RE: 38 years..........a sappy post
And here I thought this was going to be some sappy post about being married for 38 years or somethign. GOOD for you girl! Just keep getting out there...you'll get more & more confident and the ony way to do it is to just ride. My hubby threw me to the wolves and I did a 450 mile road trip 3 months after I started riding and he took me to the Dragon. Talk about STRESS!!!! I had never been on the highway, never been over 70 and never been on twisties. I don't recommed doing all those firsts at once but I'll tell you after that trip my confidence on that bike rose 150%. So keep on riding....you'll be taking twisties like a champ in NO TIME!!!!

Married for 38 years??
Is that even possible.
We're old...but gawd we aren't that old yet.
Hmmm the dragon you say....that's only a couple hours away...and suddenly she likes the highway???

RE: 38 years..........a sappy post
You guys are killing me! It sounds like me and my wife talking. My wife took the MSF course in 2003. Bought her an 883 Hugger. She said "anything bigger, and I can't handle it." Ok.... last summer, we picked up her 05 Heritage Classic. Guess she realized a bike is a bike once you get them moving. Every once in a while, we'll be out riding and she get's the Speedracer syndrome. Most of the time, 45-55 is her comfort zone. Once in a while, out of nowhere, she'll pass me and run hers up to 80 or 85. At Myrtle this year, a few of us took a little ride up to Wilmington. On the way back, I was in the very back of our group. She was in front of me. We're rolling down 17 about 60 mph or so. All of a sudden, she jumps outta line and takes off like a bat outta hell. I think it's her Speedracer coming out, so I follow her. I passed her a little of 90. Never even looked over at her. As I checked my mirror, I see her left hand holding her bikini top in place!!!! I slow down so she is beside me. As she was riding, the strap across her back broke! There is nowhere on 17 to pull over, no shoulder, nothing. Every mile or so is an emergency pull off. I'm laughing my *** off at her. At some point, she has to let go of the top and grab the clutch! Had she been thinking, she could have let go of the throttle, grabbed her top with that hand, pulled the clutch in, shifted into neutral and slowed to a stop without letting the top go. OH NO, never crossed her mind. About 1/8 mile ahead, we see the pull off. She lets go of the top and starts to slow into the pulloff. Every trucker in North Carolina must have been on 17 that afternoon. Imagine the image....Hot biker chick riding down the road on her own bike, white boobies shown for the whole world to see. As our group got stopped, none of us could stop laughing, including her. Just a little comment on your thread.

Helen would be a great ride. We've never been there but I have heard a lot about it.
That sounds like it'd make a great fall ride too.....the whole leaf peeping thing.
Being from Maine originally.....I LOVE the cool temps.
