Default Got a lot done this week
Its been a busy week and i thought i would share what has happened.

Saturday - first day of the MSF Course (classroom)
Monday - Found a used Kawasaki Ninja 500R (bought and registered on Wednesday)
Today - I went to the DMV and got my permit
Saturday/Sunday - Riding portion of the MSF!

Now all i need to do is pass the riding portion and go get my license!



Oh yeah... I already bought a helmet a couple weeks ago and my jacket/gloves should be coming in on Tuesday.

Good deal man.

It feels good huh?

You will have to head out on one of the group rides after you get some saddle time under your belt.

Feels great actually, i've been thinking about riding since i was in high school but my passion for cars kept me from switching over. I finally sold my last project and decided it was time

I'll definately be up for a group ride after i get more experience.
