That's a wonderful story. When I realized I would not be able to take the LCI course in March, or teach in this town when I do take it, I speculated when and where I could teach one day. One of my favorite ideas was to teach the course for DWIs with suspended licenses. I thought most folks will only use the bike until they get their license back, but maybe a few will use it as part of their recovery.
