This weather is unbelievable. I love going down the road and thinking how the forecasts had made it sound like it wasn't gonna be a good day for riding. Hah! It looks like it might be a longer cycle season than usual here in Northeast Ohio.
And I'm gonna enjoy it from the behind the handlebars of my own bike!
I met a yellow and black 2002 Honda Shadow Aero 1100VTC last fall. Wasn't sure if that was the way to go - I had only had my license for a couple months and I was worried I may not be able to handle that big of a bike. But with some time on my husband's Honda VTX 1300 R - I'm proving myself capable. I'm still a bit conservative but I've got plenty of time to hone my skills and it will be so much easier on my own bike. I think the thought of dropping my husband's ride was suffocating my confidence. After a few spins this spring on the VTX I'm thinking I'm gonna be conquering asphalt like no other in just a few days. The seller just sent word yesterday that the Aero is coming out of hibernation TOMORROW! So unless there are new critical issues that I don't know about - I will be purchasing my own ride this week. I'll post pics as soon as I can.
In the meantime I want to let you know that the folks at Western Reserve Harley Davidson in Mentor hosted a good Garage Party on March 25th. About 50 women attended and enjoyed the info, refreshments and camaraderie. I would have liked to meet some of the other gals and find out their experience and hear their advice on bikes & gear, etc. but we were herded from one talking head session to the next. And why does there always have to be that one person who thinks they're God's gift to the group and talks WAY too much at every chance. Ah well - no fault of those who organized it. Looking forward to getting to know those who work the Honda showroom right next door in the same building. Western Reserve has it covered pretty good there on Tyler Blvd.
