I don't see that as an issue...

what you see is what you get. ;)Go with intermediate.

The beginners group goes so slowly you'll be like Artie Johnson on Laugh-In. [laugh]

I was kidding...

I'll either do I or A depending if they let you move from one group to another.

if they won't I'll do A and just be the slow guy.

Which is fine with me. It's better than the frustration I normally experience in I with it's many riders.

Some of which clearly should be in A or B and not in I

You can move up or down with the OK of your instructor.

Typically there isn't much instruction in the A (fast) group.

B (intermediate) is just like you describe...too many riders at very varying speeds...good passing practice. ;)

C doesn't generate enough gyroscopic force for a moto to stay upright...not sure how they do it. ;D

If I were you I'd sign up in A...I'll show you one way around. [thumbsup]

it hasn't been especially hot on the days i have done and by the 2nd session after lunch at least half of the people that started are packed and headed home. either way, it def opens up. i dont' mind being in beginner after the first few sessions when they actually let you start riding.


thanks for the explaination.

It does open up at the Fishtail days too, typically a bit later.

I still think all you guys should be in B or A.

edit...

I'm going to go and try to amount to something today.

have one.

i just got more bills from my accident. that brings the grand total up to $23,714. This does not include bills from the doctor who put the plate in.

i'm sure insurance will cover a good deal, but i'm worried because I got 2 invoiced from the am,bulance company. 1 for $602 and 1 for $1150. the ins co is paying $541 for the first and $337 for the second leaving me with $890, or about 50%, to pay on my own. i'm pretty sure i chose the plan that has them paying closer to 90% of the bills.
i hope this is just because it's the ambulance co.

this also puts everything else that i was going tos pend money on this year on hold.

stupid bones, why do they have the be breakable. i want my adamantium skeleton already
