Jenn and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance



This weekend I learned how to ride a motorcycle! The Harley Davidson people tried to make me drink their Kool Aid along the way, but I am pretty sure that the independence afforded a person by riding a motorcycle should encourage people toward any type of Kool Aid they like, so I am not sold on the Harley brand just yet. I am tired and sore from learning to ride, but I have always thought those are good things to be. I can't wait to see the world in a whole new way. There have been some bumps along the way though. First, I was so busy thinking about what it would be like to ride the road I was on with a motorcycle on the way to class one day that I missed my exit. And then I earned my "Most Moto-Acrobatic" award by doing a pop wheelie and staying on- not on purpose of course. Also, as you can tell, helmets give me terrible hat hair. Another funny thing happened this week- something I can honestly say I thought would never happen. ALL of my friends gave me the exact same advice about PBF/NMB. When the stars alignment like that, the tide changes. For now, that means I will wait and see about the guy, and the rest I will figure out along the way. Hopefully, the road along the way will be ridden by whatever Kool Aid flavored bike I decide on.
