That sucks that you have to wait until the end of the week to pick her up! I hate waiting with a passion. I had to wait two days when I bought my Street Glide and I swear it almost killed me!

Ride safe and have fun. My wife LOVES her 883L, even I ride it... when she lets me.

Probably going to go and practice turns, emergency stops, shifting, etc in a empty school parking lot near my house. Then take it riding through some neighborhood streets before I go out for a day ride with my friends. SO EXCITED and I knew you would all understand what I'm feeling.

as a new rider i share much of the same excitement that you do.

from the descriptions of your intended practice i'd say you already took a safety course. the biggest differences i found between the tiny toys in the class and the sporty are weight and power. everything else will just click.
