Default PICS - New pipes and the wifes bike
My favorite truck came by today. UPS. Got the Big Radius on my Dynamite... And a pic of my wifes 1986 Honda Rebel. Teaching her how to ride. She's never riden before and never learned a clutch. She's had it two weeks and so far, and can pull out without killing it. This weekend, we progress to shifting into 2nd.







The 86 Rebel... this thing is fun to ride. Only like 300 lbs. I can pick up the rear end and move it when I need to make room in the garage. Perfect for my girl who's never riden before and is easily scared.

Big Radius seem to have been made just for Dynas. They just look awesome. Congrats. Wish your wife good luck. Great to see another woman learning to ride.
