Picture from Motorcycle training

On October 4th, 2009 I was perusing Ebay during lunch and came across a dealer that was selling 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan Custom 900′s for under $6000 dollars, brand new.

I hadn’t ridden a bike in a long time (back in college in 1978), but it had always been on my todo list. I emailed my wife telling her of the incredible deal and asking her if I could purchase one – We always discuss major purchases. Long story short, she said perhaps I should rent one before purchase to make sure I still liked riding.

On November,15 and 16th 2009 I took the Florida required Motorcycle training course  through Motorcycle Training Institute Inc (MTII). I passed the test on the 16th and slated the next weekend to rent a bike.

On November 19, I went to the DMV, and got the additional endorsement making it legal for me to ride motorcycles.
