Intermediate Skills Practice II (Skills Practice on YOUR motorcycle / Scooter*)

Congratulations! If you made it this far you have acquired your own motorcycle or scooter. Are you wondering how does what you learned on the training bikes relate to what you now have to do when you ride around town, or on those trips/getaways you have been planning?
