I know trust me I know. I have since wisened up on my actions. I do have to say the Marine Corps is very strict on motorcycle safety. I have completed the Basic Riders course. Now I have to take the experienced riders course and when I am done with that it is a requirement to attend the sport bike course. That is the one I am looking forward to the most. Our instructor is a certified AMA rider. He leaves next year to go race in Europe.
