Well, I’m happy to say I just did a search for Bonny Oaks School and at least Google has the post indexed on the first page for now so maybe some of the kids will find me if they think to do a search. So now I think I’ll just chit chat for awhile before I nod off for the night. I remember them as kids, but of course they would be mature adults, but my mind didn’t grasp that yet.

It was so muggy today, but it’s a little cooler now with a breeze blowing and we’re suppose to get some showers. I can hear my bamboo chimes hitting together. I had them on the front porch and Bill said when he would hear them that it reminded him of Vietnam so I got a different one for the front porch and brought my bamboo upstairs, so he doesn’t hear them as much.

My brother came over tonight and I cut his hair while Bill worked on the Bike. He seldom ever lets me buy him anything, but I knew he wanted the back off light module for his bike so I finally got to buy him something. It flashes 3 times pauses and flashes 3 more times as long as you have the brakes on. People have a way of over looking motorcycles so anything that can get their attention is good. I love that air horn we put on last year, that really comes in handy.

I thought people were bad about overlooking a big Harley, but it seems they don’t see a small scooter at all. I was riding it in the fairgrounds so I can get use to it and I was puttin along and some stupid truck didn’t even see me and he was suppose to stop because I had the right away, but he just came straight on out and I could have easily have panicked and ran right into him.

It really shook me up and made me realize how inconsiderate drivers really are especially if they don’t ride a bike themselves. People that ride tend to be more alert for others that share the road. I need a lot more practise before I want to take a road trip with Bill. I followed him around the fairgrounds to get the feel of where my position would be and how I would feel following behind.

He tends to stop where he doesn’t need to, maybe he thought he was giving me more practise at stopping, but I wasn’t expecting it because we were on the main strip an didn’t need to stop so I got confused at what the devil he was doing. He’s lucky I didn’t back end him, of course I’m chuckling now, but this was after I had almost collided with that truck and my nerves were a little frayed.

When I get more comfortable with this I want to trade it in on a 150 cc because I can already tell I want more power. I took the practise test online for the motorcycle permit and got 23 out of 25 so I did really well on the practise. It was mostly common sense questions, but they word them weird. The guy we bought the scooter from said everyone fails the test the first time so I guess we’ll see how good I do when I take the real one.

After I get the permit and a bigger scooter I can then go anywhere and wont be limited to just around town. I can ride the highways and freeways then. I really trust Bill and he’s a very safe and cautious biker, but it feels pretty good being able to go on your own power. Of course he would no doubt worry more especially if he wasn’t around. Okay that’s enough chit chat…Goodnight
