Big ride....for me

TheMadBaker · 03-04-2012, 05:40 PM

I decided to surprise Larry and ride over to the station on Saturday...it was windy, but I did it. It was an 11mile ride each direction. After I got there, whew my heart was in my throat, but I did it.

I will make it out to the big roads soon enough! T-bone you would be proud!

Nice, I tried to get Janice to ride a few years ago when I had an extra motorcycle. She seemed to not get over being scared though and after a short time I told her she could just ride with me cause i didn't want her to get hurt. It's awesome that you are able to ride though.

It gets easier with time. The first time I rode on the highway I thought I was going to get blown off the back.

You're the one with the VTX, correct? Very nice.

I'm taking mine for a 4000+ miles roundtrip in May, feel free to tag along!

Very nice Leigh, risking life and limb to visit Larry, not sure if it was worth it

Is that not all that matters??? Actually, she just showed up ridding the bike. She has only been on the road like 3 times prior to this. I am proud of her ridding skills.

Used to love riding with my wife, so much nicer when they ride their own

Thanks Guys...met an Army Ranger and instructor at MacDill--he cringed a few times after I told him about my ride, but his wife in in my shoes exactly...she is a brand new rider, he has been riding forever, she refuses to ride with him since he is an instructor as well, but is ready to venture out--he says Larry and him will go have a cigar and worry and we can go ride around the base! LOL, I said SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PLAN!!! He shook his head and walked away--totally defeated!...GIRL RIDER!
