I'd really recommend the smaller bike to start. I felt much more comfortable on the smaller bike until I got used to it. One day, when I was first learning, I started off in the drive way, and popped the clutch, gave it way too much throttle and shot across the street into a vacant lot and hit a dirt pile. My front wheel was on the pile and my feet were dangling, unable to reach the ground so I fell right over. It scared me half to death. I almost hit a brick mail box, but after it was over, my husband almost died laughting. He said I looked so hilarious with my feet dangling and the bike slowly falling over. Thankfully I was not hurt, only my pride. I would hate to think what would have happened on a larger bike. Be careful, but enjoy!!! |
Marilyn ~ Your bike is gorgeous. I even had to show my hubby, LOL. He says "Niiicccee Bike, Nice bike!" Of course he commented saying "They even have a shop to store their bikes in". LMAO - My hubby is working on a shop/barn future plans. Oh, hubby also read your "crash/hurt pride" story and says "Damn! Someone got carried away". LOL!! He's sooo goofy.
Much prettier with the paint job! Good job!
