Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

We can teach you online  :rofl:  :rofl:

I remember doing the motorcycle course and how we spent the 1st day without even starting the bikes, 2 people per bike with 1 pushing, other riding... get the wife to push you & we'll tell you what to do  :rofl: 

Actually good friend of mine ran the course here in Ottawa for the past 15yrs or so... could get a write up from him for you if you want?

Just start in a big empty spot and practice your clutch or kill switch so you don't share the lady above's fate. With the written test you can ride as much as you want with a licensed rider if you have one available. Hopefully they are still doing tests when the time comes.

Oh that's easy to remove.

Just twist the throttle wide open...and dump the clutch.

Will flip so fast that fender extension will be off in no time!!   :rofl: :rofl2:

Try it if you don't believe me!   :rofl: :rofl2:

I've seen enough videos on the natural method of fender removal, I'm gonna be an old fashioned hippie and use a ratchet and wrench lol
