Default Pacific Riding School for people living in the Vancouver area, BC, Canada

So my wife and I are taking the motorcycle training course at the Pacific Riding School (I highly recommend this school) and passed the Motorcycle Skills Assessment. (Now we have only 2 restrictions: day-time riding only and no passenger).

Our instructors took us for a ride (Objective: Low & High speed and defensive ride): From School at 78 Av. Surrey, Alex Fraser Bridge, Richmond Hwy. Knight Bridge, SW Marine Drive, UBC, Lacorno Beach, Burrard Bridge, Robson Street, West Georgia, Hastings, China Town, Commercial Drive, Kingsway, Patullo Bridge, King George Hwy.

The ride was the wildest thing I've done in years.

We have one more session (4.5 hours) left and will practice for the road test, intersections, school and playground zones, etc.

I feel quite confident and am gonna buy insurance for the C50 tomorrow. I also feel that my better half wants her own bike now but she's not sure what she wants, well we'll see?.

Will keep you posted on my first C50 rides.

Have you seen the pix on this site: ride2die.com

Cheers
