I am finally legal

fasterspider · Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2007 3:17 pm Post subject: I am finally legal

I got my license today and then took the written test for my motorcycle endorsement and passed that too.
21.5 years ago I was a loser junky cab driver that did not care about anything but my next fix. 7 years have gone bye now and I am still clean and sober and because of procrastination which is my favorite character defect, it took forever to get around to it.
When I finally got to it 7 months ago, I thought it would take me more than a year but my two lawyers worked fast and got me legal in all three states that had holds on me. Two weeks ago I took the written test and today I took my road test passing with a perfect score.
As soon as I got back to the DMV, I took my written test for the motorcycle endorsement and passed that by the skin of my teeth getting three wrong when only allowed four wrong.
I am proud of myself and feel like bragging.
Many of you will have no idea at my joy, some of you will understand from experience.
To all of you I say, "Thanks for being here"

Hey congrats Ray. Itâ€™s been a long time coming. I admire your ability to get in there and take care of business. Man that must be a nice feeling not having to feel paranoid just to take a ride anymore.

Good work boss! Cool

Congratulations. It sounds like it was a lot of work, but it's worth it. After several years of procrastination brought about by ongoing clinical depression, I finally got myself legal, and it's a good feeling. And since you're bragging, I'm going to brag, too. Of the nine people there to take the riding portion of the test, I was only one of three who got through it without putting a foot down once. And the other two people were on scooters. Even the guys on the 600cc sportbikes kept losing balance and putting their feet down.

Well, you gotta bite the bullet and put up with the clueless ones to get that cert to get your motorcycle endorsement for your license.
Hope all went well! Cool

Why is it, please, that some people in this forum feel the need to emphasize their point of view by using potty language and think they have to elevate themselves above the crowd by calling others derogative names?
As a far as the "clueless" in a motorcycle class are concerned, I applaud everybody who takes one before they get on the road WITHOUT a licence.
Have all you self-proclaimed experts forgotten how it was when you started to ride? Among the worst that can happen to the motorcycle community is that newcomers to the hobby are driven away by loudmouths who think they know everything. I have been a member here for quite some time but never made a post, because I was afraid I would be clobbered by some of the acknowledged authorities here for making an innocent (or ignorant) statement.
Well, now it happened.
