Funny you should mention that. I was actually in the process of signing 
up for one of the Pima weekend classes when I read your message. There's 
another organization in Tucson that provides MSF-approved classes, but 
they charge $285, and the Pima class is only $198.

By a stroke of luck, I managed to get into a class on the 17/19/20 of 
this month (it's spread out over three days). Clearly, this is a sign 
that the whole motorcycle thing is meant to be, especially considering 
that the rest of the classes are booked until October. :-)

Now, I'm supposed to wear boots to the class, and all I've got are 
tennis shoes. Where can I find some motorcycle boots around town? I've 
got work boots, but I imagine that'd make me look like one of the 
Village People, which is more or less exactly the opposite of what I'm 
going for here. TIA.

Vroom!
