Taught the hubby to ride tonight...
And now he's hooked! He'd been itching to try her out, and since it was in the 50's today, I took him over to the industrial park and cut him loose! We worked with the friction point for a while, and since he drives a stick, he got the hang of it pretty quickly, so I cut him loose. He never shifted out of first, and basically only went straight and then turned around, but he's getting it!
The grin on his face was great! Now I have to find time in the spring to let him use her to do some private lessons from our friend who teaches the MSF.... maybe the grin will have worn off by then... |

And right after he learns, you are going to convince him to buy one of his own. Yes? ok
Oh, and on those nice days over winter you guys will have 2 to practice with.

who needs to buy a second when we'll have another one in the garage over the winter
I'm sure Nick wouldn't mind if his was used for practice... he's getting a new fairing anyway

I'm guessing that was an inquiry as to why I'm getting a new fairing. While my bike was being shipped to the dealer, the paint was chipped on the right fairing (about the size of a tic tac) and there's a small (nearly invisible) scuff on the exhaust. The dealer is getting me both parts new, but my bike wont be back in Manassas to get them on until summer...
