Sorry I missed all the fun! I just checked the board this evening and saw your message.
Good news is my wife (and I - she wouldn't do it without me) successfully completed the MSF class at the Honda Rider Education center this weekend (Fri-Sun). I HIGHLY recommend this class for anyone who hasn't done it - or if you have, as a base refresher. Great experience! Plan to take the advance class next year. Next purchase? ... a "matching" set of Harleys.
