This first pic is of me when I first rode into work on an April morning.
There I am on my 2004 Shadow Aero, helmet hair and all! But with a grin
from ear to ear!! I was so excited!
The second picture is along Santiago Canyon Road approaching the famous
Cook's Corner. That's me giving the peace sign and thinking . . .
"Look Ma, only one hand!" In truth, my Mother would have
probably freaked about the one hand thing! -- Gloria in Southern

So, Sandy and her husband Mark were at their beach house in Holden Beach,
NC over the Xmas holidays, which is darn close to VTwin Mama's home in
Calabash, NC! VTwin Mama sister Joanne and I rode over on December 24th to
meet Sandy and talk and what a great time we had! Sandy brought along
motorcycle photo albums that were a gas to go through!
That's Sandy on the left in an original
VTwin Mama long sleeve T, Joanne, and then VTwin Mama herself (in a VTM
logo sweatshirt and her 2001 BMW R1200C Phoenix "Bumblebee"
bike in the foreground).

Hi,
I
just wanted to share a picture of my new Hyosung GV650 bike. I am also
happy to report that I already am riding
the
bike to work and back, but I’m still playing it safe.
Have
a nice Christmas.--

Here is a picture of my bike, a 1986 Honda
VT750. It is 'shabby' to quote my husband, who is now intent on
dismantling and doing up and polishing and re-spraying, etc etc and has
told me to 'shhhhhh' when I start to protest! Oh well! The
other machine in the pic is his newly acquired Yamaha 1100 Dragstar. --

I had to send you a picture of what my hubby bought me so I could take the
Rotten with me. This is her very first ride - such a big smile !! -- Paula

letter about doggie carriers and my remark I needed a sidecar to take my
two dogs!)

Like a Pro at the Myrtle Beach, SC Fall Rally booth. In front of us
was a roped off area where Donna and her husband Jerry gave demonstrations
of slow maneuver riding techniques in their training DVDs. What
inspiration!

I thought I would send this photo to you. I have my son and his girlfriend
living with me and each of them have a vehicle. I have a vehicle and both
my son and I have motorcycles. All summer I had my vehicle in the garage
with the 2 motorcycles. Now that winter is coming and we can no longer
park on the street in Oconomowoc we needed to get the cars off the street.
I found the perfect storage for the 2 bikes, that is my living room and my
black lab. All the vehicles are inside and it helps to be able to look at
the bikes all winter. -- Barb

So, that's Petra (VTwin Mama) with her Bumblebee 2001 BMW R1200C Phoenix,
Joanne with her purple VStar 650 and Liz and her Suzuki Intruder Volusia
800. We stopped by HD Spokes after a wonderful ride to the Pee Dee State
Park in SC. What a beautiful day it was!

her riding. I am parking (pic #2)and she is riding (pic # 3). --

I bought a
2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 a few weeks ago after selling my beginner Virago
250. This has been a great next level bike (or as I joke my "big girl
bike").

-Debadged
entire bike
-Installed
Corbin Young Guns saddle
-Added
chrome fender tips on both fenders
-Added
chrome piping (trim) around fenders and tank
-Installed
chrome license plate mount and cover, and attached using Jolly
Roger bolts & amber reflectors
-Covered
large bolt holes under seat with buttons that have the Jolly Roger
on them
-Attached a
Jolly Roger brooch (custom jewelry) to back of sissy bar (can you tell
I'm working towards a Jolly Roger/pirate theme)
-Replaced
headlight bulb with Kuryakyn Blue Light
-Added
chrome ribbed tire valves
-Attached
Formotion temperature gauge
-Installed
chrome visors to all turn signals & headlight
-Attached chrome "Road Kill"
emblems to front fender - LOL love them!

should have gotten the Jumbo)
And believe
me I have way more to do on my list ;-) -- Jodi in South Central

This is my Goldwing Trike. Alotta
people with Gold Wings have slogans painted across the tour box, "Our
Dream", "Bob & Susan", etc. With all that
tread it's hard to miss the road kills, so I put "Squirrel Squasher"
across my tour pak (third pic). It usually gets a laff. -- Lisa

Here is the beast I could not tame.
In learning to ride it, I proved quite lame.
I spent some time on a smaller ride,
And in so doing likely saved my hide.
I rode the little one every chance I had;
Though about the beast I still felt bad.
Now, the size of it seemed much more striking,
Until I made some changes to MY liking.
Now on the beast I've spent all season.
Not to ride? I have no reason.
I love being out in the wind and sun.
Damn, this is just too much fun!

Ok, here's VTwin Mama, aka Petra, at the Ride for Adult Education fund
raiser . . . 100 mile ride out of Hamlet, NC. That's me in the black top
to the right, third rider back, with VTM sister Phoenix right in front of
me. We're coming out of the local winery, where the whole group of about
100 riders made a stops.
And that's Phoenix and myself at the registration desk. See my VTwin
Mama long sleeve T?! -- Mama

I am the lady that had the Vulcan whose husband got very upset over it and
I did sell it. He was a part of my buying this bike and he also loves it.

Just thought I'd send you a pic of my bike,

Here's my 2004 BMW R1200C Montauk. This was taken during one of our scenic
moment stops on the Lake Superior Circle Tour. Canada was a beautiful
trip in spite of the graffiti on the rocks. Some did have a good message
though -- check out the second picture!
The bag strapped to the back seat is Kuryakyn's Grand Tour bag. Great
bag, but poor design on how the D rings attach to the bag itself (for the
straps to secure it to the bike) I had to supplement with bungies. It's a great
bag anyway. It looks small, but holds a lotta stuff. I also got the
largest saddlebags BMW makes for their now discontinued cruiser line. What
a wonderful ride. I absolutely love my Montauk!
Thanks again for such a great site! Take care and ride safe! --
