Did It

I finally did it passed my MSF course now all i gotta do is walk into the dmv to get my endorsement. I was so pump when i got the "you've passed" I can tell you how exciting it is to know that im one step closer to get on a bike and be able to drive around. After the MSF class no corner or curve is ever the same to me, i constantly keep on thinking what i would do if i was on a bike.

MSF Class finally

been takin my msf class finally, i went to last thrusday class which was held in a class room. The course provided you with a work book and we pretty much went over the book. It was extremely helpful seeing that i never touch a bike before. This following sunday we had a course riding, I can honestly say that i love this stuff i couldnt get enough of it. We rode for 8 till 3 and i still wanted more even though it was raining and cold. This week we will have a one more thursday class and a another saturday riding session, hope i pass so i can get my linces. wish me luck

Anti Theft

First:
Disc lock on the rear and be sure it is the flat key disc lock if you are using a Kryptonite lock. The round key locks are being recalled. Put it on the rear because these thugs are getting smart. If you use it on the front, two yard apes can wheelie the bike anywhere they want and defeat the disc lock later Especially if you are running around town.

Second:
Scorpio alarm system. This lil device is so comforting. I have tested it out in various situations, parking garages, underground lots, alleys, bikenights, etc. Works like a champ Do a google and you will find them. I installed my own on a Ducati 749, piece of cake. All the instructions are enclosed. Follow them to the letter and you shouldn't have a problem. Really great if you are running around town

Third:
Kryptonite chain or heavy duty cable with lock. Once agin the flat key type. I wrap this thing around the tow hooks of my Expedition, at night, set the alarm on the truck and the bike, install the disc lock, and go to bed. One last thing I do is park my truck inches away from my bike and use the factory steering lock, yeah I got one too Stubs

So, there you have it. Haven't had any problems with thieves. Seen a few lurkers but they just keep moving along. Matter of fact I am looking forward to someon trying to steal my bike so I can use my other means of reprecussion

Helmet Law

by KYW’s Tony Romeo
PennDot says the number of motorcycle fatalities in 2004 -- the first full year after a change in state law allowed adults over age 21 to ride without a helmet –- decreased from the previous year.

Pennsylvania’s helmet law was repealed as of September 2003, and PennDot spokesman Steve Chizmar says the number of motorcycle fatalities actually dropped by 14 the following year:

“In 2004, there were 157 motorcyclist fatalities, and that compares to 2003, when 171 motorcyclists lost their lives.”

But Chizmar says the total number of Pennsylvania motorcycle fatalities in 2004 was still higher than the total of 140 in 2002 and 127 in 2001 -- the last two full years that the helmet law was in effect.

Of the 157 fatalities that occurred last year, there were 70 victims who wore no helmet, 73 who did wear a helmet, two who used an improper helmet, six who used a helmet improperly, and there were six cases in which the helmet usage is not known.

Running Red Light

There was an email just sent out to all the sportbike riders on base here at Little Rock Air Force Base, that says an amendment was made to an Arkansas law, that allows motorcycle operators to run a red light, if they are sitting there, and the sensor will not trigger. There are certain conditions, you obviously can't just run every light, but it's nice to know I won't have to sit at that stubborn light at 3 in the morning, waiting for a car to pull up, so it will turn for me.
