LAZY

Well I was going to work today . At least I was planning on it. I had the bOYZ over last night for Chili and cards. It broke up at 230 am ish. I was planning on getting to work at 9 and seeing what I could do. I forgot to turn on my alarm. So When I opened up my eyes I thought I might have slept in and it was 9 - 930 am..... wow it was 12:20 pm. I got up and cleaned the house from the night before and just had a lazy day..... sometimes those are the best.......

One hot tamale.....

Someone had a few issues with the tamale photo in my last post. I kinda still thing the last picture seem somthing that one would go to if they had never seen or ate a tamale. This year was cool at my parents house. My dad made the tamales. I know my mom cooked the pork and seasonings but my dad filled all the husks. I remember as a kid filling and putting all of the tamales in the pot. Waiting through the night for them to be done. The steam from the post heating up the kitchen and the smell of spicy pork and corn meal in the house. My Uncle would make a pot of coffee and even as a kid he would pour me a cup. Yes it was loaded with cream an sugar and perfect with a tamale. In some way that still is Christmas to me. My kids are sttill very young and I havent set up any traditions yet. ok, 1 so far... we open one present on christmas eve. I want to have a few more as they grow, but so far thats it. I hope you all had a great Baby Jesus Birthday.....

Merry Christmas...

Wow it looked like a bomb went off in my house today. Picture if you will 2 boys up at what felt like the crack of dawn and opening box after box. Papers and toy cars every where. Breakfast . Then a nap for my self. Then off 2 grandma and grand pa's when it started all over again this time with their cousin....... Its cool seeing Christmas through their eyes. We were leaving and walking past a few houses near my parents we saw a manger secne in lights. My oldest (5) looked and said that Little God was lit up. Made me smile. We then went on a ride in a area that was called Candecane lane (years ago). They used to decorate with rows of old toy soldiers . I havent gone in a few years. I guess people move or stop certain traditions. I have a few traditions that I like to do . One is on Christmas eve we open gift and I took a cue from the Jews (I have a few jewish friends!!) and order Chinese food. #2 TAMALES AT MY PARENTS HOUSE. Now that is a good time..... BTW this was the weirdest Tamale picture that I could find.

Bad Santa

Hey all I hope thigs are going well for you. I've been busy at work. This week is ok next week will be very busy. The last week of the year in Auto sales is always crazy. Any how I hope that you do get your christmas wishes and don't get any coal in your stockings.Click here for Zuzu'z pettles....

ER part 2...

SO this morning we decide to go to breakfast. As I'm pulling the youngest out of the carseat he cried a bit. We get in to the pancakehouse he eats and laughs but does not lift his right arm. As I get his jacket on him he does not want to me touched or lift the arm. I go to feel the elbow and he starts crying. I head off to the ER. AGain I tell the nurse what happened. I am actually expecting to be questioned about what happens (like I abused my son). But no ... The DR comes out and reads his file on how we were there on Wed night. He knows exactly what to do and explains the my son has a ligiment in the elbow that may be streachy. He shows us how to pop his elbow back in. The nice part is that the DR could see the worry in my face and told me that is was not my fault. ..... I felt like shit , but was made to feel better by the DR.. As of this evening his elbow is fine and he's running around like a knucklehead.....

MMM smokes...

Merry Christmas all.... Hope you get everything you asked for.....just becareful what you ask for.

ER...

Well this week has been uneventful for the most part except for wed night. My 2 year old dislocated his elbow. I thought it was his shoulder when I got home from work he was crying and could not hold it up. His brother and him were jumping on the sofa and wham... he fell/got knocked off - whatever. We make it in to the ER and the Dr says "it may be a break , but she feels like its most likely a dislocation" She asked if she could pop it back in to place. I agreed.. She grab my sons arm and pulled and twisted. I wanted to hit her because he was screaming. then pop.. 20 min later he was fine. the nurse said he could be sore for a few days but ok for the most part.. A few days later and hes doing ok. He tends to favor the left arm a little more than the right but is doing ok ...

and ummmm....WTF is a "gyro"?

A few days ago I ended a post with there are no GYROS in Whichita. I now have to answer a question I thought I would never ever have to answer. "and ummmm....WTF is a "gyro"?...... A gyro is a little piece of Greek heaven. It consists of the Gyro meat which is a combonation of lamb and beef. It is usually found in a 60 pound wheel and slowly cooked for days on a roaster that spins round and round. The meat is shaved and placed on a warmed pita bread. Then covered with fresh tomatos and onions and somthered with taziki sauce (a garlic cukecumber yogurt blend).

