Over 42 year's ago my wife and I began riding motorcycles. Back then there was a publication for bike riders called Touring Bike Magazine.
Penny decided to write an article for the magazine and I ran across a copy the other day while cleaning out some files. It is too good not to share so I thought I would post it here. After all these years and miles she is still riding at 77 year's old and she is on her third Spyder.

I remember that magazine tho not that particular article. That's exciting that she wrote that and that it was accepted for publication. Can you post it some where in a larger format so I (and others) can read it?

I don’t know where I could post it for viewing. If you send me your email address I can reply with a pdf copy. If anyone else wants a readable copy just PM me with where to email it to.

After you click on the photo to make it pop up in a larger version right click on it a select open link in new tab. Then move to that tab and you can enlarge it to readable size. It won't be be real sharp but it is readable. Ctrl+ works on Firefox. You can't enlarge the pop up copy that displays over the top of the forum message. It has to be in its own separate tab.
