This is very true, when I was younger and dumber I was a meter maid for a town on the coast. I was the only person in 10 years to crash the 50cc moped. I was doing wheelies and a guy in pickup stopped in front of me and I went under the truck. That was fun to explain.
Take the course I took the brc in april with my wife even though I had my lisence already. Everyone can learn something, and it was fun. After you take the class, find a big parking lot and practice at night/or when its empty. With practice and some common sense you can ride any bike.