Heres another definitiuon....Gyro (yee-roh) - A Greek sandwich specialty. A proper Greek gyro is made with meat cut off a big cylinder of well-seasoned lamb or lamb and beef. This meat is on a slowly rotating vertical spit the name gyro, implying the circular spinning motion of a gyroscope). The sandwich maker slices off strips of the warm meat when the sandwich is ordered; heats pita bread on a griddle or grill, and then serves the meat on the bread, topped with the sauce, and usually garnished with lettuce and tomato.

Gyro is probably the most often mispronounced food name. Even its fans usually do not get the pronounced correctly - whether it is mispronounced as "jee-rohs," "jai-rohs," "gee-rohs," The correct Greek pronunciation is “yee-rohs.”

Ok I have eaten alot of drunken midnight Gyros in my life time but lettuce??? I have never and I mean NEVER seen lettuce on a Gyro. Even in greek town. So my dearest Scarlett I hope this answers your question on what a Gyro is. If you have a chance to have one and I mean a good one it will always be part of your late night food habbits.

Thank you too frosty...

Goodbye

Thank you for making me laugh......

Home again home again jiggity jig.....

Well I'm home. The flight was another of Dante's circle of hell, its the circle where you stil next to a fat man in a small plane and all he does is move around. I get to the plane at Wichita go through security and get to my seat. i nthe seat next to me is a large , old techno nerd w/ his lap top out. I hear him say "Oh great" as I sit down. Now I am thugged out at this point , full biker lesther , combat boots an AAss brewery black hat and wearing a dark shirt. I hit down buckle in and start to sleep. Now I stand 6'1 and weigh about 270. Not a small man. We are on top of each other. This flight is about an hour 20 min. During the first half he is figgiting with papers in a bag the lap top , writing emails and going through more papers. The stewartess comes buy and he asks for a drink. We dont even have roomo to drop the tray. Im trying my best just to sleep. I'm going home. Finally I just say "dude were 40 mins till we land cant this just wait? " . He stops dead in his tracks. I pull my hat over my eyes and drop off for the remainder of the flight. As we land a guy from across the asile tapps me on the shoulder and starts to tell jokes. (Nice guy) then hands me 2 $1,000,000 bills for my kids to have. The techno geek next to me has put his papers and lap top away without waking me. Arrrrg..... ANy how I beat the snow storm home, no delays. A freind picked me up ay the airport and I was happy. My body must have just been exhausted I was in bed by 11pm and crashed out. Crazy dreams and a good nights rest. I actually played hookey today. SO that made it even better. At 10 pm I went out to shovel it was weird NO one was out. It was like a ghost town, no drivers no other shovelers nothing just the sound of snow falling and me. That was kinda nice , it let me just work with out thinking. Glad to be home.... BTW had a gyro today --NO GYROS IN WICHITA....

9 days...

Its been a long nine days. I'm tired, 11 hour days then going out and being in a room w/ a stranger. I've almost felt that I have been stifleing (sp?) myself. That I have not been my self. I have not been real to my self here or at work.People look up to me here and listen to what I have to say. My reputation proceeds me. I guess the General manager of each new store hand picks out who they want. Files are looked at before selections are made. I have to live up to that reputation here. My sales presintation has to be crisp, clean, I have to smile and look sharp. I have to have the answer to every question that each sales person has. I'm number six in the nation according to the companies surveys. The truth is I guess I miss home. Im here alone in the cold and wind. Its funny a phrase comes to me and I don't know where I've heard it but "Hell is a cold dark place...". Tomorrow its supposed to snow and I'll probally get delayed on the plane comming home.
I'm just venting here because I cant do it at work.... I'm sitting by t he fire and typing an open rant ... ladies thank you for listening. Oh Scralett heres your monkey...

dinner

I've been eating out every lunch and dinner this week. Its ok the company is paying for it. So its been a small lunch Micky d's or subway, but dinner has been nice. We have been hitting the best steakhouses in Wichita. Last night I wanted a night alone. I took the van and just started driving. I found a Asian place, it served Chinese and japanese foods. I had some sushi and tempura. Nice place but even a nice dinner alone can seem hollow. As I was walking out I stopped to see the pics of the celebs on the wall. The usual local news groups and radio people. In the center I had to do a double take as I saw a picture of Glen Close and Christopher Walken together........ Now that folks was worth the price of admission. More cow bell..................

Where are you...?

