How to up-armor a V7?

[sincolita]

Kim , that was brilliant . We needed a woman's perspective on this , leaving out the psuedo-macho stuff .

 Oh , you certainly don't look middle aged .

My pleasure and thank you kindly. I definitely don't feel middle-aged, and for that I give most of the credit to my love of motorcycling.

Kim, I'm not sure if you read my post above, buy my daughter is in the transition from "I hope I can learn to do this" to "Let's go for another ride" on the Ninja 250. 

Good on you for being a great dad and best of luck to your daughter!

It's great to hear another success story that involves that amazingly capable motorcycle.

YES! Were I not an urban apartment dweller with limited funds I would have kept the Ninja as a track bike.

Standing outside FBF!

Congrats on the bike. Hope you enjoy.

I love my V7!

Thanks!

I was in a similar situation.  My wife and I (how do you like the English?) both had a sportster but we couldn't ride together for whatever reason.  We've ended up with a Norge and 2 Yamaha XT250s which I've seen mentioned here.  The Norge is for doing the Alaska Highway at some point and the 2 Yams are for riding down logging roads - not dirt biking.  So far we haven't actually been down any logging roads (been too busy wit the Norge) but I'm sure we'll get on fine together on the Yams.  And neither of us want to go dirt biking.

You're almost there.  "My wife and I (how do you like the English?) EACH had a sportster".  If that's what you mean.
