Title: Oh noes!!!!!! have I lost my bike???
Post by Pine on 04/15/13 at 12:21:21

On a lark... I took my wife out to the church parking lot and taught her to ride the savage. Well.... truth be told... she's a natural.. I mean a BOSS.
First lap around the parking lot and she was in the grass a few times. By the third is was putting her foot down, leaning into the turn and generally just having a grand ole time. After an hour or so, and ready to stop she actually came zooming up to me and let out a long slow rear wheel skid.. prefectly controlled and with a big ole grin on her face.

Then she asked.... how much for a helmet?

crap.............. ;D

Sounds like the perfect excuse to buy another one, to me. 8-)

Pine,
Seems to me you had the hots for another bike not too long ago. Maybe, just maybe, getting Mrs. Pine interested in riding was not just a "lark" but a well thought out scheme for you to hand down the thumper to her and get another ride? Just asking. 8-)

Good hunting

LOL, yep that's how it starts, my wife Jo was actually scared to get on my scoot as a passenger, the kids told her she was chicken, that's the only reason she ever got on!! From then on it was "her back seat" and kids had to take turns!

I picked up a really sweet looking older 250cc 4 stroke Dual Purpose for a great price, used it to get to work. She was kidding one day and stated, unfair you've got "two" bikes". I said, well, if you want one, find one you like! I was working at a shop as a parts gopher and they brought in a 87 Honda 250 Rebel Limited, (all chrome and brass from the factory) and she fell for it asap! So being a man of my word, I traded in the Dual Purpose and she's been a "rider" ever since! 8-)

My Savage was bought to be "Her" first bike, and she sure looks good on it. :)

My Savage will end up being my Daughters first bike when she turns 16. I'm already teaching her how to ride it at her young age of 13 y/o. She's doing fairly well to even with my fat butt on the rear seat of it.

16 ? Lucky girl ! Here in Italy the max you can ride 16-18 is 125cc @ 15hp, 18-21 it's free ccs but limited to 34hp.

Would this mean that if I crated my Savage to the US and my son had an "A1 motorcycle license" (European MC license limited to 125cc and 15hp) he could ride it ?
(and I get to rent something else? ::) Like a Fat Boy ?)

Anyway, I have already treated my son to his first ride "on" the Savage, meaning riding solo;
true, it was "first gear only, in the condo parking lot" but he hat a good time !
(I have to upload the .mpeg to bikepics.com to show it...)

Every state in the US has it's own driving laws Mpescatori, they range from 15 to 17 to start driving a regular motor vehicle on the road and 13 for farm vehicles in certain states.
