Erv is a friend of mine and my first riding buddy. When I had my learners permit , Erv let me test drive his Burgman 400 and I immediately liked it. So, I went out and got my own he we started riding together.
Erv also went to my MCL road test with me (NYS requires a person with a valid MCL to be with me during the test) and help me practice for the test. I passed it on the first attempt.
