Message: <blockquote data-quote="swampratt" data-source="post: 3795860" data-attributes="member: 15054">My son took a course put on by OSU in OKC when he was 16.Many people there who never rode a motorcycle.A 45ish couple bought 2 new Harley motorcycles. of course you train on their small 125cc then.I think it was 125cc.Anyway the wife did not pass.One big burly dude in his mid 20's followed directions too well in the slow course.Slow as you can go between cones  and the instructor said keep your feet on the pegs do not put your foot down.Well big dude was tipping over and did not put a foot down and tipped the bike over on himself.He failed.I was there for the "graduation ceremony" and my son got the highest grade in the class.Proud dad.But he rode a 50cc scooter off road and a go cart I built and 2 very dangerous mini bikes I built.I had adults ride those 5HP Briggs I built and some only rode 1 time and had one guy go 100 yards and get off and push it back to me and told his son he did not get to ride it ever!My wife learned to ride in a field and it was a 400 Yamaha street bike.That was her first vehicle.Mine was a TC 90 suzuki I paid $7.50 for it and 3 basket case bikes.Got the TC running and busted some ribs and learned how to fall.Friend had Hodaka's and we went fast off road and had a course set up.wrecked often running the course and rule was get to the bike before it dies and get back on and finish out.Fun times.Another rule we had was if someone gets hurt you must laugh at them because that crash had to be funny.We will get you to the hospital if you need it  but we will be laughing on the way.Simple rule. Not many went riding with us more than 1 time.</blockquote>
