So my motorcycle road test is on Thursday at 1:00pm. I just checked the weather forecast and found that starting at 1pm, we are supposed to be getting rain, scattered thunderstorms, and 12mph winds. This should make for an interesting test… lol Kenny ---

Don’t worry you’re safe. If there was hailing and earthquake going on at the same time, then I’d be worried that it just wasn’t meant to be :lol ---

Enough to do it on a Tomahawk if that gives you a visual. ---

yea, i looked at the street on google maps and it looks plenty wide enough. I’ve been practicing them within the MSC size of approx. 4 parking spaces and I was within the space on the left turn, and just outside the space for the right turn. ---

That’s why there is a thing called learning. Plus people asking on which bike to start is a positive thing, as long as they are not stubborn about starting on a Supersport. ---

I just rode in the rain on a brand new back tire… all I gotta say is if you are that legitimately worried about taking the test in the rain I suggest you cancel now and hit up Bob Kovachik to schedule a test on a sunny day. :lol ---
