Hi All,
This is going to sound really stupid, but here goes:
My husband kept insisting that a pair of boots with
some decent height heels on them would help my balance.
He also told me that it sounded like the responses I
was reading from you all were starting to give me confidence.
He was right on both counts! Last night, after getting some
boots and gloves, I hopped on that VStar and was easily able
to roll the bike around the garage; forward and backward.
It felt great! I told him I was ready to ride. We both got on
our bikes and rode for about 10 minutes around the
neighborhood (temp. was about 20 degrees. Brrr!). I even went
around some of the courts with cars parked on the curbs.
I know this achievement probably sounds laughable to most
people, but I'm just so happy (& relieved) to be riding this
bike I wanted to say thanks to everyone for taking the time
to share their thoughts and ideas - it really made a difference
for me.
Ann
