Nice work Scootergrrl! My wife needs a little work on her Sporty but right now she gets the Mommy jitters (you Moms know what I'm talking about).

let me say way to go also....ain't nothing like have a hot babe riding beside you....I taught mine to ride also, but then
she also wanted to take the MSF riding course (amybe didn't ompletely trust me), she did and ACE'd the class....whatever you do give her more encouragement than she needs and she'll never look back.....

Good stuff Scooter..

Remember always:
- The basics
- You never stop learning on these bikes.
- Skills can always improve and they can always get rusty.
- There's a little old lady somewhere waiting to pull out infront of you and kill you.
- All cages have blind spots
- Cagers will look right at you and not see you before they cut you off
- Some cages are on cell-phones or yelling at the kids in the back seat
- good tires are a cheap way to get through the curves safe
- gravel sucks.. pick your line in the road to avoid it if you can
- into the turns at a very controlled speed.. It's that roll on coming out that's the fun part
- look into the turn.. straight up and ahead.. not on the ground infront of you
- keep a wide "radar" around you of what's going on around you in traffic
- defensive driving.. to say the least. Practice Ultra-defensive riding
- ride to the level that if you have to, you can escape a possible situation
- sunscreen (yer too perdy to get all burnt from sun and wind.. and wind will burn ya)
- and last but not least.. don't blow Anibisss' doors off too much.. He'll have an ego problem. hehehe

Just one or two good ideas in hopes you have a long long time enjoying your new bike safe and happy and the apple of anubisss' eye!

We're proud of ya! Stay safe! Have a blast! Gorgeous sporty!

Wish you guys were on the east coast.. I'd love to find out about a southeast HF Forums rally.
