but only if we're all for REAL !  

Spidey, don't know how to break this to you man.  But I'm not real either.  Just a fignewton of your imagination.  Actually no one here sees me but you man.  Really.  No chit.  Ask  any of the folks that saw us in the same place at the same time at Maggie Valley.  They'll tell you I wasn't really there.



(and to beat a few to the punch: "or they'll tell you they wished I wasn't really there   !)

Gentlemen,

I hope that all of you got in some riding and didn't spend the whole day on the computer.  It was a gorgeous riding day!

I went with a friend to the grocery store.  I kept pointing out every Harley.  "There's one."  "Oh look!  A Fatboy!"  "An 883...isn't that a girl's bike?"  "I wish I could ride on the road."  "How much longer do you think it will take me to learn?"

She asked if we could talk about something else other than bikes.  I thought she was going to pop me one, lol.

I told her she's just jealous because she doesn't have a rod to ride....tee, hee!

I practiced riding the V-Rod today.  I call it "Riding The Rod."  

Things went well so long as I stayed in 1st gear and traveling in a straight line, lol.

Sonzabitches! More of this BHG is a fraud crap!   [smiley=soapbox.gif]

Why do you think I gave you the MySpace link??  There's a ton of pics on there and personal info.  My goodness.

Cyber bitch slap for those who doubt.

Dear Helen,

Men are visual creatures, they just have difficulty functioning otherwise, lol.

As usual, it's a sensible woman who speaks reason.

Thank you for believing in me, Julia

Hi,

The slow speed training has been going on for two weeks, of course owning a business has interferred with practice.  I've had five lessons.  A guy friend (who isn't the best teacher) is teaching me.

I don't understand the purpose of both a hand and foot brake.  I primarily use the hand brake, and then aaply the foot brake when I'm ready to make a complete stop.

I am comfortable riding in a subdivision.....down the street, turning in cul-de-sacs, but turning right is difficult.  It feels like placing the wrong shoe on the wrong foot.  Any reason for this??

I don't yet understand RPMs and how that helps you know when to shift.

All will become much clearer during the MSF class I'm sure.  Dec. 8 - 10 I take the class.

I'm progressing as it feels comfortable at this point.

Considering my business affecting my practice schedule I doubt I'll hit the streets before my motorcycle class.   [smiley=nervous.gif]
 
Lol, you are funny!  I agree it would be worth a photo of newbies on one cylinder Buells all lined up side by side on a marked course with a V-Rod prepared to launch from the middle.  Honda dealer won't let me bring Dirk.  I have to learn on a Buell.  Oh, the injustice!

Thank you for taking the time to ask me about my progress.

P.S.  (No one will offend me with colorful remarks....I don't offend easy).

Sincerely, Julia

BHG,  the best thing to prepare for your motorcycle course is to forget everything everyone has told you. Go into the class with an open mind and listen to what the instructor tells you. I went with my wife for her course and she scored highest in the class. I had been riding for 30 years and she beat me [smiley=nixweiss.gif]. Any way they will teach you the correct way to ride  and how to become cooridinated on the bike. Then go buy you some cones, find a big parking lot, and practice practice practice. In no time you will get the correct feel of it.
Good luck in your class [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

That right there is the best information that has been given so far!!!! There are a lot of us with a lot of riding experience under our belts, but most of us didn't take a MSF course to learn how to ride. I would imagine the majority of us learned how to ride in a field/parking lot/etc. on someone else

This is a topic I know very well learning to ride and not listening to anyone else but the instructer.

I have never hurt myself or the bike but have droped the Fat Boy three times once moving.
