My Inaugaral Ride!

After many practice rides in the hood.....I finally took a ride in the hill country! It would have been a perfect ride, had I not almost rear-ended my husband.

Welcome to the family. Bike looks good with a smiling rider onboard.
If you almost hit the hubby you are following to close or not paying attention. It is okay to leave a good distance between the 2 of you. He won't leave you behind, trust me. Is hubby teaching you to ride ? If so he will teach you to ride and also teach you his bad habits whether he thinks he has any or not. You should probably take a rider training course if you haven't already. It is the best way to learn to ride. Pick up a copy of Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough. It is worth it's weight in gold and the best health / survival insurance a rider can buy.
Also, where did the crash bars come from ? Inquiring minds want to know.

Here ya go Water - Barons Full Size Chrome Engine Guards for Suzuki GZ250 (99 - 09).

To the OP. You look good on the bike with a great big smile. Listen to WW about the training course and book. It's great advice.

Nice looking bike.

I like your bike. Congrats on hitting the roads. I love hills and curves. Ride safe! Maybe you should ride in front of your husband. LOL

Thanks for all the nice comments.....haven't been on this site in awhile. Yes, I have taken the motorcycle course and agree that I still have alot to learn.

Great looking bike! Don't be afraid to practice your slow speed riding now and again. I find it a good way to keep in touch with your bike. Also check out the "Lessons Well Learned" forum on this board. Safety is emphasized a lot here, a lot of newer riders learn their skills on the GZ, like me. As for rear ending your husband, keep your hostilities home, ok? We want you to stay safe..

Practice makes maybe not perfect but it puts you on the way! Be safe!