Well I've been out of my element and in Wichita for a few days and I've been reading a lot of maps in the past few days (to keep my bearings). I also saw this frapper thing on other sites, but Ms Scarlett site made me want to put this up. If you can just let me know where you are from or would like to be at. If you do put up a fantasy place please tag it as such.....With the warmest of thoughts ... Mr. CraneWHERE ARE YOU????--*LINKY*

quiz time again

Which Trainspotting Character Are You?


its one of my favoirte movies

More on kansas

Ok I've been here for a few days now. Kinda weird. This state has its taxes set up kinda different than what I'm used to. In IL when you buy a car you pay $78 for plated and registration, here its $10 to register the car and the cost of the plates is dependent on the cost of the car. A $2ok might run you $400 for plates -- every year. A motorcycle like a herley is considered a luxury and plated would run you $500. How ever .. gas is $1.89 per gallon. I thought I would never see gas under $2.00 in my life time.
Its windy here. it seems like the wind just does not want to stop. It blows from the time you get up until the time you go to bed. I'm tired ive been working 10 and 11 hour days .. its a good tired but long. Last night I had some killer pork chops and garlic mashed potatoes.... some good beers and watched some dawn of the dead. Not a bad end to a long day. I actually have a day off this week some time, I don't know when but i'm already looking forward to it. 6 more days......night all.

Wichita,ks

Well I think I have just flown the smallest plane i have ever been on. It sat 3 across,2 on one side and 1 solo on the other. My shoulders touched the inside rails of the aisle. My carry on just fit because it is smaller that a regular plane.The flight was 2 hours long and no so bad... well it was but I slept all the way through. I went to sleep in Chicago and woke up in Kansas. -- I'm here and just had a half day at work. Its very Hick like (no disrespect intended) Kinda weird... I have a room mate. I'm in a residence Inn in a kinda 2 flat. Its ok we have our seperate space, but I only met this guy at other work functions. I'm here with several co - workers from my own store so it is fun. Went out tonight and had a FAT TIRE ALE... you can't get that on my side of the mississippi river. Very yummy... Ok folks, I'm tired and need to get some beddy bye time in.

Stupid people

Saturday was a busy day at work. I met with several stupid customers that day. The first came in to see what his car was worth. If your price was better than another dealers he would see it to us. He said he recieved a letter from the other dealer that they were looking to buy cars for their used car lot. I tried to explain that this was a scam and they only want you in the door to sell you a car he seemed confused. I didnt feel like going on so I wished him luck. Dumb ass #2 came in with his wife. The looked for a car and found one the liked they wanted to buy the car. When I had their car appraised to went for $6000. He thought they owed $9000. Not horrible but not good. Turns out he forgot they had a second payment book and really owed .....$19000 for $9000. Whoops dumb ass . I guess its no new car for you. --- I was fuming I had just wasted 3 hours with these people. A fellow sales man told me " Hey I know your mad for not getting commision and wasting three hours, That guy just got screwed out of $10000 more dollars in ten minutes".... The auto industry thrives on stupid people. They make big money on deals done with some and mirrors. Like the new deal that maintence and gas is free for 2 years.... do you really think the car companies are just going to give that away, NO!!. You actually pay fo r that in inflated prices of the new cars. anyways Im just ranting about work and you dont need to hear that....
in other news , spent some time putting up lights. not done yet I will finnish up next week. Tuesday I'm off to Wichita , Ks. Work is work and i'm actually looking forward to it. Its only for a week ,but I think this will give me a refresher that I need when I get back. ---- I hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving day. If I dont post for a week its because I might not have internet access, but we'll see..... Laters ...

turkeyday.....

Last year I posted this on the "other" blog. I am already looking forward to leftovers.**LINKY**

Baby its cold outside...

Spent a good day cleaning the yard, burning leaves and twigs, laundry and took a nap. The highlight of the day was a short but cold final ride on the motorcycle. I put STA_BIL in the gas tank to keep it fresh during the winter. I took it out but the day was about 40 degrees. At 35- 40 mph that was about 15 degrees. I was dressed for it but you could feel the cold creep in. It was a short ride about a half hour. I got home and had some Mexican hot chocolate. Now thats tasty.... If you havent had it Mecican hot chocolate come in a hard block form. It has dark bitter sweet chocolate mixed with brown sugar and cinimon. The block it broken and blended with hot milk and enjoyed. It taked time in the kitchen to make it but well worth it.

Maybe its because...

