Day 9 Ladies Conga Class with Ride Like a Pro

YOU GO FLO!-I'M ALREADY FAMOUS!!!!!

I"M ON YOUR ASS MOTORMAN!

WE RIDE BETTER THAN BOYS! RLAPERS!!!

I have been here in Florida for 9 days now. Today we had a Ladies Conga Class that the Palladinos put on free for anyone riding the Conga. Unfortunately only Pambliss could make it that will be doing the Conga. That didn't matter though as we had a new gal come out that Doc had met before and she invited her. Leanne is her name. There was of course MM and Doc, then Hippiejohn, Babybiker. Oh ya me!!

It was a great 9th day, I felt like I was going good, and holy shit...Scraaaaping!!! I was following Doc and Babybiker in the exercises and concentrating to stay on her ass, as this is what you have to do when riding in the demos. Which is my next goal!! I was doing it!! I was also keeping up with MM and Doc. I felt relaxed most of the time, and even was smiling.

When I got off the bike a little later, when the time was right, I approached MM and asked him if I was now an 8.25... He said with a smile... You are a nine Flo.... YES... 9 DAYS 9!!!

I could not retain myself I gave him a big hug.

The gal Leanne who only just got her license a couple months ago and is my age, and very very scared and nervous was having a heck of a time.... She had  NO FRICTION ZONE. MM worked with her for awhile and then sent her off with me.

I truly enjoyed working with her and encouraging her that she could do it.. Shit, I swear it was like me back in school. I knew she was filled with fear. I saw the look and numerous times she asked me if she was going to make it. I asked her if she wanted to. More than anything she told me, so I told her she would be able to if she wanted to bad enough.. 

Like Motorman says... It is only 3 things you have to learn... 3... Head and eyes, FRICTION ZONE, and rear brake. Sounds pretty simple and it is once you figure it  out.

She has the same problem as I did, absolutely petrified of the sound of the throttle.

Any way, it was a fantastic day. Me and Doc were showing our stuff going through all the exercises and there was this guy sitting on his bike watching watching. Later BB joined us and the 3 of us were doing it. When we were finished... I started to walk over to help Leanne again. He started walking toward me and said... Excuse me, have I just walked into the famous 

RIDE LIKE A PRO show.. I told him he did, although it was not a show, that we were practicing and showing off. He said to me ...Girl... I have been riding 40 years and I am real confident in my riding skills, well at least I was till I saw you gals. I can see now, I need some work still.  So of course I sent him off to MM.

Pam, BB, Doc, and I went for lunch, and when we were standing in the line up, I could see these 3 guys walk up to the building looking at the 4 bikes. Here we are and we all turn around with our tshirts on that says... I RIDE BETTER THAN BOYS. We all smiled and turned back to the clerk and then they red the back....DEAL WITH IT!! 

I have a feeling this t-shirt would not go over well where I live, but it is quite funny here.
