My wife’s new scoot
« on: April 14, 2018, 07:17:53 PM »
We picked up her new-to-her 2010 HD Iron 883 this evening.  14k miles, overall good shape.  She was grinning the whole way home.

I don’t think we’re going to do anything to the engine.  She’s already impressed with the power and torque.  She’s going to have the tune checked out though since it has an aftermarket tuner module/fuel controller thing and a Vance & Hines exhaust.

She’s got another seat coming for it and we’re talking about a bigger fuel tank and new handlebars.

Nice bike, it doesn’t need anymore power, Most riders can’t match what their bikes are capable of, including me, be safe.....

Heck I’m grinning for her too!
My wife wouldn’t even consider riding, even that little 305 of mine.
Good for her and you.

Good for your wife!, and you. Riding is so much more fun when wife has own bike.
Here is a pic of my "old boilers" bike when it got delivered. She loves it.....matter of fact I enjoy taking it for a spin too.

Nice Triumph Bobber, Moe.  I really dig them.  My wife was interested in them, but they’re so new she couldn’t fit it in her budget.  My wife’s last scoot was an ‘07 Triumph Speedmaster.  She didn’t ride it much because of work so we sold it.  My wife is a pommy and has been riding most of her life.  She didn’t drive a car until she was 28.
