I'm so excited!!!

[O Holy P]

I'm getting my wife a bike!!! She has expressed interest in the past and I've even had her on a small 80cc dirt bike for a few hours. And now she is really motivated and excited/nervous to get into riding. I was looking around on Craigslist and found a really good deal on a blue '00 SV650. Hopefully I'll have it in our possession in the next week or so and when I come home for vacation at the end of the month I can get her going so she can practice and take the MSF course to get legal.

Man I'm so stoked that my wife will be a riding partner. I just hope everything goes well and she doesn't have an episode that will scare her away from it.

Very good stuff. Good luck and have fun. Def beats 2 up on the Busa!!

Glad you are able to share riding with her other then just 2up. I still keep trying to get my wife to ride. Hope the SV650 works out for her!!

 

[O Holy P]

Thanks! Yea I like keeping the hump on, looks soo much better that way. She liked the Honda Rebel 250 but I told her she would probably get annoyed with the lack of power after 3 or 4 weeks of riding. I think the SV will be a great bike for her to begin on and keep her happy for a long while. I will try to get some pics of her on the SV when I get home for vacation.

This is my wife's fourth year riding. She took the MSF course, and has done great. Loves to go riding now. You will have a great time riding with your wife, although it is somewhat unsetteling the first few times you go riding together.

Thats great, I wish you both the best. ME, I like riding alone. But thats me.

Very cool!

i'd love to have my wife on a her own bike but ever since we almost got into an accident last summer, she's fallen back from even riding 2 up!! :-(.....

Check into getting some sort of comunication set up with her, it will make things much easier.

 

[O Holy P]

I have already, looking to get the Cardo SCALA system for us to use for communicating on the road. I'm already planting safety seeds for her to be cautious of (cagers).

 

[pack mule]

After about 8 months, I finally got my wife on the back with me. Didn't think that would ever happen, so maybe in about 5 years, her own bike...

Update: She just passed her MSF course and will be legal on Tuesday (5/5)!!! She said she was nervous as hell and shaking like a leaf taking the riding test part. I told her it's all part of getting comfortable with the bike, the more you are on it the more comfortable you will get. Gonna have her practice a lot on the SV, hopefully she'll be ready for the road before long.
