Just picked up a 94 Suzuki GN 125 to assist me in my quest to get my motorcycle endorsement. Its got a sea foam green paint job and the tank has been signed by the members of Jakyl. The Rock Me, Roll Me, Jakyl Me Off message above the signatures is a little strong sauce for me but I think I can learn to live with it. It does 60 mph. with my chunky self on it so far. Some adjustments may get me a little more top end.

Are you taking the class?

No it would be hard to justify the price of the class and the price of the bike, so I bought the bike, rode it around, and took the test. Now I have my endorsement and a motorcycle. Would the class have made me a better rider? Most likely, I've been riding motorcycles on and off since I was in high school, about 37 yrs. but never too late to teach an old dog. However the classes in my area are booked into summer and I needed an endorsement for my internship so I can get my Applied Science Degree.

if you been riding that long take the advanced rider course.
more to your skill level than the beginning class
that or save your money and go to the kcmo library and check out the book...its there

I've bought Pat Hahn's book and David Hough's book for technique. I bought the "Biker's Handbook" by Jay Barbieri for cultural understanding and "Hells Angel" by Sonny Barger for historical reference. I got the skills down, it was just the piece of paper from "the powers that be" that I needed.
