We have spent the last two evenings looping around the parking lot, and I have not yet fallen down. I plan to try, for if you have to scuff up a bike, it&#8217;s probably nicer if you can scuff up someone&#8217;s trainer bike. Shame, because the bikes we&#8217;re using are Suzuki GZ250s, which are pretty bikes. If small. I will note that the first one to drop a bike was a 110 lb girl, directly in front of me. I was torn between my desirte to get off the bike and help, and the instructor&#8217;s direction for me to go around. She&#8217;s ok, a little gravel in her hand. She was wearing cheap gloves. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway. if I have a bitch about the course, it&#8217;s that you have almost no time to practice the moves- the one they test you on, the hardest one so far, I only got to do three times before they called us in.<br \/>\nI did pass the written with 100, however, and I hope I get enough practice in tomorrow so I can do better on the cycle test friday.<\/p>\n<p>I also hope i can get SOME practice in this weekend.
