She Did it!! My Wife BOUGHT HER FIRST MOTORCYCLE, and It's a 2021 Can-Am Ryker 600

[@TheBorderRyker]

Congratulations, and welcome to the Ryker family. You’re gonna have so much fun! With a little practice they are the most incredible machines. I found it very weird to start with, but now I will not be parted from my wonderful Ryker! Very soon you’ll find that you are ryding without thinking about it and everything feels so smooth. Have Fun and Ryde Safe 🙏🏻😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The fuel funnel is for refueling from a Gas Can. It's not intended for filling up at a pump. And you shift it buy putting the Bottom Arch of your foot on the shifter and swinging your leg back or forward. No need to apply the park break just be stopped preferably with your right foot on the break pedal. It's simple to operate my wife and I have owned our Rallies since spring of 2019. She Will Absolutely love riding it as long as You don't make it complicated for her. This is from a fellow longtime rider and a Ryker rider for a few years. And a man that has been Married to the SAME woman since 1987. You have to use the KISS method and make sure she feels comfortable and happy 👌👍👍😎

[@RobertsRideAlong]

She's too short to shift it into reverse while seated, but she's figuring it out. Thanks for the tip on the funnel.

OMG!! PPE!! And first thing you both need to do is read the Owners Manual. Setting the park break and getting Off the bike to Handshift was Painful to Watch. By doing things improperly like shifting it is going to make her think it's confusing and difficult to ride. She Will loose intrest and it will sit instead of being ridden Really Sad that even the guy at the Dealership didn't know even the basic 💩 about the bike 😢

[@RobertsRideAlong]

We actually wore our helmets around town. She just didn't wear it in the parking lot. She is so short she can't reach the reverse with her foot so she has to dismount. She hadn't had much time to play around and learn the bike when the video was made, but we are both more familiar with it now. Thanks
