"I'm Amazed By"

[vwboomer]

I'm amazed by the number of people driving their cars picking their nose. During the day.

[Triple J]

I'm amazed by the number of people that buy celebrity magazines (i.e. People, US Weekly, etc).  This includes my wife. 

[SacDuc]

I'm amazed at the amount of force/damage/mistreatment the human body can take and not die.

Now hold my beer and watch this . . .

I would also but I can't with my Helmet on 

That's why the faceshield lifts up on many models.  Also, reason for fingerless gloves.

[Super T.I.B]

I'm amazed by the size of Camel Spiders.

I'm amazed at how many retards and idiots take the MSF class.  That's what God made CONVERTIBLES for - you stupid ass people that can't figure out where the seat is on a motorcycle.

What?  There has got to be a good story behind this one.  Give.

We (in our area; mid atlantic) have gone from a 95%+ pass rating to now only a 55-60% pass rating.  We are getting TONS of people that are taking the class because they say:
1. gas is expensive
2. my boyfriend (girlfriend) says I should take it
3. i'm only going to go around town (umm, yeah, right)
4. i want a beginner bike - a gsxr 600 (that was last night from a gal who has NEVER rode on a bike - ever!!)
5. well, the rest of my family rides, I guess I should too....
6. and the best - the guy that failed twice (drove 150 miles to fail twice) -he drove a stunning yellow corvette - an automatic corvette.  He thought the bike was an automatic, too. 

I could go on and on.  I should say we get a lot of great riders, too.  Some are amazing and pick up the skills quickly.  Others are like, well, as we say "a monkey F#$%&*ing a football".  I'm surprised they can even drive a car, and I pray they leave the range before I do. 

But the economy tanking is driving many to look for cheaper modes of transportation.  They think riding a bike is "easy" - they show up with a chip on their shoulder, thinking we should just hand them their certificate.  Well, when they drop the bike during a static exercise (not moving) or t-bone another student because they forgot to take their cell phone out of their jacket pocket and it rang and it scared the s@#$t out of them - I get pretty cranky.

Heck, had one two weeks ago that flat refused to use the clutch for anything.  Upshifting.  Downshifting.  Coming to a stop.  None of it. 

I will say I love being an instructor.  I've met some amazing people, some i'll never forget because of their wit, charm, smile, etc.  Others because of their bad (or good) driving.  Some of them even become instructors with me (us).  That's cool.    If you've never been a MSF instructor (on my 6th year now) you don't know the entertainment your missing.  LOL
