I use all our trash cardboard to ignite brush piles from my clearing operations.

A real poster buddy would have mentioned that to him. What else are you holding out on him?

He lives in the ritzy area where that kind of self reliance isn’t allowed. Besides, if he were to light a fire in his backyard it might ignite all those tires and barrels of oil he keeps there.

I had forgotten about the U Turn in the box. That was a tough one, but otherwise, I recall the test being perversely fun.

Most of the stuff you had to do in the test, I never had to do while riding on the permit. Sort of weird.

Exactly. I will never make crawling-speed tight maneuvers without allowing my feet to touch the ground. Why would I NEED that? What I really need was never part of the course nor test: 50 mph over rough road.

But, hey, it’s done.

I don’t know if I’ll graduate to a more adult bike. I’ve been eyeing them for sure. Something like a Kawasaki Vulcan or Eliminator, an Indian Scout Sixty, or Royal Enfield super Meteor seem like they’d be better suited to me. I know I could sell this Piaggio for more than I paid for it, if I decide to go that way.

That’s a bad name for something with 2 wheels that can go more than 50 MPH. I suggest you don’t get that one.
