Oops + I is a Motorcyclist (Mega update p-blog edition)
Posted in P-blog, Personal Updates on June 27th, 2009So much for weekly updates…. HA!
But I had a pretty good reason – Friday June 5th was my first “automatic DMV endorsement” motorcycle class! Whee!
Saturday was cold & raining all day. Riding motorcycles for five hours in the rain was pretty yay, but there was no relief for me until I got home because, of course, the top is off my Jeep and I’m too stubborn to put it back on. Hmph. I did get 100% on the written test though & had a chance to kinda dry out during the classroom portion.
One bad thing: I missed Peter Murphy in concert because I was so wiped out from class. 
Welcome to Reno, Nevada – June 6th, 2009.
I learned that my shitty little scooter gloves were NOT adequate hand protection after my fingers started going numb and went and blew $40 on a nice pair of leather cycle gauntlets. Which meant that the next day was beautiful and sunny!
I realize now that I should have taken a few pictures of my class, but my camera was in my Jeep, blah blah blah. I should have at least gotten a shot of my awesome as shit instructor, Ed. He has great tattoos and is a Subgenius! Woot! I’m gonna go back & say hi when I get my bike, so maybe I’ll get a pic then.
Sunday we rode & drilled for about four hours & then took our skills evaluation. Even though I totally fucked up the “box”, I passed and got my DMV card! And learned that I LOATHE Honda Nighthawks. There was a Rebel in the training bikes, but there was another girl in class who was only 5′6″ so she got to ride that one. But Ed let me ride the Rebel around after class and I’ve decided I want one. Even though EVERYONE is telling me “Get a bigger bike”, I want a god damn Rebel, god damn it.
Monday morning I was at the DMV at 7:15a. Evidently they changed the hours to open at 8a instead of 7:30a. Dis.
I was first in line though.
And they came out around 7:45a to prep everyone for easy processing.
So I now have a class M endorsement! Go me!
Now I just need to buy me a Rebel.
Here are the past 4 Friday t-shirts:
HAN SHOT FIRST!
Another Nick Cave
Coil, bitches
Watchmen stolen from Rick’s closet
Oh yeah, this amuses me to no end:
Get it? Probably not. No one gets my jokes.

I’m also kinda pissed that not enough people signed up for our WoW guild attempt at “The Immortal” achievement, but that’s another nerd story for another nerd day.
