Fatty on a Motorcycle - Rant I’m applying for a motorcycle learners permit in Australia (Victoria) and to do so you must sit a 2 day course of theory and practical components. Our class was small, only 5 people, scratch that. Only 4 people and a 300kg (661 pound), um, male?. Anywho, he’d been riding for 60 years he tell us. He started at age 13 and is now 70. You do the math (because mine didn’t add up). But you would have never known it by looking at him ride. He was as wide as the motorcycle is long and was completely unable to stop telling his long rambling stories to listen to SAFETY instructions. Things like “if you’re in the left hand turning lane turn left and if you’re in the right hand turning lane turn right.” He would often turn right from the left hand turning lane and vice versa, he would stall and would not follow the course that the instructor had laid out with cones. TL:DR Fatty has been riding a motorcycle for over twice as long as I’ve been alive and is still as bad as an armature and  doesn’t listen to safety instructions.
