We were on the range today riding. The bikes they use for the course are 500 cc Buell Blasts. They are fun little bikes that you can lay right over at fairly high speeds and they respond well. Great bike for a younger rider or woman starting out.
Today we did lots of cone weaving, stagger cone weaving, quick stops, sharp curves while shifting, and tight slow cornering. Good times. One class participant laid their bike down, I think she panicked and hit the front break while slow turning.
Tomorrow is the last day. Obstacles, etc. as well as the road test and paper test. In the end, I will have my license and will be able to fucking CRUISE! Next summer is going to be a wild one, and I think from now on spring and summer will be spent on the open road instead of the weight room.
If you don't ride, you should really consider getting into it. If you are considering it, take the Harley Basic Rider Course. You won't be disappointed.
