I got a text from my younger son (of 2) yesterday. His fiancé went to the MA RMV website and submitted an application for a m/c learners' permit on his behalf. I was shocked. He kept putting it off because they bought a house (my late parents' home), and his fiancé had "steered" him away citing they need to concentrate funds on rehabilitating an older home in need of a lot of interior renovation.
This is a big surprise to me. I didn't think it would ever happen. I'm going to sign him up for the BRC with the Mass Rider Education Program, hopefully getting him in with one of the better instructors. Once that's scheduled I'm going to help him get his first bike. They're getting married in October so funds for a bike don't really exist, but he's such a good son that I'll take care of him. He's always liked the looks of a Bonneville, though I don't care for them and lean toward a used Street Triple. Maybe I cheap out and get an SV6fiddy. I'll find something. Just the possibility of doing a few rides with my son before I hang it up in a few years gets me excited!
