Remember the first Harley that I ever rode, foot clutch and a hand gear change, it just about frightened the life out of me!

Shouldn't this post be moved to the 'Agricultural Equipment' thread?

Why don't you buy her something easy to ride, those chopper things are a bitch to handle, they are hard to get around corners. Foward controls are difficult to use I can't see the point, if you want to put yr foot on the ground it has to travel quite a long way instead of just naturally dropping down to the ground from the footpeg.
A CB 400 or similar style is going to be a lot easier to handle.

.. and the wife.

Rigger · 25-08-2007, 10:58 AM

for starters the seat height on the CB 400 is to hi for her and she wanted a chopper I thought about a Rebal 250 or Virago 250 but this one just turned up at very cheap money as well as I know the history of the bike recent jap import.So if she cant ride it I can sell it on to someone else easy enough with out losing money

Great bikes.

Drop a tooth of the front and put a couple on the back and it changes the whole bike.
You can get a nice HID system as well for a hundred fffty dollars as well twin lights
