On April 15/16 I attended and passed my MSF course. I then obtained the "M" endorsement on my license. So I am officially a motorcycle rider.

I moved the Bandit 10 feet and decided it was not the bike for me. So after all the hard work and time that BusaWhipped spent making the bike work for me, he returned it to stock and we began to look for a "cruiser" type bike.

We found a 2002 Honda Shadow on May 21 in VA, where we were visiting family....

Yep, thats right, I am that new to motorcycle riding.

Well anyway, BW had me sit on the bike yesterday, I learned how to turn it on, where the highbeams are, the horn, turn signals, the kill switch, putting it in nuetral and first gear. Also learned that if I leave the kick stand down and put the bike in gear it cuts off. Very cool. Of course if I had not known that, the first time I take it out, I know that would happen.

I also tried to walk the bike...

I thought I would start my blog out with the beginning of my journey into learning to ride a motorcycle.

Sometimes I wonder what is going through my mind? Am I crazy? My reason for wanting to learn solely revolves around my husband. He loves it so much and wants to share it with me. I love him so much that I am willing to put myself out there, fears and all.

I am a bookworm, cross stitcher (needle point), crafty, hates crowds, movie nut kinda of person. I could
