Basic Riding Course

Bear On A Bike

Guess What! I’m taking a basic riding safety course next week. I took a motorcycle riding course when I was in the military, it was required to drive on the base, but that was many years ago. Time to freshen my knowledge and work on some driving skills.

I’m looking forward to it. It’s local, and one of my coworkers is an instructor there.

I’ll keep you posted. My hope is I don’t remind everyone of the bear picture above. Yes, I know it’s unavoidable…us horizontally challenged guys on bikes immediately bring to mind these types of images.

What I really need to do is not give a damn what people may or may not think and just enjoy the heck out of it.

Enjoy!

Black Bears

American Black Bear

Very cool, and also the recent focus of my leisure reading. Why is a long and not terribly interesting story that involves the Ted Andrews book, Animal-Speak.

Did you know, for example, that bears have a terrific sense of smell? Better than most mammals.

Enjoy!
