Way to go Kris! :thumbup:

[FoxyLady]

Can someone add a map?!?!?! I have no idea what you're talking about :(

[MarineHawk]

Its a local interstate, Jane getting up to freeway speeds (again) is a big deal and outstanding. :D

Yeah and on top of that it was about 10:00 at night so it was dark for her too. :thumbup:

I can tell before you and Eric turned up the on ramp that you were taking some big breaths there. Good job, another first hurdle you've gotten over :rad:.

Let me re-cap ! In view of all that you have been through with your accident 2 years ago. It thing you do is a miracle ! Words escape how I feel about it..Yeah, I'm speechless except to say that I can identify with it in the part of just riding beyond the Island always got my heart pumping.

I really mean it. For us, its mostly highway either way and the worst part bout it is that there are alot of fender benders by the bridge side any given week..;-( . It would scare me to go north even driving a car. That going north by bike was a major hurdle for me.

And now that I changed bikes again. I'm yet to ride her beyond our street .


BTW, Brian, she had some issues before she even got her helmet on...

I think she deserves REP points BIG TIME !!!!

:wow8: HOLY S**T Jane good job :thumbup:

[Lady Orion]

:thumbup: :rad: Way to go JH!!!!!

So, is there a coast ride this wknd? I obviously can't go...helps to have a RIDE...but I know Orion has got a big itch to go.:ride:

[Flyte Risk]

I think Nathan summed it up best when you pulled up and he wasn't sure who was on the bike behind Eric. I believe his comment was "Holy Shit! Is that Jane?"

[CaptainKidd]

Oh I know that but she did get it on and we went up the road til we hit the on ramp. I was in the left lane next to her and Eric because I just needed to keep heading up Foster to my house. I was looking over at them and could tell she was saying some prayers and getting ready to head up the ramp. Kuodos!

There is a story somewhere ( sorry I forgot but ask I'm sure Jane Honda will tell you where to find it.) of what had happen to her 2 years ago. Its not only the freeway but, riding in Portland . She says it better in her own words.

Be prepared to have tissues on hand.:(

Um I was kinda expanding just to not exclude anyone who might not know. its not that it was the I 205. It was that Kris was on her bike riding from Canby to Portland via I-205...I have no doubt that she was hitting it ! :rad: :ride: Thats my Ninja Sista !:thumbup:

[Flyte Risk]

Actually it was Eugene

Thanks, Flyte for the link. It helped me understand exactly what was going on. As for JH, it's an amazing thing getting back up on that horse after being kicked in the teeth and for that I applaude you. Very much so.:bow:
Way to hang tough.:thumbup:

[Jane Honda]

Thanks you guys.

The last few days have been kind of hard on me, yesterday I was feeling normal again. I don't know why they were rough, but they were.

I think its the fact that I faced a pretty huge scary thing to me. The whole time I was on the freeway, I kept seeing and hearing the Gixxer. I remembered a lot of things that I pushed hard to forget. I guess I need to face them to deal with them. I was holding on to something and letting it go at the same time.

Yeah, NK, before we got on the bikes, I was pretty well scared to death. I was having one of my old fashioned anxiety attacks. I trust my little Ninja though, and once I get on it and feel it running, I calm right down. That bike is a HUGE source of comfort and happiness for me. And, Kidd, I was basically praying before we got on the onramp. Not sure to who. LOL NOT going on the onramp wasn't an option. Once I set my mind to something, I don't back down. When something scares me, I have to face it because it pisses me off. I know I have to face my fears eventually, but when I am ready. I want to face them with a clear mind to open that can o' whoopass they so deserve.

I love riding too much to give it up. Riding has been who I grew up to be. And, it shapes who I am today. I won't be out stunting or showing off. I ride because I love it.

:rad: can of whoopass is what fear deserves...:hug: I knew I saw that familar look.( the look I had before we when up this one hill that about had me want to walk the bike up the hill.But instead took one deep breathe and a whole lot of throttle !.lol.) But also know that you have the mind and strenght to kick ass ! :yes:

[MarinesBiatch]

I already told you in that text I sent you about ten minutes ago, but I'm so proud of you Kris! That's a HUGE step in the right direction. I hope I can be as brave as you someday.... I put on a face, but I'm not as strong as I look. :hug: Keep up the awesome progress!
