To Ride a Motorcycle

Here's our wonderful, awesome group of RIDERS!
Though, at the end of the day we were all tired, there was an air of excitement. We had all accomplished something we had never done before, RIDE a motorcycle. Going from "fast walking the bike' to bringing our feet up, feeling the weight of the bike, and moving forward was quite thrilling.
After today, I have a better sense of what it's like to countersteer, to brake in an emergency and to upshift and downshift, and how important it is to keep looking in the direction you want to go. All the concepts and information that our trainers, Katherine and Meg, shared with us last night made more sense today.
I am still pretty hyped! Tomorrow we put to test, literally, what we learned today and last night. It's time for me to go study and look like a moron in my living room as I stand over my imaginary bike, slowly release the clutch lever, roll back on the throttle and go for a ride :)
