Glad you are now "legal" here!!
In Sun Diego, you are probably one of a handful with a VALID CA drivers lic.!
I get to watch the Saturday beginners ride almost every week at the local J.C. I pull up and park, riding up a "ramp" that's almost a curb. The instructor always looks at the XS, but then he rides a BMW GS, so I guess it's the shaft drive he likes.
There are two HD wanna be riders, I can tell by the vest and chaps they have on. I like to come up to a stop, and then go as I leave, because my feet stay on the pegs, and the bike DOES rock back into a full stop. Gives them something to strive for.

Kudos Garth,Originally posted by garthxs View Post
lessee now, passed Brit riders test in 1957. Passed Manitoba riders test in 1974. Lost 2 points off my perfect written test score because you should so be able to stop a bike even before you can balance the bastard no matter what the book sez. Transferred to a Saskatchewan bike licence in 1993 no test needed.
Betcha if I had to take a riders test tomorrow I'd fail miserably; knowing how to ride and knowing how to pass a riders test are two different skills.Fred Hill, S'toon

Don't be looking over your shoulder too much. One of those cages WILL get you.Originally posted by garthxs View Post
I let mine expire about 15 years ago because I didn't have a bike of my own for quite a while. Neither stopped me from riding though.
Got it back up to date last Jan. or Feb when I got the XS running good.
I got thrown in jail in Texas once for not having insurance.
I DON"T LIKE JAIL!!!!
