Well. I decided to TRY to advance my riding skills further.
Beyond what I can teach myself, , , to myself. If that makes any since.
.
So, I signed up for the skilled rider course on May 14th.

.
AND, I also ordered a DVD to watch while waiting for May 14th to roll around.

.
Now, there is a backstory to all this. Those who know me here, remember
I had issues manhandling a V-Star 650. ( a not too heavy bike )
and is what ultimately lead to me riding a little Vulcan 500 ( most often referred to as a GIRLS bike, with ZERO street cred! hahahaha! )
AND THEN, about a week ago, I made a run to Wal Mart >:( and swooping in
through the way overpacked parking lot, zipping in and out and all around like a Dove in the wind, was this bright yellow Honda GL1800 Goldwing I have learned to call " Big Bird ". The operator was maneuvering the big bike like I would a 50cc scooter. So fluid. So easy.
Now, I decided to go meet the owner of big bird finally. So I looped back around and parked 2 spots down from HER. Yes, , , , HER!!!
Now boys, let me tell ya something here, this little woman, MAYBE all of 5' 4" and 120 lbs soaking wet, was BUILT RIGHT!!!! Oh my oh my oh my! I am a Christian man, and TRY not to allow my eyes to "look upon with a lustful heart", , , but, , , , DANG this ol gal was HOT!!!!
The kind of woman that would get a preacher in trouble kind of hot.
OK, * slaps myself * back to the point of all this.
Anywhoooooo, she was putting her helmet in the rear locking case as I passed by her, said hello and that I had seen her around some, and had to walk away. ( for above mentioned reasons )
But I was floored by how well she handled that 1800cc , 933 lb. motorcycle.
And here I am, 5' 10" 160 lbs. and was fighting with a little 525 lb. Vstar 650!!! SOMETHING AINT RIGHT!!!!
.
I grew up riding scooters, dirt bikes, dual sports, and a Rebel 250.
I never had a REASON to learn how to ride a larger bike.
And I can not teach myself, , , what I do not know. :lmao:
.
So, , I am going to learn from the Pro's HOW to ride a large bike.
And after talking to the man at Abernathy's Harley Davidson, he assured me
in no time flat I will learn the skills and develop the ability to handle a Road King bagger as good as anyone. I sure hope he is right!!!!!!!

thanks for letting me yammer on about my stupidity. LOL
