My wife is one of those sleepers who took the rider training course got the endorsement and never rode, mostly because she realized that it wasn't for her.

The same for my wife...and I respect her for that decision... :wink:

I was glad she didn't want to ride a bike as she is not particularly good at driving a car.

 There was a time when bikes were greasy unreliable things that needed to be kicked to make them run and ridden by those on the fringes of society....it shoulda stayed that way   :grin:

We'll see how my wife does.  With forced retirement staring me in the face she'll have to start paying for her own gas and at $4,000 per year for tennis-gas a scooter will be looking pretty good to her.

$334 per month for tennis / gas is a healthy hobby!! :rolleyes: :shocked: :huh: :laugh: :grin: :wink:  Better think about part-time work! (lol)  :wink:
