Now, even though I had been around bikes my whole life I still learned a few key items. You also get an insurance discount once you receive your certificate. I am not sure if NJ offers something like that but I think it would be a great investment for your g/f. I had the unfortunate luck of watching someone wreck on my bike at 90mph. Most of his skin was gone but the helmet saved his life so i REALLY feel for you and what you saw. Its good so hear things did not end worse. |
She is signed up for the MSF course, but neither of us could wait that long to get out there and ride. The enthusiasm overrode the responsible side on both our parts. But being the experienced one, I should have known better.
Once we are both happily riding again this summer, this will be a memory. Hopefully, she will not be feeling the ill effects of her whiplash by then.
