Lola Rides

So the incredibly uncoordinated, accident prone Lola decided she would get her motorcycle license, as a bike was given to her for her birthday. So Lola dutifully looked up a class that would not only teach her to ride, but exempt her from the Evil RMV's Road Test. What she did not realize is that August is a horrific month in which to be riding a bike at slow speeds, with long sleeves and long pants on. This is a lesson she will not need to learn again any time soon. As Lola progressed through the class, she discovered two things: she cannot physically multitask very well, as "counterweight turning" requires, and tight U-turns on a bike are her nemesis. So much so, in fact, that she failed to do it even remotely within the box during the practice. She actually wasn't even in the box more often than not. However, due to some final epiphany and urgent praying, she managed to nail that particular maneuver in the test, thus winning the approval not only of her instructor, but applause from the class as well. But, despite her trials and tribulations, Lola did in fact pass the test, and now is street legal. She is still as yet uncertain as to whether this is good, or bad for the rest of the people on the road.
