Title: My other obsession
Post by: soera on August 26, 2012, 07:12:12 pm: I dont talk about it much since it is a gaming forum but I have something I love probably more than my games and its my Harley. I just finished painting the motor this morning and got her out for pics. 1999 Harley 883C with 15,200 miles.

It's an AMF Roadmaster moped. It was built in 1980, when AMF owned Harley-Davidson, thereby technically making it a Harley.

Super-cute! Makes me think of a BMX / Vespa hybrid from the '80s.

Beautiful bike!

My friend has a sweet, classic, old-looking "Hogan's Heroes" kind of bike w/ a 'suicide-shift'...love that one, too.

That's my plan. Hopefully next summer I'll be able to do it. I've been looking into it for awhile now, and I just found out you can ride with folks who have their endorsment already, as long as you have applied for your learners permit. (win)

Post by: soera on August 28, 2012, 05:35:29 pm: Get your endorsement asap. Buy the cheap little manual and read it over a few times. Take the written (probably fail the first time cause some of the stuff is weird) and then read it over again and take it again. If its like Oklahoma, you dont pay til you get your license so keep at it til you get it. Once you pass the written, the driving part is pretty easy (especially if you have already been riding like I was ... 3 years before I got mine).
