UPDATE:
I became certified in October to drive my motorcycle. I attended
the Motorcycle Safety Program given by NIU and passed.
Purchased
this summer at a dealer in Wisconsin, this is the bike I have been
looking for since falling in love with the sport of motorcycling
during the summer of 2002.

On
Memorial Day, my husband and I went with some friends from his C.A.R.S.
Ministry at church on a 130 mile cruise from Cary to Dekalb for
lunch and then on to Waterman to visit some friends of ours.
The
weather was almost perfect. The sun was shining, but there were
pockets of wind that caught us off guard all day.
We
left Waterman about 6:15 and arrived in our driveway at 7:55 just
before dark. The return ride home was a little more taxing on me
as I was fighting the wind most of the way home.
I
was very happy to see Crystal Lake as I knew our time on the open
road was coming to an end and my body couldn't take much more force
from the wind.
Twelve
miles outside of Crystal Lake I had to pull over and get of the
bike and stretch as my muscles were about to give out, but let me
tell you...IT IS WORTH IT.
