Welcome ninnipapa!!!!,

I'm in St. Cloud, MN & let me first congratulate you on finding this awesome forum of supportive new GZ riders.! I don't know what I would have done without the support, encouragement & advice from the friendly folks here.

To save you some trouble, if you are looking for some people to ride with, check out

http://www.womenonwheels.org/statehtml/minnesota.html

It is not exclusively for women, for example, my chapter has 4-6 guys.

Welcome!

Mary

Welcome! I'm a member of the 60+ club too, just joined this June. Does PaPa have a bike? Also wondering if that Porta Potty is heated? (The one in your picture)
Too bad the weather is turning and you can't put more time on your new toy.

Thanks for the welcome, and Mary, thanks for the link. I will check it out. Yes, Papa has a bike too----he's been riding his Honda Shadow 600 back and forth to work (about 20 mi commute) for many years. I never really enjoyed riding as a passenger but it's a whole different feeling driving. Funny, someone mentioned I'd be thinking of a bigger bike by next year at this time. We've already talked about maybe two bigger bikes next fall and maybe a real road trip when Papa retires. By the way that porta potty is on our neighbors lake lot---Papa didn't check out the view when he took the shot.

Like the looks of your windshield. What brand/ type is it if you know.

Nice rain, huh? I'm hoping to get out and ride at least one more time before winterizing sheesh!!

Don't know the brand of the windshield----I had the dealer put one on and he said this was the only one they had in stock that fit this bike. At first I wasn't sure I liked the black tint at the bottom but it doesn't interfere with visibility at all and it looks great. Rain again here today---hoping for some "indian summer" weather to ride again before putting away for the winter.
