Motivation

I did the math today and realized that, thanks to the mandatory grading curve, only 6-10 people in my Criminal Law class will receive an A. Another 20 or so will get Bs. The rest will fall out somewhere below that. I can’t help but think this fact is slightly demoralizing for a group of students who is used to always being at the top of their class.

I think I’ll put this “poster” on my laptop as motivation for my final week of studying. What, after all, is the worst that can happen?

For more motorcycle-related posters courtesy of the Southern Pennsylvania BMW Riders, read on. 

(Please note that normally, I’d just link you to the pictures on their Web site. In this case, I did some substantial Photoshopping to correct bad grammar and take out random references that made no sense.)

Comments:

I saw some of the pros doing moves like this last weekend down in Huntington Beach at the US Surf Open.  They weren’t that far away from their bike, but I saw a few of them completely let go and manage to get back on the bike for a safe landing.

Good luck studying!
