	Geez, another dirtbiker on the net. I was beginning to feel
lonely!
	I remember that after riding dirt bikes for 7 years, I decided
to get a drivers license for motorcycles. (Just for getting up the
road to the next trail, of course.) Aside from the fact that the test
itself was a BIG joke, the clincher was that at the last stop sign on the 
"course" I stopped for about 3 seconds without putting my feet down.
Big deal - I did it all the time off road. But, I failed the test
because the cop said I didn't stop completely. He said it was
impossible to stop without putting your feet on the ground. I offered
to demonstrate that it was possible. He declined. The next week I went
back and played the game their way and passed (same a-hole cop, too).
