Nice bike and a great area to ride. I think Y'all have some wonderful miles and adventures ahead of you. You'll get used to the handling soon enough. Add a headset for her and she can listen to tunes and talk back and forth clearly. I just had to get used to the sudden snoring when she went to sleep and the intercom was turned up.

BTW: Regarding that choice of colors...

"Vivid Black" is called that because the way the bug guts stand out vividly on it! Going to be a booger to keep it clean.

I got a tip for ya here, keep a good coat of pledge on the fairing and windshield and after your ride use a micro fiber rag with hot water to soak it down and the bugs will come off pretty easily ,but the pledge is the trick here, after i clean the bugs off i put another coat of pledge on it.. it only takes about five minutes to do!! Enjoy!!
