I did it. Finally, after getting the itch about 5 (more like 10 really) years ago, I now have a motorcycle endorsement on my driver’s license. I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Basic Rider Course at Wake Tech over the weekend and had a blast. I am extremely tired and sore but very happy.

Successful completion of the class results in a waiver for the DMV’s skills test. So this morning I wen to the DMV and amazingly got the endorsement on my license in under thirty minutes. I just had to take the computerized knowledge test and get a new picture taken (which looks better too). So yay!
