Default Progression

The wifes progression continues>

Passed the MSF course
Honda Shadow 600 the crash tester.
Honda Shadow 750 good bike but it was an underpowered Honda....
Passed the Advanced MSF
883 sportster Super Low
Long trips on the interstate were miserable for her at high speeds 70 - 80 mph
the bike was way too "buzzy" with higher sustained Rpm her hands and feet were going numb. And yes we tried bars, seats all the normal fixes. Then she rode a soft Tail....
We tried several different bikes but as she is slightly vertically challenged the only bike we could really get a good fit on was the Deluxe with a super reduced reach seat. So she just bought a new 2011 Purple and black one and I think she likes the damn thing more than me??

Everyone's worst nighmate -- a wife (or husband) with the same obsession/addiction to customized bikes!

Im lucky, my wife hates bikes and I get to be left alone. (she does not want me having a 2up seat though )
Sounds like she is moving up in the world. But lets be honest; which would YOU like better- a new deluxe or you?! Im thinking the deluxe.
Have fun, be safe.
