Yes pictures! It's intimidating I guess for some after time off or when new to things. My wife, an Athena started riding years ago. I invited her to a forum ride (30+ riders from the SoCal forum) back in 05. She was sweating bullets, mumbling, getting mean on me because she was so nervous. She did a few rides with us then next thing you know, she's up in the mountains climbing 3,000 to 5,000 ft zooming down the curvy mountain roads with no problem. Then we hit the trail and she jumps in with the guys no problem.

Yes, take pictures, I like pictures!

Mountain roads and inline with some bike forum members a few yeas back (she's second in line wearing blue)
