OMG I rode a Harley.

I love those words and that feeling. Every time I climb on my bike I still feel that little surge of exhileration.

Congrats on the course and the first safe ride. May you have many more and may you never lose that sense of excitement.

Wolf, makes ya wonder if they thought we (riders) would feel like this today when the first HD came rolling off the lines so many years ago.

[sm=happy046.gif] I took the safe rider course this weekend. At 7:30 Saturday morning I had never ridden a bike, I did 5 hours on a Yamaha 250. I got home that afternoon and took my new Sporty 883 low for a ride!!! Now granted, it was only over to Mom's and Hubby was behind me on his bike watching my back but I DID IT. It's about 6 miles each way to Mom's but it's pretty curvy roads and several turns. I'm so excited and still really nervous and scared to death but OMG I rode a Harley. I did another 5 hours on the Yamaha on Sunday and at the end of the day I actually had my endorsement.
Smart Lady...Congratulations...Practice, practice, practice...
You will always be learning. I know I am after 35 years on bikes...

Been learning to ride a little over a week myself. Did my first 50+ mile ride this weekend. Was fantastic. I hope for many more years of "Learning to Ride".

Congrats to you!!
