i feel like a badass

[2eclipse]

as of yesterday we are officially working toward getting me a motorcycle.
specifically a honda nighthawk. this is because magikay and lada93 are made of awesome.

EDIT: i have been informed that this is incorrect. the bike is actually a rebel 450...which i like even better! woot!

i will be scouting out the options for weekend-long saftey courses.
and some chaps and other protective gear.
this may make me less of a badass, but is also indicative of being smarter than the average bear.

yes, sunmother, i know you hate it. you are free this does not change my decision or my happiness about it.

my main question now is: where are we going to put it? per haps we build a shed this summer?

It's actually a rebel 450, similar to a nighthawk but more harley shaped.
We managed to squeeze two of them and a chevy blazer into a single car garage, so I think you'll have no problems with storage, hehe

The safety course is great, we both did that as well

you will enjoy it!

AWESOME.
i've actually seen pictures of the rebel on their website and that's a pretty slick bike! i like the seat a little bit better than the nighthawk's.

where did you take your safety course? was it all weekend?
do you have any advice for me about how to prepare for the safety course?

We took ours at Anoka Tech, Laura a year after I did. It was a saturday- Sunday, half day each day with a 3 hour classroom on the wednessday before.
I think I still have the materials from the class, other wise there is the pdf here: http://www.motorcyclesafety.state.mn.us/latest/MMSChome.asp?cid=1
You can find the training course there as well, looks like there is one in WBL
