Getting a motorcycle license

On a normal circumstances, I would have been fuming but this are weird and dangerous times. Precautions taken is as much as for their safety as that of the participants. I understand that. Next date is in mid June. Lets hope we can get this done.  Until then, stay safe.

I was very close to purchasing a 2019 model but then the virus hit. And like all good plans, it was put on hold.  Then I saw an advertisement for a second hand bobber for sale. Low milage. Kept in good condition. Lots of add ons and including crash bars and pannier bars and bags. And the pr...
