Grasshopper.............consider your hand slapped for scaring me. Please don't ride with one hand holding your camera. You just handicapped your riding skills and ability to avoid an oops. And yes I know the urge is there to record the ride as you want. I tried it quite some time ago and didn't like the idea of wildlife and cagers doing something insane while I was one handed at the controls. Body, bike or helmet mounted devices are much safer in the long run. The risk and decision is yours of course but I just don't want to hear of you crashing into something that could have been avoided. Nuff said. I will now slink off to my corner.

Thanks for the slapping. I will use the mount next time.

Congratulations Wifey!

My wife has almost 6,000 miles of riding since she got her motorcycle permit last year. She is now a license motorcyclist. She passed her motorcycle license exam today with flying colors . The examiner said she did better than most men . Just thought I would share. Everyone ride safe and have fun .

A really big hug and congrats to your wife. When Lynda went for her test the examiner said she was the best he had ever tested in either gender.

When the Gals get serious about riding they seem to excell beyond most folks expectations. Lynda got tired of sitting on the back of my Vstrom and eventually falling asleep. Her GZ was the start of a great adventure. Her riding career was only 5 years long but filled with some very happy times and no accidents or mishaps.
Ride safe, ride often.
