Oh, yes, many years ago, you could drive through the licensing parking lot with your window open and they would run out and stamp it on your license. Jest? :-) Thomas J.

I told her yes and she showed my GA license and it's Class CM endorsement. Then she suprised me by showing me her GA license with a CM endorsement, also. For unknown reasons we'll never know, she somehow moved from Boston to Birmingham and then to Columbus Georgia and along the way she got a motorcycle license without ever having been on a bike in her life.

<><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><> Thomas, Reminds me of a ride I did in spring of 2000 in Florida. I was riding a 1982 BMW R100S from Oklahoma. I met a friend in Panama City, Florida and we rode to Cedar Key on the gulf coast a bit north of Tampa. She was a new rider although she'd ridden as a passenger with me in Europe quite a bit 17 years earlier. She was on a Honda Rebel 450?? which was only made for two years in the late 80s. It fit her well and was a comfortable bike for her. After we made a rest stop we had to make a left turn across two lanes of traffic from the left, cross a median and then turn into our lane heading left. I knew this was a bit confusing and she was a bit tired. I was leading. Just as I started out after waiting for a large window of opportunity I yelled to her to look where you want to go. At the next rest stop she told me that really made it easy for her to make the turn. I'm still glad I took the time to make that suggestion.

I was riding before they had a special license in CA, so when I brought my three cylinder with clip-ons to the first test after the new requirement, they guy said "Just ride up there and back. Don't worry about the circle". That was it. Robert P. Wichert P.Eng LEED AP +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================
