Yeah, I know what you mean, but a lot of people have no idea how much a Harley costs, they just see something that makes them want to talk about. I think bike riders just find other riders friendly and can talk because they have something in common with you. Although, Harley riders do get much more attention than some of the other bikers. Like the old saying goes, if a man has a Harley, he can get any girl he wants no matter what he looks like! I think that saying is very true to a certain extent. People are just facinated with a motorcycle. I do the same thing with some cars that are so cool. You walk up and talk to them about it or make some comment.

Yup, quit thinking about it and just enjoy it. All aspects of life will be different for you when you lose weight. People will notice you, jobs will be easier to get, clerks will wait on you faster. Maybe when we lose weight we start feeling better, doing more, giving off a better attitude. Maybe we smile more, say hello more. People look down on heavy people, it is just a fact of life. It's wrong but it happens to all of us everyday. but you still have those few people that can't look you in the eye because they are too busy looking down on you.

Go riding, enjoy the attention, smile and have a good time. That is what riding a Harley is for. It is meant to make you forget all the bad, all the tention, and all the ugly mean people!

Class starts this Friday night 5 - 10 p.m. in a classroom. Then all day Saturday and Sunday outside. They keep testing till everyone passes the DMV tests. They'll give me an endorsement, so Monday I'll take it to the DMV and trade it for my license if all goes well. By this time next week I should be street legal. Chris doesn't like it. He's been so excited to see me enjoying the bike. He couldn't wait to get me in a leather jacket. He's trilled that I'm starting to accept the bike... but now he's getting really worried because the time is almost here that I'll be able to ride it alone, far, far away from him. He's starting to wring his hands. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

You'll enjoy the classes, and you will learn a lot from them too. I had a lot of fun in the classes, and met a lot of people. A lot of them were really young, I felt like their mother! It was weird though, they all hung around me and talked and we had a great time. Make sure they give you a certificate so that you can take it to the Harley store and they will give you a certificate to spend with them for $50.00. You will be able to buy yourself something you really want!
