So, I'm probably a hipocrite because of this, but whatever. I got bored during the summer of 2005 and took the MSF and Oregon State Motorcycle Basic Riders course. After passing I got the completion certificate transferred to my home state of Ohio from the State of Illinois. I'm now have a ``M'' endorsement on my drivers license.

I primarily have been commuting, though I have gone on short little trips every now and then. The longest of these so far has been a 200 mile loop around central Illinois. The amusing part is that I just took it out to do a short test ride after some repairs I did. I guess they worked.
