A little Update one whats been going on

I noticed I forgot to tell everyone that I tried to take the handling /driving test for my cycle endorcement, I Failed miserably the first tyme around,, fortuniatly I wasn't the only one. Infact out of 12 riders, only 4 passed the first tyme, & On my second attempt of the day, I passed!
I will be doing the beginners riding course! I just wasn't able to do so this year, for several reasons.

Today, I went on my first charity bike ride, There was 180+ bikes there. I actually enjoyed myself on the ride. it was only 115 miles round trip, & broken up into 4 legs. I personally would have liked longer legs, but I understand the reason behind it thou.
Half way thru the ride I was asked if I would be a Blocker, as they were down one & I just so happened to be wearing one of my Hi-Vis yellow shirts. ( Guess what color shirts The Blockers were wearing ) So what the hell, & I would rather help out & keep people safe then say sorry & Someone gets hurt because I wouldn't help!
We had 3 ISP Motorcycle Troopers that led they way, & actually stopped traffic, Then a pair blocker's would take his place. My Blocking partner was riding a Kawasaki 750 Turbo so we looked as thou we may have been riding buddies. :biggrin:
The only other V4 was an '07 ST1300, Nice lookin bike, & he has 80,000 miles on her.
