Bought our first motorcycle today!

[Oddball]

Hey ya'll from southeastern IL! My hubby and I (yes, I'm a chick, lol) bought our first motorcycle today. She's got a couple scratches where she's been dropped a few times, but since we're beginners, we don't mind at all. Got her from a wonderful guy in southwestern Indiana.

My dad rode when I was a toddler, and after I turned 18, both my parents got bikes, as my mum started riding. They both have Harlies. My uncle has one too, and now I have a brother-in-law who's rode.. Couple grandparents who rode back in the day.. You could say its in the blood, lol.

Hopefully I'll have pictures up pretty soon, my laptop doesn't like to hold a connection, so I'm using the hub's desktop. Its a real pretty blue with silver and blue streaks around the tank, little 2003, came with a windshield, saddlebags and brake/clutch tassel covers (which hubby swears are going to disappear). He will probably move up to a 650 pretty soon, but little person like me, a 250's just fine, at least for now. You'll probably see me stalking the threads for a while, right now I'm trying to figure out what gear I want. The hubby's already got his armored pants, jacket and a good helmet; I guess I'm just a little slower. Lol!

Hopefully we'll get to start our local motorcycle training course in the start of July, and I think we'll be taking it out to a not-so-populated area tomorrow. Can't wait!! :2tup:

Edit: My number one complaint so far is about gear.. Why do they always think girls want pink? Urgh.
