Default New chick to the bike world!

Hello everyone! Thought I would post up my introduction! I am from Alabama.
My husband recently bought me my first bike. Yeah an F4i! I love it! Only problem
is I have never riden before. Well, I ride behind my husband but have never drivien.
I know how in my head just haven't tried! I am ssoooooooo ready and I really think
I can do it! I just gotta get a day without my two precious boys, so I can hop on
and practice. I bought some sliders for it today, hopefully the hubby will put them
on for me soon!

Crystal

There are a few threads about how to install sliders, hubby will find them helpful. Use the search feature, it isn't the best, but it helps.

Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the forum.
Have you taken the MSF Course? It's a good start for beginners. [sm=smiley20.gif]

Well this is going to come up eventually, so... how about some pictures? [sm=Flahssssss.gif]

Thanks for the welcomes everyone! I'll post some pics up of my bike in my album or gallery as soon as I get a chance.
The first ride went very well! Well, I actually ended up driving the hubbys VFR. I couldn't get the F4i going, it kept stalling.
So I hopped on the VFR, Clicked it in 1st gear, eased out on the clutch, gave her a bit of gas and I went about 250feet! I
rode back and forth for awhile. We were limited on time and space yesterday. By the time I got a chance to ride, there were
kids all over the neighborhood! Not a good idea to learn riding in the mist of a bunch of kids. I had a great first experience! My
teeth were shining for the rest of the night, from me smiling! I can't wait to hop on again! Maybe I will start a riding progress
report for you guys!

I remember those feelings my first time.

Welcome. You seem to be on the right track learning little by little off the main roads. Good work.
