Hi everybody!!
I'm Lisa and I am a newbie to the scooter world
I've been a full-time passenger on my hubby's 2 Yamaha V-Maxes for 20 years and now that the scooter world has developed scoots that he feels like can keep up with his bike going down the back country roads around Fort Worth/N. Texas, we decided that I was ready for my own ride! I took the MSF basic motorcycle class (on their only scooter!) middle of May, passed the motorcycle written test for my license endorsement on May 27, bought my '07 Honda Metropolitan at a garage sale around the corner from our house (330 miles on it!!) and then my hubby went on vacation for Memorial Day. He returned with a 2012 Burgman 650 Exec for me!!! He bought it for me in Arkansas on the way home and didn't breath a word!!! Sneaky thang!! ;D
Anyway, my hubby, who has been riding motorcycles for 40 years is my rider coach, and we are taking the Burgman riding VERY slowly since I'm so new to all of this!! I've named the Burgie "the Beast" and the Met is my Lil Blue!
We live in the country about 25 miles SW of Ft. Worth, so there's not many roads Lil Blue can ride on(but I'm finding more everyday!!), and me and the Beast are getting to know each other in the parking lot of the high school! I am not looking to commute with the Beast anytime soon, but really look forward to motoring down the country roads with my husband together!!
This looks like a GREAT place for scooter lovers to hang out!! See ya round the boards!!
