Default It's too heavy

Wow..... I let a very nice young lady test ride an '08 Nightster today.... She had just finished the STAR riding course (very good course, not knocking it). She stalled the bike on take-off.... No big deal.... Then she rode around our lot a few times.... Pulled into the staging point... . Slammed on the brakes..... Kept her feet on the pegs and started to dump to the right... WHOA! WTF?!? I ran over and grabbed whatever I could get a hold of (part of my grip was on her azz...not intentional I swear I said, "PUT YOUR FEET DOWN!".... And she did.... finally.... Centimeters from scraping the lower pipe... Wow.... Then with a big smile on her face she says.... And I quote...... "It's too heavy"

Next time grab her by the hair and yank n spank her real hard.

I learned that from my first wife.....Whenever she kicked my bike over she was demanding I do that.

I can't explain it.....It's a female thang.....AllI know is they insist on it.

HDK I worry about you.
BTW, there is a difference between finishing STARS and passing STARS.
Tell her to hit the gym to build her upper body strength, she'll be riding a Sporty like a pro in no time!
