| Hi. I'm Marie E Manigo and I'll be 53 July 1st. I'm 5 foot tall weighting in at 200lbs. I'm from Western Kentucky. I have a 2004 Honda Silver Wing. I have never operated a scooter or motorcycle in my life, but I want to learn. I have oodles of questions. |

| Welcome Marie. If you've never ridden a motorcycle before you're bound to find the SW rather heavy. It may take a little time to learn the SW's balance and centre of gravity.
There are plenty of 'you tube' videos out there to teach you how to 'man-handle' your M/C and please don't be afraid to ask anything here on the forum.

| Welcome Marie I don't want to sound negative but please find a riding school first and do some training with them on something smaller. The silverwing is not a good machine to learn the basics on, it's too heavy, too fast and too expensive to repair when it falls over. But do learn to ride, it's the best feeling ever  |
