Trike a GZ-250 lately?

[Cathy]

I sat on my bike for a minute and got excited for riding and proceeded to talk with Qasual about a motorcycle safety course. =3

Cathy, When Lynda was searching foe a school she found one in Vancouver(forgot the name)and V-twin School in Abbotsford. We went with Abbotsford due to timing and whatnot. It was also tax deductible due to being registered at the university.

I actually found a friend through Qasual who works at Pro Ride that does the lessons at Capilano University where I attend. *Big grin*

I can go to classes right after my classes.

EDIT: I just realized this is not the "What I did..." thread SORRY!

I don't want to sound like an a$$, but my inseam is 30", I'm (well) over 60 and I ride a Thunderbird Sport which has a 31.1" seat height, is very top heavy and weighs in at 494 lbs dry. When I sit on the GZ I feel like I'm practically dragging my butt on the ground.

To say she can't reach the ground with all the concessions and mods just baffles me...

You may remain baffled till you get older and have less strength. Age does make a tremendous difference. Everyone is different and the gals have less strength to begin with. Lynda was fine with her GZ and then her Suzuki 800 V-twin until she stated suffering some minor health issues. It's not just the height issue that may make the bike harder to ride. A combination of factors can make riding near impossible to ride safely and with confidence.

The Yamaha Virago is smaller and lighter feeling than the GZ.
The Virago will also pull from 20 mph to top speed in high

She may want to try the Eliminator 125. It's a good little bike that's as light as a bicycle.
