You just gotta get that "s" out of there for the https part. This software is so old, nobody had secured a website when the Youtube plugin was added!

Drop the first "s". It's a technical issue; the software for this BBS cannot handle included secure references. Just change it to http: instead of https:

I'll insert it below like this:

Tried out a dirt bike before deciding to go for my license, and it was quite different from the Harley type I had the chance to play around on in 2015. Wasn't quite my thing.

Here we are again. This weekend, my daughter took the same class my son took four years ago. At 8 a.m. she had never ridden a motorcycle before, and within an hour all the students were riding slow laps around the parking lot. She spent a total of twelve hours on the bike and another twelve in the classroom. She passed the driving portion of the test on Sunday, and now has a motorcycle permit. We don't have a motorcycle for her yet and she's trying to decide between a motorcycle and a scooter.

My daughter, who was 10 years old when this thread was created, got her motorcycle's license last year and her driver's license today.

Bump for updates?
