Motorcycles!

I (Ross) have always wanted to ride motorcycles. It never made much sense to me when we lived in Michigan since I wouldn't ride for more than half the year. So once we moved down here to Arizona I started getting the bug again. We talked about it and started looking at various cycles. At first we were just going to buy a cheap Chinese scooter and ride "2 up" on it. After some research we decided they just aren't very durable and would be more trouble than fun. Then, after an aborted attempt to buy a used Honda Reflex scooter we decided to take the BRC (Basic Rider Course) through TEAM Arizona. Here in Arizona you can attend an approved class and, if you pass, take the certificate to the MVD (Motor Vehicle Division) and get you motorcycle endorsement.

We both attended the 2 day training class at TEAM Arizona's Gilbert location at the end of April. The class consisted of half classroom and half course (riding) work. This class was definitely the way to get our endorsements! We could have "done it ourselves" but we wouldn't have learned anywhere near as much as we did in the class. It was well worth the cost!
