Rain, rain, go away....

The bike is paid for but it just won't dry up. I already have something to do this evening and the rain chances are still 60% or better, so it's looking like Friday at this point to get the bike home.

You know, it seems like there was some other hobby that I'm really into.....what was it? Oh yeah, FLYING! I haven't flown in over a month! I better get out there and practice a little before taking the family on vacation on the 16th. I'm due a club check this month, so maybe I'll just grab an instructor and kill a whole bunch of birds with one stone this weekend or the next.

I'm licensed to drive on 2 wheels.

I did it. I passed the DPS vision and written tests. You need to get 14 out of a possible 20 questions correct on the written to pass. The computer ended the test when I got the first 14 questions correct. 15 dollars, a signature, 2 thumb prints, and a photo later, I had my temporary class-M license. The plastic version should arrive in 3 weeks.

Next is to pick up the bike. I don't have time today, plus it's supposed to rain most of the day. Hopefully Wednesday or Thursday I'll have time. Stay tuned.

Passed the MSF Basic RiderCourse

I passed the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Basic RiderCourse at Awesome Cycles yesterday. Now I just need to go pass the written test at the DPS office. For those of you outside of Texas, that's the Depart of Public Safety, which is like the DMV in other states. It's up to you to figure out why ours is different. Anyway, After doing that I can go pick up my yellow 2004 Honda 599 that's waiting for me at Honda of Houston.

Insurance is ready, financing is ready, and we just have to get over there. I don't have time to go get it tomorrow after work, but maybe I'll have time Wednesday. My last unknown is that I've ordered frame sliders for it and they likely won't get here until Thursday or Friday. Do I feel confident enough to practice on it and then drive it home without the sliders? I'd give that a "yes" but if something happened and I dropped it, boy my name would be mud! I'll let you know what happens.
