I AM NOW OFFICIALLY A 'BIKER'!

[bruisersbaby]

Friday, Bruiser and I rode the Spyder in our Veteran's Day parade with the Guardian Brotherhood RC, of which he is a member. Had a great time and also attended the dedication of the New Veterans' Memorial. Very moving. Saturday, we were to meet the Brotherhood again for a car and bike show. I had told Bruiser if he wanted to ride his Vulcan that I could drive the car. He asked me if I wanted to ryde the Spyder and he would ride the Vulcan. After a lot of debating, thinking, fear and determination, I rode the Spyder on the highway and in town. I'm not all the way there yet, but more seat time means better driving!

A lot of us can still remember the fear, anxiety and excitement we felt on some of our first solo rides. The more you ride the better you'll feel. We're lucky to live near a small industrial park, so after work I could go over there and practice different maneuvers with no traffic to worry about. You can set up cones to weave through, or a line to practice stopping exactly where you want.

Congratulations and good luck.

Thanks all! Yes, the Vulcan is his, and I may let him 'drive' the Spyder once in a while, but don't think I'll be a passenger that much anymore!!
