I finished Motorcycle school today,

I finished Motorcycle school today, and ... I passed the tests! Only one student scrubbed out today - a tall stockbroker who owns a Triumph racing bike (the same as in Mission Impossible 2), and a really cool Arai helmet. During the stopping portion of the skill test, though, he hit the brakes too hard, skidded, and dropped the bike. Seven of us were left - when the test was over, our instructor Phil walked over to us. Phil's a short, peppery Freemason, retired lawyer, and Harley tourer. 'I've got good news and bad news for you', he said, shaking his head. 'The bad news is that we're gonna give all you bastards licences!'
