Yep that was me on outlaw.
I have 3 times in the last 20 years had a motorcycle permit but I only tried the MVD test once. I did it 20 years ago when I first started riding on my second bike a '
Honda Shadow 1100. The test was very tight and well, I failed. I have had test anxiety ever since. I have ridden so many different bikes in some very tight spots and even raced them but, I have been an outlaw since then. I have grown sick of it. I was doing something I was against in so many ways. I like to think I am a pretty good rider and had read the MSF materials more than once and I am constantly reading about riding strategies and on and on. I believe in safety. So I ponied up the $271 to the local Harley shop and took their Rider's Edge Course sanctioned by the MSF. I completed it yesterday with a perfect score on the riding test and a 97.5% on the written. I also received the "Picture Perfect Riding Posture" award. The riding portion was very easy but I still learned a lot about bad habits I have and insight into many other things. I know have the bike I always have wanted and an actual license to ride it. I am totally stoked I finished at the MVD this morning and got the plates for the Vespa and my new endorsed license. I am now a full fledged hardcore scooterist.
To sum it up if you are riding illegally because of the testing required or whatever take the course you won't regret it!
The riding course was my vacation for this summer but I'm glad I did it.
