Default Just joined from MN

Hello ---Just joined.I'm from Minnesota.My husband ICE,is addicted to this site,and I got tired of just hearing about it and decided to join myself.I love to ride and cannot wait to get my own bike in the spring. (06 LowRider.)My husband wants me to take the first available safety coarse in the spring,then we will buy my bike.I don't
want to ride behind him anymore--not that I don't trust him,but I want to feel in control.Our ride this past weekend 300+ miles in the rain and twisties at 75mph+ was enough riding two up.I WANT my own scoot !!!!! Look forward to further participation.

Welcome! I have been riding for 20 yrs although just recently purchased my first Harley. (Metric sports prior) My wife has taken to riding with me again after many years on hiatus. I wish she shared your enthusiasm for having her own wheels!

Welcome to the forum Chrissy, great thing to do with the safety course. Take your time and ride safe when you get your bike. Don't forget to show us a pic when you get it.

Welcome to the group! What part of MN are you from? I grew up in southern MN and most of my family is still there. I must say I like the NM winters much better than the MN winters.

My wife has expressed interest in getting her own bike, ever since she won a Sportster, but she is too short. Sitting on the frame of the Sporty with no seat on it she was still too far off the ground to shorten it.

I hope you enjoy the forum.
