Training...

For a variety of reasons, it's become necessary for me to get my WA Motorcycle Endorsement (the little bonus tag on your drivers license that says you're ok to ride motorcycles).

Got down to Boeing Renton at 0700 this morning for the 0800 class (be on time or fail, so I was early!), rode a Suzuki 250 for about 4-5 hours re-learning basic maneuvers after what was (for the most part) a 20 year hiatus.

I'd forgotten how much fun a bike with a gearshift is, and how much fun riding on normal pavement (i.e., not downtown Seattle) can be...

Can hardly wait to get the endorsement pushed through the bureaucracy on Monday.