Maybe its because the days are shorter. Maybe its because the economy sucks. Maybe its because I can't seem to get warm. Maybe its because I need the house to be quiet. Maybe its because I ran out of time to ride the motorcycle. Maybe its because come home to the boys sleeping. Maybe its because I'm missing TV. Maybe it because I'm watching my friends struggle. Maybe its because I watch the news to much. Maybe its because I haven't found a show to replace x-files. Maybe its because I miss my Uncle. Maybe its because my newphew is scared of me. Maybe its because I want to sleep in. Maybe its because I don't want to hear you bitch at work any more. Maybe its because I want our boys out of the mid-east. Maybe its because I miss my friends 15 years ago and the way we used to hang out. Maybe its because I want so much for my own boys. Maybe its because I didn't win the $315 million dollars. Maybe its because I feel like Im getting bigger. Maybe its because my son keeps me up at night. Maybe its because I care too much. Maybe its because I don't give a shit. Maybe its because I'm haveing weird dreams again. Maybe its because movies have kinda sucked this year. Maybe its because I feel days are going by too fast. Maybe its because I feel numb inside. Maybe its because I can't find God . Maybe its because I want a new Tattoo. Maybe its because Im growing tired of Mexicans. Maybe its because I miss my mom's tacos. Maybe its because I want the kids to speak Spanish. Maybe its because I can calm my mind. Maybe its because I wanted too much. Maybe its because I didn't want enough. Maybe its because....Maybe its because .......

close shave...

Triming hair. Now every one has trimmed stray hair on their bodies at home. I find it very sexy when women have a well trimed private area... a landing strip or hitlers moustache, racing stripe etc. I have used a barbers clippers my self to trim down any wild growth "down there". However the other day I was bored in the shower and had extra time. No one was home so I decided to shave completely my neither regions (and I mean all!). I don't know why? Its not like I'm going to show the world HEY WORLD LOOK AT ME I'M SQUEEKY CLEAN!!. ......I have been shaved there before . bu that was when I had surgery .... lil different this time. While you may say big deal I do it all the time , I'm going to guess your a woman, not a burly manly man LOL ... Night all ...

People buy cars and then want to trade them in under 1 fucking year and want us to buy then for what they paid for the car....

thank you post secret for the pic.
Work has been a little slow -- it always gets a little longer between customers. I still do ok. I know how to work a deal until its done , but the down time starts to get to me. The motor cycle class is helping to reduce that and keeps me mentaly fresh.When I'm not doing that it feeling like i'm growing mentaly slow.... I feel pent up like a tiger in a cage.... I'm looking forward to Wichita Kansas. Its work , buts its outside of the box. Its a week of refocusing.... Thats kinda hard to explain. I'm allso looking forward to Thanksgiving. I'm making a turkey and mole` as well as a BBQ turkey breast. Mayby its the sun going down so early or the hint of cold thats comming.. I just feel a little off.

You are Foreplay


What kind of sex are you?
brought to you by Quizilla


Again I fall for these silly quizes.........

Dark sun 1

I have had a few days off from work and have been doing things around the house. The raking of leaves , cleaning of gutters and taking the kids to the zoo. Friday I decided to work on the bike and I got the windsheild fixed. It was about 4 pm. The mood hit me that I wanted to ride the motorcycle. By the time I got my gear on the Sun was down. I sparked her up and rode for about an hour. This was my longest ride, but my first in the dark. I had a blast. I love this time of year, leaves in color or falling, the crisp air, holidays around the corner. But I can not stand that the sun goes down at 4 pm. That part kinda puts my in a slight seasonal depersion. I know I run a little more cold mentaly until spring.... that about all kids.

Day of the dead...

Nov 1 is the Dia de los Muertos (The day of the dead). In Mexico family would traditionaly go to the grave site pf a loved one and clean it from top to bottom. They would also make a day of it a kind of picnic of the day. Stories would be told of you to other family members. It makes death a part of life. Sure you still mourn your lost loved one , but its a natural part of life. - I missed out on going to the Mexican bakery and picking up a pan de los muertos (bread of the dead). Its a semi sweet bread that is great with coffee. I would love to find skull candies here in the USA but I have not looked that hard for them. So tonight is you read this... think about some one that you lost in your life and remember the good things that he/she may have taught you about life.

A holiday monkey....

