Thanks for your great seminars! You each have great stories to tell and helpful tips.
Skert and Andrea... on the way home I was faced with 2 hills,,,I was going to say big but it doesn't matter how big they are. A small can be as debilatating as a huge one depending on your frame of mind! To make a long story short the frist one did not go well but the second one I made sure I had good footing before I stopped and kept my calm..even though my blood pressure was through the roof and my everything was shaking,,, I made the hill like a pro! Thanks for letting those of us with hill phobia that we are not alone!
Don thanks for your tips on the K75 and letting us all know that we are not less of people for not using the center stands. I have missed good riding days because my bike was on the center stand and there was no one home to help me get it off! NO MORE MY FRIEND!!! I will use the side stand and be proud of it!!
Voni I loved you tales of the road. I am still chuckling about changing the air in your tires. Because of you and the other girls I am seriously thinking about going solo to the New Hampshire Ladys driving course in August...If anyone has the details on the could you please pass them
on. I will check my bike everytime before I ride..I lost some windscreen parts on the way home that I would have noticed had I did a walk around check before I stared out. It is all zip tied together and got me home no problem!! Actually I kind of like the rugged look and may leave it like that. :laugh
Thanks again to all of you
