MMI- Week 3 DONE!

Well the first class, Theory 1, is done. We took the final for it tonight and I got a 96 on it. I missed 2 questions. One was reader error. The other, well, I contest the results of this one. I'm not trying to say the instructor was wrong I'm saying the question wasn't worded properly on the test to get the answer they say was right. I don't have a copy of the test so I can't retype it...and I don't have the patience to try and explain it all but its pointless anyway. It won't change my score, just make me feel better complaining about it. Much like everything else in life, even when they're wrong they're right because they're in charge.

Back to the point of the post. The class is done. I got a 96 on the test and finished out the class with a 96 AND perfect attendance. Not one minute late. That doesn't sound that hard but you'd be surprised how many couldn't seem to pull that off.

After finishing the test and getting our grades, and kicking out a few that couldn't pass Theory 1, we started in on a little of the Theory 2 class since we finished early and had some time to kill. Works for me.....I hate sitting around with nothing to do.

Transmissions are the first mission in Theory 2 and just kind of brushed on em lightly tonight. We hit on some basics of the gears and how they link up to each other. We also hit a little bit on the power flow of an indirect drive transmission. I think I'll be OK on this section. Motorcycle transmissions are a little different from car ones, well at least I think they are. I'm not a transmission expert for cars or anything. Hell I know the VERY basics of them but I'm not going to school for those.

For now its MILLER TIME! More like Bacardi but that doesn't sound as good when you say it.

Until next week..............
