I'm about to ride a Harley for the first time.
We're down in Punta Gorda, FL visiting my fiance's family and we're about to go on a family motorcycle ride. His dad has 2 Harley Heritage Softtail Classics, his brother has a Honda Shadow and we have....well, our bike in NC. So, we're going to rent a couple more bikes for this afternoon and I'm a little nervous. I'm waiting right now for them to get back from the rental place, and I have no idea what I'm going to be riding.
If I don't return OT, I died in a fiery Harley accident. ps...wearing riding gear and carrying helmets on airplanes makes people stare at you. I SO wanted us to sit on the plane and put our helmets on, but Rich said no. Party pooper. --------- So, I got some pics back from our little excursion. Harleys, slow, loud and WAY overpriced. And there's a waiting list to get one. Go figure! Note, the Honda Shadow. The thing was only $5,000 when my bro-in-law bought it. Sharp, sharp bike. And, yeah, I lectured Rich about his lack of proper gear. LACES!! Not that I can talk...I'm wearing jeans.

Be careful sharkie.
They tend to be a bit top heavy. I dropped my first Harley after thinking I had her in control, while stopped in a hill. Did it hurt? yup. I burned my leg. |

They are kinda fun, you just can't expect them to react to your input very quickly.

I'm sure it will be just fine to ride...
My motocycle motto. There isn't a bike I wouldn't ride. However, I'll only own sport / sport touring style bikes. AO |

And....still sitting here. I think they blew me off, didn't rent a bike and went out riding. In which case, I'm going to be wicked pissed off.
I'm sitting here getting angrier and angrier as time passes. |

Either that, or they are trying out all the rentals to find you the perfect bike.
Go to Harpoon Harry's in Fisherman's Wharf...have a drink, watch the boats. |

IF you do finally get to ride one, don't be too worried about the weight of the bike - softtails are fairly low bikes and fairly well balanced. If you have ever ridden another cruiser you should be fine. But ya might enjoy the Twin cylinder shake a little too much.

While waiting sucks, I wouldn't automatically assume that you got ditched. -Biggly ps...The helmet on the airplane thing made me laugh. On the slim chance that you did get ditched, wear your helmet back home as protest. |

But, now, we just had to turn down a trip in their neighbour's big-ass boat because these jerk offs aren't home. And, I'm here in the house with Rich's stepmum. We ran out of things to talk about 2 1/2 hours ago. Yeah, great vacation. |
