SWing'R Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 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! 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 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 Here are the bikes we rode during the course, this is the one I rode, a Yamaha XT, I think its a 125cc...Here is the one she rode, a Yamaha TW200...

NightRider Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Haha. Great. Congrats to her for passing. And with such little experience. Eventually, your gonna have to beat her off with a stick to keep her off your bike. Good luck, and hide your keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 good job, mine was last weekend... I rode a TW 200... opposite feeling though... never want to ride one on road again.I did, however, want to take it over the curb too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Nice.. how'd the TW200 ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 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 bikeI'll be interested to hear what swing'r and his wife thought of them from a handling perspective.

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamoGirl Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 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.

[/quote']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.
