OL taking road test today
I'm proud of her. She took the course in the rain over two weekend of on / off rain in October. Now she's ten minutes from the road test. She's on the course's Yamaha virago 250.
Crap that bike is small.
So I'll wait at the green coffee shop and await the results.
Harley number two...Harley number two...Harley number two...Harley number two...

Nice!! I wish my Fiance would take more than a passing interest in motorcycles. Her personal experience with them so far has been negative. She was sitting on a used Dyna at the dealership and went to lean it back over on the sidestand. It was that moment I heard the metallic clank of the spring loaded sidestand RETRACTING! Before I could react, she was down. Luckily it was a slow drop and it just grazed her leg on the way down. She was physically OK, the bike was OK, her pride....not so OK. We left shortly after. She hasn't returned since. We can laugh about it now, but whenever I bring up the topic of her maybe getting a bike...she changes the subject.

Well she said it was just in case I couldn't ride for some reason. (initially). Now its back n forth to work (talk). Well see how it all plays out. I'm thinking switchback or fat bob.
Maybe she'll be on the forums soon.

Do yourself a favor, let her pick out the bike. But offer advice. Like buy something used and smaller initially. You nor her would be very happy if she dropped a $15k motorcycle, but if it was a used $4k bike the pain would be a lot less. Just remember, she's riding it, not you. My wife started on an 800 Suzuki Intruder, then moved to an 800 Kawasaki Drifter then finally a 1200 Sportster. The fun wore off and now she rides on the back of my 2011 RKC, her choice, not mine.

Good luck to her. It gives them a lot more confidence when they take thhe course. They are also a hell of a lot more scared when on the back seat because they realize what is going on up front. A lot more than waving at kids and flashing ****!! Remind her to post tity pics on forum when she joins!!

I was stupid-happy of my wife when she hit me out of the blue that she wanted her own bike.
We bought it that very day.
I was proud when she got up after her first clutch-drop and fall to say that as soon as her knee stopped bleeding she was getting back on.
I was proud watching her take the Riders Edge class.
I was super proud when the first thing she said about her bike after crashing was "Do you think it's fixable or should we start shopping for a new bike?"
So congrats to ya both. I hope you enjoy riding with her as much as I do with mine.
