Re: Odd question for people in hampton roads.
with that said if you took the msf, not sure how you failed that cuz when i took it years ago, there was a guy that high sided on the emergency stop exercise and went over the handlebars on a 250 rebel. they still passed his ass.
i think its cuz he was the only black guy

Re: Odd question for people in hampton roads.
Well I was riding out today with my mom's boyfriend. I would have been on this convo earlier but I was in my eng 112 class so I didnt get done till late afternoon. Also I am trying to cover all the parts that I noticed.
As for when I failed the class yes sadly it was the MSF class and I screwed up basically on the only part you SHOULDNT and CANT screw up on(I had never even touched a bike before the class). For some reason when making that large turn when I was breaking I had my hand on the clutch and I moved my left foot lightly. Causing me to shift the bike into n well I gave the bike gas in the turn only to notice that I rev the engine and figuring out what I did AFTER I looked down I grabbed the clutch and shifted to second but while looking down I took the turn slow causing me to go out some. Add that with the fact I slowed down in the turn (by being dumb). I also took too long in the turn and that is the only part you cant redo so yea I did my very own instant fail. What really got me I didnt have a problem with that turn UNTIL the test.
As for who I am looking to ride with I am just looking for someone to give pointers and ride around on the empty streets and if you think I am awful I dont mind riding around in a parking lot to show that I can do fine. I dont want to go all fast and be an idiot and get myself killed.
I just want to ride with someone that is safe on a bike and if you dont want to ride with me that is fine.
The reason I havent retaken the class is I am in college and well I worked at Busch Gardens and to get the bike and everything ended up costing me a lot of money I am planning to sign up for the class next weekend. If you want to ride with me after that it is fine, I just want to ride a bike safely.
Also I just noticed about that riding at night part... thanks for the heads up I didnt spot that on the dmv page about the permit.

Re: Odd question for people in hampton roads.
fuck the dmv test..that shit is hard and they are unforgiving.
with that said if you took the msf, not sure how you failed that cuz when i took it years ago, there was a guy that high sided on the emergency stop exercise and went over the handlebars on a 250 rebel. they still passed his ass.
i think its cuz he was the only black guy

The other guy actually dropped the bike while doing the brake BUT it caught his leg so it was about a 70* angle but not on the ground.
