    Default I see two spyders in your future

    Make room in the garage, it's only a matter of time before you have two. But, do find some quiet places and go through the practice skills in the owners manual. They'll get you up and running in no time.

    Default its a start

    seems very familiar.. My wife never driven a motorcycle, started out at the local parking lot (dell Diamond) triple A ballfield, so its a BIG lot.. Then out to the country roads, then she got her license, and 3 months later she bought her own 2013 ST Limited.. All within 1 year.. Not bad huh?
    its a BLAST riding with 2 bikes now.. So enjoy it..

    My wife haven't tried driving yet, she like to be a passenger. I'm trying to get her to take the class so if something happens to me on a trip she can drive for a while. Hopefully this Summer I'll get her behind the handlebars.

    Either that; or the discussions over who gets the handlebars, will be loud and entertaining!

    She did great! Makes me think I should have spent a little more and didn't buy the manual version so, my wife could feel more comfortable to ride as well.

    She did good !
    Debbie (wifey) took the MSF class about 20 years ago but never did take the test. I'm looking forward to letting her loose in a large parking lot.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    What a small world. Yes, once we make a decision, it would be great to hook up. Hope you enjoy your new ride...it's a beauty!

    Your first rides certainly looked joyful! Just think how that joy can extend to every day.

    I'm just glad no one was filming my first ride!