This blog used to see much more monkies actually amost one per post. I have been lax in my monkey post. Here's one that just might make a way cool tattoo for me.... (Please note tattoo copyrighted by Mr. Crane)

Rambo 3

A question was posted to me in my last posting ... Why Rambo 3?? In truth I only just recently watched it for the first time last year. It was not a very good movie. Here is the story. It was 1988 and I was in college. my then girl friend was from the North side of the city. Very Polish, very strict family with a tight curfew ( As least during school nights). Me? I was foot loose and fancy free. I was living on a 24 hour a day life style. I had just got a job working at a Bank in the Chicago Suburbs. It was a cool job and I was making Ok money. So I did what any red blooded American boy would do, I bought a car. That weekend I decided to take my girlfriend to see a movie at the drive-in in my new car. I think she hated my older car. (1976 Mercury Cougar) After deciding on what movie was playing we went to the show. I snuck in a few beers and we bought a tub o pop corn. Well one think lead to another and we had sex in the back seat of the car while Rambo 3 played on. The heavy ass metal speakers hung in the window while we did the hibbity bibbity. The explosions the gunfire and me being lazy afterward and making her get me a soda after we were finished (insert evil laugh here) ,SO thats why Rambo 3 makes me laugh......
--------------------
Please note not ever movies listed evded up in sex. Some were just a nice evening with a special girl. Enjoying each others company. Smiles laughs and frights.

Gump...

Last night I watched Forrest Gump. Its been a very long time since I've watched the whole movie start to finish. That movie has some emotional heart strings for me. It is that last movie that I watched with an old girl friend. Its funny I don't really have too many songs that reming me of dates or girl friends , I have movies. Well there are a few songs but movies are what stand out in my mind. A two hour window in my life that I spent with a girlfriend sitting and holding hands in the dark of the theater. Somthing nice about that. Sometimes I wonder what songs/movies trigger memories about me in past girlfriends. I know an old college girlfriend told me that "Cold as Ice" reminded her of me ,because I was emotional cold as we broke up. As if it did not bother me. In truth I dont think I noticed until several months later, but thats a different story. Heres a list of movies that make me smile for one reason or another.....
Forrest gump, Rambo 3, New jack city, Man bites dog, Rocky Horror, Enemy Mine, Broken arrrow, Aliens, Cobra, Ghost in the shell.

Non-baseball.....

Well I got my Bill for a Cat Scan...... ready???? $3000 ... Shit I paid less thatn that for the motorcycle. Thank God for Insurance.... I knew it was expensive but come on. The lovely orange shit that I had to drink cost $300 (well that could have been the Iodine shot??) I hate reading the medical bills. --- I actualy took the bike out around the neighborhood. Damn I was very nervous. I need to shake this off..... I have the skills to ride and the mental know how. I just feel kinda scared... I can't do too much more this year. I'm preping to put it away for the Winter.
---------------------------
I'm going away for a week to wonderful Wichita, Kansas. I'm a mentor where I work. Thats like being a trainer for sales. The Company where I work is opening up a new store there. While not a glamorous place it will show up as a good notch in my work record. So in that sence its cool its also cool that they did ask me. A few months ago I was ranked #6 in the nation for the company as top mentors. Im going the tuesday after Thanksgiving. I think it will be fun Im overlapping a few days with some guys from work. Maybe we'll get drunk and rock Wichita to the foudations... (right......).
---------------------------
I have to say I'm tired. Watching the SOx has left me drained. My leg/heal hurts It's better but it still hurts when I walk. Emotionaly I kinda feel weak. I know thats is the darkness thats comming. The WInter Sun setting in and the gray skys settling in. I think that in some crazy way I would love to sleep for a week. I slept once for about 24 hours... I was very sick and woke up to pee during the day. I drank some water and went back to bed. I had crazy feavered dreams that dwarfs wanted to steal my brain and replace it with missile that would fire in to the USSR (it was 1983 ). When I woke up from that its when I found out that I am prone to migranes. The Dr. said thats what happened. Thats why I could not see and light hurt my eyes and head. Ok faithful readers Im going to bed.... If your in Chicago I know you are tired and also need your rest. Ladies Ricardo will be back after he rests up from all the excitement from the Sox win.

For the Cubs fans....

Maybe next year?? NOTE; this is not a slam but and honest wish that Chicago can shake off all of its curses. I would love to see the Cubs do it next year, the bulls come back and I would cry if the Bears could do the shuffle part 2......

What a night....

