I am waiting for Dave to get here with his camera so I can put up my pics.<BR/>I didn't ring the bell. :( Things down there were pretty chaotic with all they had going on. I am surprised I didn't cry..I'm such a boob. But I think I was too much in shock. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Lady R- She is so pretty! See above comment as far as pics go. Yes, lots of emotions.. and feeling like I was going to throw up while Dave was taking her home for me and I was following in the car. I will definately stay within my comfort zone, I saw first hand with our friend Dale what can happen when you try to "keep up" with more experienced riders. And I will be getting lots of practice before I try to pretend I really know what I'm doing. :)<BR/><BR/>Dean- Thank you! Fear is not an option! :) Ok, maybe just a little bit of fear keeps us out of trouble.<BR/><BR/>Becky- Thanks. Yeah, impulsive is a good thing sometimes. What's important is that I woke up this morning still happy with my choice.<BR/><BR/>Joker- I know, I know, can you believe it...a Sporty, an 883 no less. But it was a steal, so I figure when I need a bigger bike I won't be out much if I have to sell her. But right now I can't even imagine ever wanting to do that. I know I will go bigger later, but hopefully by then we will be in a position to keep my baby and get another bike. Riley already has decided I can keep her for when he is old enough to ride, although he says he will have to paint her. :)<BR/><BR/>Ann- Thank you! Pics soon, I promise! I can't wait for yours to be up too, looking forward to those posts!<BR/><BR/>Mrs RC- Thanks! It's been rough realizing I may not be able to get the bike that I "really" wanted to start. But I have to say that I am a very happy girl right now! The important thing is I will be able to ride, and I think all in all she is going to be a perfect bike for me right now. Dave is very protective right now, so no need to worry there. <BR/><BR/>RC- Thanks, it was pretty exciting, and I look forward to many more over the years. :) Yeah, I'm trying to keep Dave away, but I don't have anywhere to park her, so she's in his garage. But, I have the keys! <BR/><BR/>To all of you...Thank you so much for your encouragement and for sharing in my excitement. I almost feel like this wouldn't have happened without all of you cheering me on. I really appreciate having you all as friends who I can share this journey with! Sorry for being sappy, but I truly mean every word!B.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00598057523770603981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6375337914020751846.post-48261817662565500042008-08-24T18:44:00.000-07:002008-08-24T18:44:00.000-07:00Congratulations!

I guess they all are, but not as exciting as the first one! The first one is the best! It's a life changing event!

And I had to run right over here and read your post! :-D<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the club girl! And don't feel bad about not waiting for the big twin. I am a firm believer that if you keep putting things off <I>until you can afford it</I> or <I>until its the right time</I>, all you are doing is putting it off. You will never <I>have enough money</I>, and it will never become <I>the right time</I>. Sometimes, you just have to say "screw it, I'm gonna go ride!!" (even if it takes a compromise)<BR/><BR/>I am so happy for you. I am sure that you will love your new ride. Treat her right and she will return the favor. I'd bet money that Dave will not let you go off and do anything crazy on her until you are ready, so I'm not going to give you any "sensible" advice. I'm sure you will do fine.<BR/><BR/>Ride on, sister! :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6375337914020751846.post-86751154676483165512008-08-24T15:10:00.000-07:002008-08-24T15:10:00.000-07:00Congratulations!!!

Then, as soon as I saw 883, I was like, "NOOOooooo! Hold out for the Big Twin!" Well, you know what, I'm a big fraud. How can I lecture you about impulse buying a Sporty, when that's exactly what I did last year, LOL!<BR/><BR/>It was the first Harley I looked at. I sat on it, and it felt right. I liked the look and the price was right. Done. Same as you. In hindsight, maybe I'd have done better if I'd waited or looked around more. On the other hand, my bike's been good to me and we've both been down, touched bottom, and come back up again. I can't complain.<BR/><BR/>2004 was a good year for Sportys. So welcome to the club, congrats and big hugs! I remember how exciting it was for me so I can relate to how you must feel now. Enjoy! I'm looking forward to seeing pictures when I get back from the rally."Joker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00123102968850707085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6375337914020751846.post-82329758419273365232008-08-24T13:04:00.000-07:002008-08-24T13:04:00.000-07:00Yay, that's exciting.

Wow, I am soooo excited for you! You better post those pics today! <BR/><BR/>Some laundry day this turned out to be, heh? <BR/><BR/>You've made me think of the day I got my first bike, and I know all the emotions your feeling! Excitement, happiness, fear (yes fear). When the realization hits you that your the one controlling the machine under you, fear plays havoc in your mind... Can I do this? Will I be all right? Do I know what I'm doing? <BR/>The answer is ... YES!!! You can do all of it! Just know your limitations, and stay within your comfort zone. The rest will follow with time and experience. <BR/><BR/>I wish I could be there and ride with you. I think I'm as excited as you are! I am proud to know another sister will be joining us on the road with other women riders! You go girl!<BR/><BR/>I'll be watching for the next post. I'm sure I'll have more to say! ;)Lady R (Di)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08253802136989789026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6375337914020751846.post-61983375177650870372008-08-24T04:47:00.000-07:002008-08-24T04:47:00.000-07:00B.B. that is so wonderful!
