M license

[Crossbones Dennis]

Not so much a ride report. But Mark and I took my oldest kid, Eric 17, to get his class M. We went to the DMV So he could get his written out of the way while we waited for the motorcycle shop to open. They told him that since he passed the MSF class the did not need to take the written, just the riding.
So we went to Moto Italia in Edwardsville and rented a 150cc scooter, $45. I rode it back to the DMV. After waiting in line again, they tell him they made a mistake and he now needs to take the written.
He takes and passes it. He had to wait again for a person to give him the riding. He passed it with flying colors. He had 5pts deducted for putting a foot down on a u turn.

When it was all done, I made him ride the scooter back to the dealer. We followed in my truck. We went and stuffed ourselves at Ponderosa courtesy Mark.

We hit a couple of bike dealers on the way home. I think he like the Ninja 250 and 500 the best. The 250 looks better. The 500 looks outdated but I think he would get more use out of it. He also like the dual purpose bikes.

Oh well, want in one hand.......

I got my M liscense in the mid 80's, havn't rode in about 15 years now, but will not get rid off it b/c it's a pain to get another one. Helped many people get theirs including my son.

I got my M license in the early 80`s. In `89 or `90 I moved to Kansas and got a license there. A few years later when I moved back to Missouri and switched to a Missouri license, the M endorsement wasn't on it. I had to take the driving test again. The instructor was a 30 something very cute woman with braces on her teeth. As she was talking, a little bit of spit would build up around the corners of her mouth, and she kept licking her lips to keep the spit off. As I said, she was very cute, and the way she kept licking her wet lips was getting to me. I was mesmerized! After a minute I realized she was asking me "Do you understand?" I just looked at her and said "What?". She must have thought I was an idiot.
Yes I passed my test, and no, I didn't get her number.
just thought I`d share that experience
