Donna and I are home safe and sound in Germantown. I just wanted to take a minute and tell you what a great job you and Cliff did. I've been riding motorcycles since I was 11, that's just over 42 years. I am self-taught and today was the first training class I've ever attended. I never even had to do a skills proficiency test in January of 1976 to get my full endorsement. The OSP trooper looked at me like I was insane when I rode in on my 1976 Suzuki GT250 in the snow and ice. He asked where I'd come from (Germantown was some distance away) and then said "You made it here, you'll do alright." So that's what I've been doing ever since. From Key West to the Arctic Circle, from Maine to Old Mexico and in Italy, France, Spain, Kenya and everywhere else I can find by hook or crook. I enjoyed your instruction thoroughly, Cliff as well. The thing I was most impressed with was that when a student finally had success (or even some measure of it) you guys were genuinely happy for them. That's the mark of a teacher. This kind of riding is the first I've done but it interests me a great deal. Were you ever to find yourself in need of a cone or range man to help out I'd make the trip up to help for nothing more than a little more skill. Donna is more confident and I thank you for that as well. Very, very nice job. You should be proud.
