Congratulations! she's one smart kid. That's awesome! Mary

No problem. If you're head isn't into it, then you heart won't be either. and that's not safe. I'm a bit older than you, but haven't ridden enuf years at this point, only about 15 total. No idea what your traffic is like, here in the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex, it's bad, but 5 minutes in the...

"Nothing exists for me right now but this very instant in time." very well said... the essence of the ride.....ahhhh..... Mary

NICCCCE! I'd like a Sprint... Just drooling here again.... Have fun! Mary

funny... I'm on a forum where the cavemen are proud to be caveman....pans, shovels and knucks...<G> although some of them also have evos, dressers and twinkies..... and sportbikes...(non-HD!) :D they take pride is building and keeping the old stuff running, generally way better than...

Wow...it must've been a very long time since you bought a car! <BG> But then, I must be a disgrace to the Harley "community"...I'd practice riding around Hawaii (O'ahu) using ONLY my front brake. My Deuce stops decently, but only has one front disk. I have had to grab a handful (and...

I have Progressive, used it a couple of time with my Jeep (not off road, just in the driveway!) and once with the Harley. The bike had a flat tire around the corner of I70 and I15... fortunately Verizon has a corridor of cell service along those roads, so I was able to get to Progressive...

Same reason I sold my FJR...just too big for me. But I'm also lookiing at the BMW F800ST, sort of a smaller FJR. For a sportier version, there's also an F800S, sport version. I had a Bandit 1200, nekkid version.... lowering links, 1" shorter Progressives in the front, and shaved the seat a...

Congratulations! They are so sweet! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Mary

Only 27.... :o ( mary

You got that right! Especially if I dont' have my GPS and am already lost! <BG> Mary

Hey, it's only water! You got decent tires, a good rainsuit and a full face helmet, right? If you're worried about the what if's ...don't ride at all. If you pay attention and watch the other drivers, not much different than dry roads... The cagers wont' see you in any case. Let's see...

Or a BMW F800ST Or a Suzuki Bandit or Triumph Sprint St and have it lowered. The FJR is pretty heavy with no leg leverage. I have a 29" inseam and riding it was way easy, almost effortless... but the getting gas in the rain and stopping on gravel totally sucked. Mine was lowered to within an...

answers... "Why do people climb mountains?" "Why do people jump out of perfectly good airplanes?" "Why do people race cars?" "43 mpg and I get to ride in the HOV lanes." :rolleyes: Mary

I do remember being "dicked with" from some truckers between Indy and Chicago on my way back from EOM. I would pass a "clump" of traffic and get ahead with a pace slightly higher than average. :) I would approach some trucks in the right lane and go to pass and the rear trucker would begin...

Some other suggestiois from and inseam challenged rider.....29-31" depending on which boots I'm wearing...(ok, I' have about 6 paiirs of boots!) Cruisers.... Triumph Speedmaster or America but she'll need a different seat. Low seat height but forward controls. the sportbikes can all be...

Good... just tell her everyone drops their bike eventually.... My first bike was an RD350... I'd keep forgetting to turn on the gas. It took me a couple of times running out of gas at the corner red light to 1. learn to turn on the gas 2. NOT to try to kick start it without putting the...

Just a suggestion... Check out the bike pics at https://misshell218.homestead.com/dangerouscurveshawaii.html on the riders Many of them have lowered their bikes. I saw one R6 at a dealer that might have had THREE inches of ground clearance. also had a custom paint job. Many of the girls...
