face on t o of the evergreen safety council and for those that don't know what that is and who you are please a nonprofit safety and training organization one of our main programs are motorcycle safety program which we use for training for learning how to ride a bike or to get more advanced training on riding a motorcycle your title there and the program manager for the motorcycle program and how often do you have classes we generally have classes just about every weekend so for even on holidays we do so because some people want to take  you say doing the wrong thing and continue the wrong things what does that typically and tail think could be many things not knowing how to take a quarter properly breaking well in a corner and incorrect spots  not understanding the dynamics of the motorcycle when you're writing and stuff when you're doing something wrong in your writing i personally as i'm as i'm driving around i see more often that those writing crotch rockets as they're called compared to say like a harley have a tendency to do some grandstanding or beating the speed every once well we see those types in our class and we try to change the mentality truck and you need to know what to do your own protection is what the mind is between your ears and what you're thinking you're learning all right well thank you again monday and check out more of the show here typical motorcycle lots of vehicles have been in business for more than a hundred years they originally created a pretty well around to get around the tax laws in england and the timing was taxing for real cars because cars was kind of a new thing in england at the time they're taxing it really high sort of a luxury tax endorsement motorcycle endorsement you don't take a class or anything like that and you don't have to wear a helmet because that's during willing to stand against the rules if you straddle it you have to wear a helmet you know straddle and you don't have to fly about the same so i of
