Oh noes!!!!!! have I lost my bike???
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.............. Grin

Reply #3 - 04/15/13 at 12:52:28 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. 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! Cool

Reply #7 - 04/15/13 at 23:33:53 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. R.F.

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? Roll Eyes

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...)

In TX only 15 y/o's are restricted to 250's once they turn 16 and have had their regular automotive license for 6 months they can get a class M endorsement, after taking the MSF course.
