A 40 Year Dream Come True

Our 1985 Honda Rebel

Last week at age 55 I passed the MSF Basic Riders Course and received my motorcycle license endorsement. Forty years after sitting on my father's 1965 Honda, my dream of riding finally came true. In April my husband purchased a 1985 Honda Rebel 250 to get back into riding (he rode in the 70's), he took me on a ride the night we brought it home and my reaction was "I have got to get me one of these!". Got my temps in June, wobbled in first gear in a parking lot for a few feet once and then on to class in July. Yesterday, I rode on the streets of our neighborhood for the first time. Glorious!!
