Wife's new bike
« on: May 10, 2010, 05:58:35 PM »
My wife Cindy took the motorcycle safety course about a month ago and then got her license.  Friday we bought her a 2006 Sportster 1200Low.  I'm really proud of her as she is doing really well riding.  She is still a little nervous, but I told it's about seat time, experience and getting comfortable with her own abilities.  She is having a blast though.

Congrats on the new ride Cindy.

My wife would tell you to plan a three or four day trip with all the daylight hours in the saddle and you'll come back a different (more confident) rider. :2vrolijk_21:

Nicely done!    Just rode back from a week at Surfside Beach following my bride on her RK.  She went the same route your wife did by taking the course and buying a Sportster for her first bike.  13 years later we're enjoying the heck out of riding together.

GodSpeed on a safe journey for the both of you.

That's pretty much the plan for us.  We live in a small town (1500 people) so right now it's just riding around town and once in awhile out on the highway.  Next weekend we plan on going on a bit longer ride on the highway from small town to small town, but staying away from the larger city in our area.

It's funny you say that.  She said to me that she never sees herself getting a bigger bike.  I laughed and told her you say that now, because I did, but after awhile you'll want a bigger bike.

Good advice staying away from the heavy traffic until handling the scooter becomes a lot more familiar 'cause you know how fast stuff happens!  :o Congrats and ride safe.  :2vrolijk_21: spyder

Congratulations!!!! Now it begins. My wife started on a Buell Blast. Within two months ordered her 883 Hugger. Then on to a Deuce and now on a CVO Springer! She is my best riding Bud. Also helps keep the squawking down when I make the inevitable changes to my ride. Of course then she wants to make the same changes to hers. Good Luck and ride safe.

Congrats to your wife Cindy!! I too started on a Sporty and loved it. I never thought I would get a bigger bike, but 13,000 miles later I sat on a streetglide and fell in love with it. Riding together is the best...Hope you enjoy many miles together!
