Shout out to my wife (DiamoGirl) for successfully completing the MSF Basic Rider Course today!!

Congratulations honey, love ya, but now stay the hell away from my bike! :p

We both successfully completed the course today, I'm already fully licensed I just took it to take it

with her and hopefully get a little more off on insurance.

The course was fun, we both were riding dualsport bikes, and I gotta tell ya I really think I might like

to get a dualsport or dirtbike now too, the bike was really fun to ride, the whole time I just wanted to

take it and run up over the curb and bolt across the grass and hill but didn't think they'd really like that :rolleyes:

Before 8am yesterday morning the wife had never ever rode anything with gears or a clutch,

hell she never even drove a cage with a clutch and by 9am yesterday there she was riding a real motorcycle around! You go girl!

So now, after 12hrs of riding a real motorcycle she's thinking about upgrading the scooter to a real bike!

Lets see how long it takes RockStarHonda (our salesperson @ HNW) to sniff out this post :p

Here are the bikes we rode during the course, this is the one I rode, a Yamaha XT, I think its a 125cc...

Nice.. how'd the TW200 ride?

Like a fat kid trying to ride a leaf blower.... had the skinny knobby tires, I took it 30 through 3ft offset cones... thing handles great but man.... I'm glad I never bought a 250...

It also stops on a dime... seriously, made the entire course ridiculously easy with that size/style bike

I'll be interested to hear what swing'r and his wife thought of them from a handling perspective.

The wife doesn't really have anything to compare the TW200 to besides her scooter, but it had seriously thick tires!

I absolutely enjoyed the handling of the XT, it was light and very nimble, I was cruisin right thru most of my exercises

like a pro on that thing. I could so see myself offroading with that thing and really enjoying it!

Thanks everyone!!! I had a great time at the class and learned alot. I mean that was my first time on a regular motorcycle. I never even drove a stick shift car let alone a bike. Now I have to get a bike to practice what I have learned. I know for a fact that my husband won't let me ride his.

Congradulation to your wife for taking the class and getting on a bike. FYI we give a $250 discount to anyone who has taken the MSF BRC within 6 months prior to purchasing a motorcycle from us. Not to mention this month we are giving a helmet and jacket with purchase of any Honda Rebal 250 purchase. Let me know if there are any other bike she is interested.
