You never know where life's road is going to take you. If you asked me four years ago if I would be a motorcycle rider the answer would have been "No", I was content being a passenger and rode on the back of my hub's bike for 28 years.
In space of six months things rapidly changed, fast forward to January 2011, and the purchase of a little 50cc scooter which led to where I am today.
My blog friends all know how passionate I am about motorcycling. I have learned so much about myself; persistence, perseverance, courage and a zest for life and adventure through this journey.
Before I left for vacation I applied to be a motorcycle instructor at a local riding school. I was successful, and I'm now a novice motorcycle instructor in training! I am excited, nervous, and even a little scared!
I will be spending the better part of the fall and winter getting ready to start teaching in the spring. I am looking forward to the challenge and mentoring new riders. I still am reeling with excitement! Wish me luck!
