I challenged the motorcycle road test last Tuesday, and successfully passed the test. I'm not sure if I had more faith in myself than my neighbor...? You see, my neighbor has his class 6 drivers licence, which was awfully convenient for me, we met at the end of our driveways and he proceeded to follow me into town, like a chauffeur / drivers instructor, so that I could get my bike to town to take the test. When we arrived I said to my neighbor, "I really appreciate what you did, but I will be fine from here, carry on to work and I'll talk to you tonight", he replied, "that's okay I will stay just in case you don't pass..........." I was appreciative and at the same time a little set back. I swallowed my pride, humbled myself and thought..... you're right!
It was funny...thinking back through the test, there were a few times where I said to myself - relax, drop your shoulders, loosen your grip, make yourself comfortable, be extra aware of what's around.....! Sound familiar? I find myself riding the bike with, not a cocky attitude, but with confidence. It's a weird feeling of relaxation and solitude...it's great!
Kung Fu as my way of life, brings another challenge to the fore front.
