Donna and the Bull

Donna and the Bull

At 50 years old, I decided to get a bike. My husband had been looking at a scooter, so I surprised him by taking the MSF course…. Then I surprised myself by liking a bigger bike! I fell in love with the BMW, I felt comfortable in the higher upright seating. I found “the Bull” on Craigslist and bought him... While my husband was out of town! Once home I felt sick and wondered what have I done. Then I spent 2 hours reading this blog. The words of support and encouragement you have for one another buoyed my faith that I had made the right decision. I remember one gal saying, "buy the bike you love and learn to ride it". My fear of having made the wrong decision fell away and now I cant wipe the smile from my face as I ride along.

Right on!

You made the right decision girl! I too did the MSF course (last weekend in fact), and those are some itty bitty bikes. After I got my license Monday and got on my own bike, a Suzuki Boulevard 800, in the parking lot to practice... I flat out thought 'Oh gawd, I can't do this. This is the wrong bike for me'. But my husband standing beside me and telling me that I can, convinced me. Yesterday I rode 100 miles, back roads and city with heavy traffic. It went wonderfully. We girls can do it! Ride safely on your gorgeous BMW. You look fantastic on it :-)
