what i did today

after my book work was done, of course:



I passed my written motorcycle learner's permit thingy -- it's a M1 license. It entitles me to drive undrunk [duh], without a passenger [sorry, denny], not on highways [also duh] and during daylight hours. I then have to take two road tests, over two years, until I have my full motorcycle license.

In Ontario [I learned all this since Friday], a scooter 50cc or less requires something called an LSM license [Low-Speed Motorcycle]. My scooter is 150cc, and therefore qualifies as a motorcycle and requires different testing. Oddly, I can take my road tests on my scooter, never learn to shift gears with my feet or have to bother with a clutch, and still eventually have a license to drive a motorcycle.

Which I will never do. So it's moot.

Insurance paperwork gets done tomorrow. I pick her up on Wednesday. Plotzing? You bet.

I have motorcycle license and don't know how to ride one too! Isn't that crazy?

You are going to love your Vespa! The only downer is that you can't knit and ride at the same time.

Thanks for the link a while back to the Devil's Workshop. My fiance and I had no clue what we were going to do about our wedding bands. Every few months we'd have this conversation:
"we need to figure out these wedding bands"
"yep, we really do"
"any ideas?"
"er... no. You?"
"no..."
Anyway, my craftiness is rubbing off on him, so we're both really jazzed about the idea of making our own wedding bands. We booked a sesion with the Devil's Workshop. We'd still have no idea what to do about it without the referral! Thanks!

whee! I've been thinking about doing this myself for a while. And a dedication to Grandma, so nice I'm sure she would be happy for you and proud! (I know I am!)

Congrats! You'll have a wonderful time riding your Vespa! :) I have a motorcycle license but didn't have to go through the testing you did. In Texas, you just take a weekend course that includes the road test and then you take the written part of the test at the DPS. Have a great time on Wednesday and enjoy every minute of it!
