I have decided that this year I will blog about our rides. Just a way to keep track of the adventures we hope to have.
Some background, in the fall of 2009 I bought a brand new 2008 Honda Shadow. I bought it much the same way I bought my first car, no licence!
Mike and I had decided to take lessons in early 2010. I went into the lessons thinking I would be able to do it. Half way thru I was sure I couldn't! I must here give kudos to all the instructors and staff at Pacific Riding School. They stuck with me and in the end I just needed to relax. I passed my motorcycle test with no demerits at all.
The switch from the schools little 250`s to my 750 was...... interesting and a story for another day.
Just before we finished classes Mike bought a Harley Road King. Big Bike! I dropped it the first day in the carport - oops! It is much to big a bike for me.
By the end of the summer I was riding to work - 30Km into the downtown core. The ride in was hard work with traffic but the ride home was always fun.
We did the Toy Run with a bunch of friends - That was awesome and a little intimidating
During 2010 I dropped my bike more than I wish to admit to and stalled more often than not but those event became further apart with more miles.
I ended the year with 2500km. Not a ton of miles but a good chunk. Mike ended the year with twice that.
As we move into 2011 - We look forward to more riding and more adventures.
