She surprised me again

[Iowa Guy]

I recently bought a 01 Kawasaki Ninja 250 for my youngest son to learn to ride on. I enrolled him in the basic course with ABATE and was letting my wife know about it so she could coordinate schedules (manage our lives). Then she says, I want to learn how to ride too. I said, WHAT? She has shown no interest in riding since I bought the bike nearly four years ago and then when I buy a screamin green crotch rocket she wants to learn. Of course, I sent in the application for the course right away but I am still shaking my head.

My mother and Step father bought a heritage classic in 2004. I was trying to talk my mom into taking the MSF course with my stepfather. She said she had no interest in piloting the bike.

 

I knew better.

 

Sure enough, she called me up the next spring asking what bike she should buy. I started her on a TW200 and she has since purchased a 2006 Street Bob.

Good for her!!!

She and my other son took the course and passed the exam. I helped her practice in a parking lot. Maybe that is why she took a wide corner and dumped it in a flower bed. Only place in the whole area she or the bike wouldn't get hurt. I gotta look for a bigger garage. The 650 V-Star is a good lady's bike. Any other suggestions?

My Wife took the MSC offerred in NH about 3 years ago. I started her out on a 535 Virago... it was cute, very lite and low seat. She loved it... But it just wasn't big enough for the hiway. So after a year on the Virago... I bought her a 2003 750 Honda ACE with windshield and bags. Now she rides her own almost everywhere we go.

 

I'm so proud of her... 50+ years old and still learning new things. She is awesome!!!

The Kaw 500LTD is pretty nice with 6 speed. It'll get on down the highway. New and used very reasonable.

My wife rides a Vulcan 800, she won't even ride the Venture with me any more, she would rather pilot her own. 800 are pretty easy to find and cheap. I have an extra one if you are even slightly interested.

My thoughts exactly. Poor sucker might as well hang a For Sale sign on his scoot.

 

 

Boomer......who's idea of doing dishes is to call the pooch into the Kitchen and let her lick everything clean.

My wife is 5'2" started on a lowered honda magna VF750, and is now riding a lowered Road Star 1600, which she says is the easiest bike she ever had to handle.

The road star is very easy to lower.
