 Hey guys! It's Dawn......wanted to let you guys know that I am interested in prospecting my 2001 Suzuki Katana 600. As of TODAY, I proudly took my test at DMV and am now offically endorsed with my Motorcycle Learner's Permit.....and passed it on the 1st try!! WOOT! Hope to gain a lot more experience, and with the help of our Scuba Steve-O.....learn more about the motorcycle world!! ((He has been secretly helping us with looking at bikes!!)) THANKS STEVE-O!! Upon completing the DMV sponsored class in March and gaining my full motorcycle license, I would be interested in joining you guys as a sister, instead of being just the spouse of your brother Mark! My new toy is currently blue and has a few "boo-boo's" that will be the first on the list of items to fix.....to include a new tank and paint job (Which will consist of color change and possibly hydro-dipping a few pieces here and there). It currently has a D&D exhaust and custom grips and a few other things that I will post pics of soon. I look forward to joining Matt and Steve on rides and can't wait to join everyone at events to show my new BABY off!! I do have pics of the bike on my facebook page, as well as the new gear, purchased at the wonderful Street Rockets of VA, but will post better pics on HERE tomorrow!! XOXO!

She's in tip top shape now... Everything is fresh and tight! Hope the cold weather breaks soon so we can do some riding...
Meh, might give you a few days to put a shine on her and get some more one on one time with her though.
Become one with your machine! Wouldn't hurt to watch the TOTW DVD a few hundred times either. Great info in there, it gives a really good explanation of riding techniques and breaks down a lot of the fundamentals.
Congrats again! Be safe!

of course I have!! Steve has taken me out a couple times.......1st time he had me in the parking lot up the street from my house.....had me doing basics.....then he surprised me and took me around Hopewell.....said I was doing pretty good......then our next ride......& this is how I know he is my friend......He took me out in the freezing cold and rode all the way from Hopewell to Chester Rd to SRVA!! WOOT!! We went all the way down Rt 10 to Chester Rd and back!! Even went across the Rt 10 bridge!! My next big adventure is going to be taking the DMV sponsored class.....from what I have been told....It is a definite plus for any rider and plus the DMV test is difficult....so if I pass the class, I will pass with my license! Steve has lent me an awesome video and am trying to fit it in my schedule between the jobs and kids to watch a few hundred times....LOL! No literally, I wanna learn as much as I can because I have alot of family that is really against me riding a motorcycle because I have an Aunt that was in an accident over a year ago who lost her leg in a motorcycle accident.

Yeah just be careful. Not everyone respects a motorcycle driver.
