I passed my Motorcycle Safety Foundation tests today!!! The written test wasn't hard for me, but I even passed the riding part! I think this course was more difficult for me than anything I ever took in college, and I was probably a little hard on myself about not doing everything perfectly, but in the end I did just fine. Well enough to go down to Jenks this week and get a license to ride my scooter (or even an actual motorcycle!) I'm proud of myself, if you couldn't tell, and also very relieved to have it over with. In addition to classroom time I was probably out on the riding course for close to 10 hours this weekend and I'm just sore all over. It was so worth it though, to feel like I've learned so much.
I have to say that the rider coaches for this course were really awesome. They'd correct your mistakes and make sure you didn't get by with bad habits, but they were unfailingly encouraging, even when they were telling you what you were doing wrong and they just would not let you give up on yourself. Much love for helpful competent coaching!
