> Dear Jim;
>
> I wanted to follow-up on the Rider's Edge class with a sincere note of
> thanks to both you and Steve as well as the folks at the Ray Price
> dealership for your help, concern, expertise and the professional,
> responsible manner in  teaching this class. It was a job well done, well
> worth the expense and surpassed my expectations.
>
> My knowledge of what it takes to operate a motorcycle and ride the
> machine safely has been qualified, quantified and enhanced greatly. I
> now feel that i can make an objective assessment of my own ability to
> own and operate a motorcycle safely. I also believe the course has
> increased my awareness and enhanced my automobile driving skills.
>
> I would recommend the course wholeheartedly to anyone with even the
> slightest interest to ride and am a true believer that the course should
> be mandatory in the achievement of a motorcycle endorsement in all 50
> states. I would urge you to use your influence and the backing of the
> Ray Price name to lobby towards this goal.
>
> On a personal note, I want you to know that I appreciate the efforts of
> both you and Steve to concentrate on, improve and realize the full
> potential of my ability rather that to focus on my disability. I had
> forgotten the empowerment of that feeling and the course reminded me.
> There is an old adage that 'Shame does not lie in failure, it lies in
> not trying'. I do not feel overconfident in my ability but i do have a
> rediscovered positive attitude after the course.
>
> At present I do feel that I will purchase a motorcycle in the near
> future. I want to do a lot of research and concentrate on the different
> braking systems and right foot set-ups. I hope i will be able to come
> back to you later with a few choices and get your input recommendations.
>
> Thank you again.
> Please forward this note to Steve and the Ray Price family with my
> thanks.
