Took the advanced riders course a few years back. In the group, I was the only one that
DID NOT get my motorcycle endorsement THAT year. With 25 plus years under my belt I felt
somewhat insulted. Requiring a mire 500 mile to be considered an advanced rider is ridiculous.
I did get my satisfaction however. Riding my Indian and taking my turn first on every
maneuver, every time the instructor received a complaint on how the riders bike was "too big
to do that," he would put at my bike and say, "If that bike can do it, your bike can do it.
It was raining too.
