Message: [QUOTE="FireLily, post: 269564, member: 27976"] [b]Hi, Princess![/b] First of all, your PM was full last night, and I couldn't send a PM to you. Could you please send me your email address to my PM? I have a long email to send you. Well, as for how I started.....I learned how to ride a motorcycle at Honda's motorcycle school in Fukuoka, Japan! That was when I was 37. I had a BMW R69S which I inherited from my husband, and I thought I should get a license to ride it. So I went to a school and took a course for 400cc under and then another course for 400cc over. It costed about $2,000 altogether! The coolest thing was they had a very expensive simulation set that you could actually sit and ride (in a same position) on while you are looking at a screen in front of you. So you can experience any types of environment, rainy, foggy, night, congestion and so on by instructor's computer control. On the graduation day, they let me ride 1100cc motorcycle (in the course). It was a huge motorcycle for me, though. I moved California in August '00, and I started riding a dirt bike. Now I wish I started at the age of 10! I imagine it would have made a big difference.....But since I don't have a time machine, I just have to work on improving my skills. So Princess, have you been riding since 10? How many bikes have you ridden? Did you race? Mini:D [/QUOTE]
