We finished the last modifications on the Softail to allow Peggy to ride it easier. The last two modifications were to lower the front by an inch, and to rake back the handle bars and adjust the brake and clutch levers for her. We previously lowered the rear and bought a seat that sits lower on the bike.

We had her out Saturday morning in a parking lot between some new office condos that are still vacant. She did great! She did some laps, then I had her doing large lap figure 8′s, and she rode like a pro.

We went for a nice ride to St. Jo with Daryl and Judy on Sunday morning on the Ultra, and Peggy mapped out a great route to get us there. On the way home, she said that she was ready to graduate to the neighborhood streets next. Since I am out of town through Thursday, it will need to wait for the weekend. If all goes well, maybe she will ride it herself to one of the kids houses this weekend.

Live to ride, ride to live (eat).
