Hi Gals.
As you see, my name is Teresa. Been on the back of 2 wheelers as a passenger since I was 5 years old. (No, that was not a typo). when I got out on my own, I planned to learn to ride on my own, but then was in a car accident and messed up my knee. It goes out when you least expect it (walking up stairs, walking across a flat surface, whatever), so riding a bike was a big "no way". I kept imagining stopping at a red light, only to have the knee go out and me and the bike to hit the pavement.
Then I saw the spyder.
It took me 4 years, but finally talked hubby into it.
We brought it home Thursday, but it's already in the shop to fix a leak so I've only ridden it once. I've "Passengered" once as well. I'm scared out of my mind and thrilled at the same time. I can't wait until I'm comfortable enough to do take off on my own. I haven't gotten to the open road yet, though I do have my learner's permit. I plan to take the 3wheeled course the next time they have one in the area. they're always looking for someone who has their own bike to be able to hold it (they have 2 bikes, 3 are required).
My baby is yellow, and is as of yet, unnamed and un-themed. Looking for great ideas. I had initially wanted the blue one which no longer exists, and was going to paint it wolf theme if I could find something reasonable, since to me, they look like a snarling wolf from the front. but, alas, yellow and wolf doesn't really go well together.
Hubby is praying for the pittsburgh steeler's theme. I told him he could put one pittsburg sticker, INSIDE one of the saddle bags. LOL
