Motorcycle Safety Course story - Woman in my class was a know-it-all. Her husband rode Harleys and she had only ridden on the back, but kept talking over the instructor and other folks in the class about all her experience. Apparently her husband bought her some sort of Harley 1200 as her first bike so she talked a big game but didn’t make any fast friends.

Once we got out of the classroom and onto the course, it was really her time to shine. Not only did she not know how to work a clutch, but she could hardly balance on her own. She proceeded to crash twice in the first hour or so, wet her pants on the second crash, and then stormed off, leaving her bike laying on the course. To this day, I wonder what the hell she did with her bike at home, I just hope she didn’t try to ride it. Eesh.

Showing up to an instructional course as a know-it-all is never a good idea. Best case, you’re insufferable; worst case, you’re insufferable and immediately humbled. Looks like your classmate picked the latter.