Went to the local wild wings and saw the Sox Sweep the win. The whole place went up. I was beaming. What did piss me off though was a few assholes chanting CUBS SUCK CUBS SUCK. What the fuck is wrong with you. This is a night and a win for Chicago. A frined of mine who is a huge Cubbie was there and gracefully shook everyones hand at the table and we told him "Maybe next year for the Cubs..." - Thats the way it should be.

dogged

What the fuck am I doing? I never watch Tv for more than a few hours at a time. I have just finnished watching a five hour base ball game its one freaking thirty in the am and I have finnished watching the SOX winn theor 3rd game. One more to go. Its cool to go from being the butt end of jokes for supporting a very blue collar team that was in the Cubs shadow to being one game from the top. ... If any one is reading the I'm going to bed. ---- Oh yea .... N/A .... Happy 30th..

Scan my cat.......

Well it's been 2 weeks since my motorcycle accident and I finally went ot the Doctor. In the past few weeks I was using a cane to hobble around. The knee has almost healed up from the road rash. My hand is also healed up. My heal still hurts but it is a whole lot better. Now comes the belly.... at first it hurt from where the handle bars hit it. Then it had some swelling that soon developed. That developed into a swelling that is about the size of an orange. The swelling is kinda like a waterbaloon that is under the skin. -- The Doctor said it may me either a hernia or just a hematoma , but I needed to go have a cat scan done. The only time that was open that day was at 9:30. When I got there they loaded me in to the machine and injected me with Iodine. My body came over with a warm rush. the in about 10 minutes it was over. The Dr called me from his office and told me that it was just a Hematoma. The blood will be reabsorbed in to my body inside of a month or so. They cam not drain it because if a vein is/was torn I could still bleed a little. ..... Well it looks like I will not be riding this year. I will now be able to put the bike up for storage. ... Sad about that but happy that I will not need surgury for a hernia...

back on the horse.

Well true believers .... My heel is still hurting, my knee is still tore up and i have now a HUGE bruise on my belly ( about the size of 2 full hands). The scrape on the hand is fine. --- I'm walking w/ a cane. I feel like the guy from the dead zone. -- Well today I took my new cycle out for a ride. It was a short ride and my knee was killing me from the position it was in. The ride got me through 3rd gear (30 mph). I'll tell you kids .... I was kinda frightened. I could picture the bike getting out from under me again. The ride was on for about a mile or so. ... I did good. If the kenn was better and I had more confidence in my leg I would have been happier. - Not too much riding in this season. I hope I heal a little faster so I can take advantage of a few more rides before winter.

Vroom Vroom pt 3

WOW -- so I picked up the bike today ... already had a crash. banged up my left leg, heel , knee and hand. I over throttled the new bike and hit a median. got thrown. Yes I had my helmet on. A good friend rode my bike home for me and I got my self patched up whenI got home. The heel got the worst of it even though the knee looks real bad. Road rash... The bike I learned on was 200 cc the new on is 750 cc so I underestameted the throttle responce.... my bad ( damn real bad). I feel like such a dumb ass, but almost every biker has laid down their bike at one time or another.
The bike got away with only a broken mirror and a bent fairing bracket. Time to get the repairs skills to a test and also time to stay off the feet for a few days. Night all.

DMV

So I go to the Secretary of State (DMV) today to make it all official and get my M class licence. I walked in at (:20 in the am (they open up at 9 am) the place is packed to the rafters with people. Jammed and lines running everywhere. Lets see.... I saw an old person trying to get her licence - cant walk , cant use left hand and blind in one eye... oh yea she has not driven in 10 years.. I feel safe now. I also saw a Nazi scum bag and his oh so proud dad - Nice. The whole ordeal too just shy of 2 hours....... That was with out driving and written test. That was just for me to have a photo taken.

Man oh man... the last few says have been very hard and great at the same time. I signed up for this motorcycle saftey class a few months ago. These classes are free by the State , but would run you between $200-400 dollars in an other state. You do have to pay $20 to hold your spot and get a nifty T-shirt at the end. (even if you don't pass). They are 20-ish hours long and include 16-ish hours of ride time. From novice to expert will lean somthing from this class. Many people take the course to avoid having to take the State test. The State test is brutal and you have to take it on your bike. Many riders that have bigger bikes can not pass the U-Turn and swerve portions of the test on their larger CC bikes. It is long and physicaly tireing. -- At the end of it you take a test both driving and written. The test is done on smaller bikes 200cc or 250 cc, but it is still very technical. WHen you do pass you simply take the completion card that the instructors give you and turn it in at the DMV. They in turn give you your licence. The Sad truth is that many many riders out their do not have motor cycle licences and are self taught. A statistic is that about 90% of those riders will get in to a crash due to lack of training (swerve and coltrolled skid). Anyways if you have the time and 3 days to spend on a very cool skill to learn - DO IT!!
