I've been going back and forth between this and the 500 ever since I did everything I needed to do to make the Army happy about me riding a bike. Every time I think I've made up my mind I change it...

Just a quick update. I'm still waiting to sell the truck which should happen by the end of the month, which will actually be pretty good timing since I should find out whether I'm going to deploy or...

I would probably take it as soon as i can. The BRC was helpful and i was feeling pretty comfortable with the basics. So i don'tsee why i should wait to long to take the ERC. It can only help me out.

I'm glad they don't do that. Being in the military I'm required to have the course before I can ride on the street. When I went to the BRC all I knew about bikes was where the controls are located. I...

While I don't yet have a bike (hoping to have that fixed in the next couple months), I was trying to map out what would be a fun Dual Sport ride. I'm pretty certain that this won't be happening...
