Couldn't remember if I'd ever sent you a pic
of my "new" bike. Well, I've had it a while now, but YOU
haven't seen it .. right??? It's an '02 1100 Shadow. I call
her Smoke. She got the name honestly. I'd changed the pipes
(to Hard Krome - they sound great!), and she started backfiring .. not too
awful, but after a while it got annoying. So I went ahead and had
her jetted. --- Barb

Here's my latest ride, a 2003 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic. Fourth bike for
me and I love it. Am however, thinking of trike conversion someday. Thanks
for your great site and looking forward to another year of newsletters.

I've been visiting this site since I found it back in January of this year
(2004). I love this site. It has helped me so much with a myriad of
problems I've had. I saw all these amazing women pictured with their
machines and I figured I've got one too. Why not share? Soooo here
she is! She's a 2003 Yamaha VStar Classic 650cc.She's my first and I'm in
love. There are so many things I want to do to her but all in due time. --

Attached is the picture of me and my sweet Greta. She is a
2001 Lowrider. I am 48 years old and have been riding for just over two
years and I am addicted! I can't ride enough! Your website is absolutely
wonderful! Thanks for the insight and guidance you give us all! -- Sandy

This
weekend my husband's bike (ST1100) turned over hundred thousand miles --
he wanted to take a picture going 100mph as it was turning 100,000 miles.
So I said nope, not without me. I rode on back and took the picture at
118mph. I know it’s crazy, but now you understand my need for a little
more power. -- La Faye (TuG -- Thank U God)

What is that surprised look on my face?! I'm so jazzed that
the VTwin Mama site now has 40,000 hits/month -- a true destination
for women (and men) riders seeking answers, validation, support and a
place to voice their opinions. Three years and running . . . I'm just so .
. . awed! Thank you everyone for your continued support and participation
-- VTwin Mama, aka Petra

A mutual
friend (Kevin, Sydney Australia) directed me to your site. I'm
also a new rider (BMW850R) and was excited to find a site for us...to
share info and ideas from female perspective.
Thanks for
providing such a great forum-have attached a photo of my pride and joy!

This is a picture of me and my '04 Sportster
1200 Custom, taken at Bike Week in Daytona. It's my first Harley,
and my second bike. I'm 40, and took up riding last August. I
can't believe how much fun I'm having and how much I've learned. I'm
really looking forward to more trips on the Sporty, too. Thanks,
V-Twin Mama, for such a great site for women bikers! -- Lili

This is me, Put Put, the big blonde on a S &
S Stroker 102 cubic inch 96 horses, and my husband, Scarecrow on
another S & S Stroker, 112 cc with 102 horses, on a hard tail, they
are custom bikes, but a little to radical for me, for around town
riding.
The other photo is my Honda 750 Honda
Shadow which is my bike of choice and I do ride a lot more. --

I just wanted to upload a picture of my new
bike. I sold my 2003 Vulcan 500 and purchased a 2003 Vulcan Mean Streak.
Cant wait for the spring! -- Robyn

Omigosh . . . who is that masked rider?!?!?!
Why it's VTwin Mama (aka Petra) herself!
So, what's the point you ask? Well, to show that snow bibs are not a
complete tragedy in the "looks" department for winter riding
comfort. Even with full fringe leather jacket and gloves!
By the by, that's my dog Zoe -- who would not stop jumping on me for
this pic (but wouldn't get near me in full gear!).

Hello girls. We are Nadine and Lara. We
are 'biker birds' living in London, United Kingdom, we love this site.
I've been riding for a year and have
just had my first and I pray LAST motorbike accident.
July 22, I'd had my new Honda Magna 3
weeks. On our way to work some idiot car driver tried to cut thru 2
lanes of traffic without checking to see if it was clear. It wasn't and he
didn't see me coming up the inside lane. You should have seen the
look on his face when he realised his mistake and saw me hurtling towards
his passenger side-door at 30mph.
On impact my female bits were thrown
forward onto the bike's tank, I broke my pelvis in 4 places, fractured
both hips and my labia swelled to the size of a very large cucumber.
As for my pillion passenger Lara, she flew 10-20 feet in the air and over
his car, breaking her back when she landed. We were damn lucky.
Lara's got a compressed back and thankfully won't be paralysed. I've
got a stainless steel plate holding my pelvis together and my fractured
hips have healed quite nicely thank-you. We'll be back to full
health just in time for Christmas.
The accident really shook me up and has
made me doubt whether or not I will go back on a motorbike. However
after finding your website and seeing that there are other female
riders out there with the same passion for motorbikes. I feel
inspired and more confident about getting back on a motorbike.
Sadly I won't be riding my Honda Magna as
she suffered a painfully cruel death at the hands of the evil destroyer.
If it weren't for the Magna I don't think I'd be here telling you about my
accident, she saved me. The Magna is a great bike and I'm gutted I won't
be able to replace the one I lost. But that's ok, I'm alive and
well. I also still have my Suzuki Savage LS 650! I didn't get chance
to sell her and I hope that she'll provide me with the protection needed
for riding the mean streets of London.
Here are pictures of Lara and I
on the Magna a few weeks before the accident and a picture of the Magna
after the accident.
I'm also including a pic of my baby Savage.
Ride safe Sisters. -- Nadine and Lara. xxx

I recently got a 2003
low-rider and, although I've ridden since I was 6, haven't done a lot of
"fixing-up" over the years. I'm so excited that I've been
riding more and making small changes on my bike. It has been SO
helpful to look through your questions and answers about other gals
experiences of doing their own work. Thanks so much for doing this!
Here's a pic of me and the low-rider...weeeee! -- Starla
