I am a very lucky very fortunate person that's is super grateful for everything truly!

Now that is said. Motorcycle season is just around the corner. YES! and I teach Motorcycle safety there for any shop time or other time is taken up by that. Which is great minus this year extra training puts me in Texas and other training I am booked up solid in March and feeling no room to breath adn not use to such a harsh toss back into the season. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and sad before I need to be and that is very rare if at all feelings I have.... so they are a bit of a shock.

My guess is that IAP and the ideas from you all my ever growing list of wanting to do this make that and sooo on is a big part of feeling so hard hit in not wanting to transition.

Thanks for the vent and I add a picture to give visual of my feeling.

Sometimes you just "gotta do what you gotta do."

But, remember, the IAP will still be there when you're through...along with new ideas, new techniques and new "stuff" in general...something to look forward to at the end of the tunnel.

Keep the faith, and you'll pull through okay!
 
Safty as in "what not to do on a bike" and "how to ride safe with the people on the road that dont think bikes are on the road".
I never took a class. I should have but I have a dirt bike as a kid for 5 years so I knew how to ride. It was the idiots I road with that was the problem. Me included in that statement. A lot of the guys were the ones you see on the highway for a quick second and say "they are going to get killed"
Out of 12 of us that started the season that year I think all but 2 went down. I knew all the right things but when I was with buddies most of us wanted to out do the others. We all lived but we did have the following injuries broken collar bone, broken arm, dislocated shoulder, broken neck and alot of road rash. 1 guy could have been decapitated. He slid out on sand going around a corner and went between a telephone pole and the support wire but walked away with road rash and a limp if I remember correctly.
My biggest problem was I lost respect for the bike. If you dont respect the machine you really should stop riding.

Just thing about it like this. You are a saving people like me from are self.
 
Karen - Do you teach MSF classes? I don't know what they pay instructors, but the work you do is priceless. I have many friends who have taken the basic rider course, and I've taken the ERC a couple times. It's excellent and life-saving instruction!
 
YOU ALL ROCK!!! THANK YOU MUCH FOR THE GREAT REMINDER!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus You all just plain made me feel good. I forget that part sometimes.!!!!! YES THE MSF CLASS Is great and is what I teach.

About what instructors get paid. Well doing something you love is priceless so we get paid very well. Truly I have offered to work for free. However the $$ gets Pen Blanks and Tools!!! so that part is great!!!!!!

Thank you much for the upbeat feel good of everything I needed it it is very very rare for me to feel overwhelmed. I love busy busy busy never idle!

Oh yes with your great attitude and skill set I would ride with you any day!:cool:
 
Great to have a teacher that loves their work. All types of safty training is tops. Even if you don't have time to turn you can still drop in and talk to the other turners when time permits. Keep on turning and posting.
