Hi everyone. I started riding in Aug of 2010, my new adventure with riding started with learning/riding on a 1988 Honda Shadow VT800. I sold her last spring. In July I found my new bike, Morning Star. She only had 3,000 miles on her, she use to be a garage queen...now she is a road queen. I have replaced the soft saddle bags with sissy bar bag, have added a mustang seat,lindby bars, luggage rack, and I also cut down the windshield.
Over Labor Day weekend, my husband and I hauled our bikes to Pagosa Springs, Co to my sister and brother in laws home. They also ride. We all rode to Silverton, Co and spent the night. The next day we rode the Million Dollar hi-way to Ouray, CO. It was the first time for many things for me on this thrilling trip. Living in the top part of TX, we don't exactly have many sharp curves, so the switch backs were new for me and they were a blast! One of those...scary but fun...kind of moments. We also were rained on, so riding in the rain was another first for me. All in all, it was a blast!
