The wife got my M2 when I bought my '25, and wants to ride. Today was lesson number one.
She's a fast learner,had NO idea how to use a clutch,never drove even a standard car. One drop, not bad damage...
Just to prove she's one of us now...

Did you tell her what that means? Well since you see the back of the hand, and the fingers are spread, it can only mean one thing!

Oh, sure... I knew that... What I meant to say is she sure she wants to be associated with us. |

Way cool. She'll be ruined as a passenger for life now but she'll have so much more fun riding her own bike. Your adventures together will be so much greater now too. The reason I say 'ruined as a passenger' is because those who ride make crappy passengers. Once you learn to control a bike it's hard to give up that control to the person up front |

There are always exceptions. To wit: You've obviously never seen me & my wife riding 2-up -- we are as one through the twisties. She's put thousands of miles on an S1. That makes her an excellent passenger. |

I know there are exceptions. Ferris and denise come to mind. I'm just talking in general. With a little exaggerated humor thrown in as usual |

One of the best days of my riding history is when my wife decided to learn to ride herself. Keep it safe! |

NOW you've done it! If she's out riding all the time how in the world is she going to keep all that grass mowed? She'll say "honey, since your mowing anyway, I'll just take your bike" I don't know her, but I'm proud of her. I stay in trouble for running off and leaving my wife, when she's on the Blast and me on the M2. You may have the same problem. Probably always gonna be in trouble for something anyway. |

DEFINATE on the MSF Rider course..just not likely this season. They are booked full, and I would say there is little to no chance she will see street riding this year. We live near Cap City, NY and riding season is short. I just want to let her get "bitten by the bug" for this year.(plus this way, I may be able to spend more $$$ on farkle over the winter) |
