hey Wife, i bought my shadow expecting to hand it down...but instead i bought her a little ninja she can use for a year or two to get into it.

i will suggest one thing right now for both of you....

get someone to rewire the brakes on those scooters if they are not set up like a bike..

put the front brake on the right and the rear on the left.

i rode a little Vino 125cc scooter and that threw me off at first

LOL Well, my wife has one and she *loves* it! Here she is on it:

I'm sure you'll love being a "biker chick" as much as she does.

This is really an excellent thread.

I wanted to recommend also purchasing two books:

Proficient Motorcycling and More Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough. I'm reading them now and they are chock full of excellent safe riding information.

Suggestion for Jon and the Mrs.

Get a bike only if you can afford to pay for a big fat comprehensive life/disability insurance policy as well. At least some of the worst case scenario stuff will be taken care of.

I gotta tell ya the so called mother in law was a major wedge in breaking up our relationship . So don't preach to me how "scarey" they can be .

....that might have been the first mistake. As for the 'scarey' comment, again, a light hearted joke. You've gotta lighten up

Yeah, we all go through hell at one time or another. Why let it blur the rest of your life?
