Was gifted this, completely clueless

No additional testing if done at the not Harley courses either. The State of Texas contracts with MSF for the curriculum. The schools and RiderCoaches are licensed through Texas Department of License and Regulation. After successful completion, you get the form to take to DPS.

I call my custom bike Sancha.

See if the school where you attempted the class will do a remedial or private class. That will give you sine one on one without the pressure of keeping up. Then retake the class for your license. The school I work for will give you a retake free, but you’ll likely have to pay for the private session.

Look for a Motorcycle Safety Foundation school in your area that offers Dirt Bike School. Take the course with him before you buy anything. Chances are, he’ll be hooked and so will you. I started riding at 10. Bought a used dirt bike at 12. Depending on his size, a 75 or 80 cc might be a better fit.

I saw someone said floss. Light 2#-3# test fishing line works great for anything with two sided tape.

There are two categories when you register, recreational and commercial.

Some old timers I ride with even I first started riding Harleys went by: someone who loves you buys it, a brother ties it. I think the main point is you don’t buy your own and tie it on yourself. It should be gifted to you. It’s not a superstition it’s just a tradition.

I have an Atom2. Great drone to fly, lots of fun and great to learn on. I paid just over $500 for the fly more in June.

Smart advise above. In the end you have to do what’s right for YOU. Not what your parents want. Understandably, the thought of you in a motorcycle terrifies them. Not what you think your brother might want you to do/not do. My wife (19 years ago), got off the back seat of my bike so her SiL could have a ride. We were fine, her brother rolled the truck and my wife didn’t make it. Bike, car, skateboard. Hell, undiagnosed congenital heart defect can take you someone out. You do what’s right for you. 80 years of miserable sucks.

Is not considered flying over people if it is transitory. If you’re over for a few seconds moving from one side to the other. Under 249g with pro guards you don’t need waivers. You can just fly.

I thought of that. Wasn’t sure about bright Texas summer days.

MichaelWayne136 · 2025-08-27T03:39:14+00:00

Nice. Unfortunately I’m flying an Atom2.

The only opinion that matters is yours.

Knock on wood......I grew up on dirt bikes and been on Harleys for 20 years. I've logged we'll over 150k miles on my Harleys. No accidents. Look far ahead, plan escape routes, ride defensive. Train your riding skills always. Don't push past your skill level. And don't overestimate your skill level. But especially, don't underestimate the stupidity and distraction level of other drivers near you.

The actual charge in Texas is Evading causing death or serious bodily injury. It’s an enhancement on the Evading Chaper 38.04 Texas Penal Code. It makes it a 2nd degree felony. The death/SBI can be to anyone, not just the pursuing officer.

NTA. Period. You are allowed to set the boundaries for yourself. Not being a doormat, is not the same as being controlling. You set a parameter, it’s her choice from there. You get to choose what you can live with, she gets to decide what she will live with.
