deal!
and PS my wife, who hasn't ridden since she got preggers 13 years ago, wants the Monster 620/96
The Duc would be a great bike; I know I love mine.
One thing I don't have to worry about is my wife and bikes. I dropped her in a low speed turn when we lived in the Florida Keys in 1982 and that's the last time she rode on a bike.
But I did get my son involved in the sport and that is a whole different kind of anxiety. He was doing his first race weekend ever at Nashville Speedway last year. We were in the same race. I'm on my FZR400 and he is on an MZ Skorpion. I guess he was doing OK, but I was ahead of him at the end so I wasn't sure. Race is over and I'm waiting for him at pit in and he doesn't show up. I start to freak and ask another racer if he saw him. He said yeah, I saw him off track. Well, I'm thinking he lost it, trashed himself and the bike...or worse.
10 minutes go by and here he comes in the crash truck. Bike looks fine, he looks fine. I ask him what the hell happened. He looks at me with a disgusted face and says, dad, the bike ran out of gas! Since then we make sure to top off before every race!
This is a pic of him and I during practice. He hadn't quite figured out the proper line but he is getting a lot better.
And the good times we have together thanks to bikes. Our pit at Nashville.
I even get my daughter involved. She was my pit crew at Talladega and did a great job.
