That sounds like a lot of progress in just one week [thumbsup]

I am so with you on this one.  ;)

My husband takes me to the HS parking lot that is nearby and there is a great round about with a hairpin style turn on one side and an decreasing radius turn on the other.  We spend a good amount of time riding around that (of course he's practicing wheelies and stuff as well).  I also do starts and emergency stops and swerves  then we head for the twisty backroads 5-10 miles or more.  I am always amazed how much difference the parking lot "warmup" does to my comfort level.  I plan on doing this everyday I can before the bad weather arrives soon. 

Looks like we have a great group of women to tap for advice.   [bow_down]

A few of my experienced riding buddies ride dirt and recommended I get into that to help further my comfort and skill level.

Congrats on your progress.

My hubby is still above chocolate, coffee and beer. I guess he loves me for my honesty. [roll ;). I DO love him but he knows the order. Hehe.

Btw, stopintime, your bike is pretty sweet lookin. [thumbsup]

Don't be fooled. I may joke around but on my bike I am all business.
