Here's a pic of me on my bike. I got it last month. It's a new 2006

ride it much yet, but so far am loving it. -- Yolanda

Hi Petra,
Just a photo of my finished Shadow Cruiser, I have not been able to do
much riding over the past couple of months because here in England it
rained , then it rained, and finally rained some more, the only option for
me was to start customizing, and here's the result. I think its great when
I go to the local supermarket, many guys of my age (67) look at my bike
and clearly would like some, their problem is ,they have written
themselves off, my response is, go for it while you can, I wish I did it
earlier.
I bought a DVD from the States "Ride
like a Pro" its from the Florida police department and its helped
me with a slow riding problem I had, the training seems to be mainly for
Cruisers. hope it helps others.
Regards, -- Tim in the UK

After thinking and testing everything from another Honda to Harley's I
decided on the new Yamaha Star 1300 (named Yama Mama). WOO HOO! I haven't
ridden her that much for "fun" yet and we are still getting used
to each other. She has her little "quirks" and we are still
trying to find our comfort zone together.
I admit that it was hard for me to give up my '04 Honda Shadow
Aero 750, or the "Little Honda that Could" as she came to be
known amongst my friends. She was a GREAT BIKE and I loved her! But I
guess that it was time. But for now, I'm loving my new ride!!
3rd picture is me and my friend Cathy; 4th picture is me and my friend
"The Countess."
See you on the road! -- Gloria in So. Cal.

I purchased my Rebel 250 new in 2004 for $2,900 and just turned it in for
almost $2,000. I had wonderful times learning to ride at age 60 years. --

Just wanted to share pics of the chaps Ace
High Leathers did for me and also send along a pic of my Sporty
with crash bars for the lady whose dealership told her crash bars don't
look right on a Sportster.
Thanks to Joe Rocket and Ace High Leathers I am totally color
coordinated at all times. -- Dorathy

I am a Harley rider with a husband who rides a Triumph (Sprint ST).
The bikes are so different and Harley and Triumph are like two
different cultures, but we all love the same thing, don't we - the
freedom and exhilaration of the ride. -- Jody

I had to share my newest ride with you. A Suede Blue and Vivid Black
Harley Sportster 1200L. Her name is "Baby Girl" and she is
awesome. My hubby is also pictured with his new Triumph Tiger! -- Susan in

I'm sending you a picture
of me and my practice bike and I am starting to feel that I on my way to
becoming a V-Twin Mama! This is Gidget and she is a great learning
bike, my Honda 1986 Rebel. I'm learning so much from her and my beau
who bought her for me. -- Tempe (aka Baby Steps)

I finally have some pictures to add to my bike
review for my '99 HD Hugger! One is of my bike (my pride and joy!) and
the other is me with our dog, "Blackie" (who always has to be in
the picture) I took these on New Year's Eve day after we went on a short
25 mile ride.
Here's to a happy and safe new year! -- Lisa in

I'm quickly closing in on the 500 mile mark (2007 Dyna
Street Bob FXDB). One other
thing, I did get some new pipes on my Harley bike. Vance & Hines 'Big
Radius'....Wow! They sound great (not too loud...just deep bass and only
real loud when seriously rolling on the throttle). Mostly, they look
really cool I think. Between the pipes and the forward controls, I'm
feeling pretty cool every time I ride. -- Richard

I'm sending in another picture of me and my bike (the one
on the right), with me in my spaceman suit, aka longjohns, fleeces, and
leathers. My husband thinks I look funny in my helmet liner, but I don't
care. I'm just tickled pink to be out there. -- Linda C.

I also just turned 50 and
took the MSF course and started riding on June 18 of this year (my 2004 VStar
650). I removed the custom pipes and added Vance and Hines pipes. I also
added a
Memphis
windshield, running boards, crash bars and am now looking for a set of
saddle bags to enhance the features.I absolutely love it. I also am a
short 5’ ˝”. I have never felt
such freedom. I admire all the women
that are taking charge of their lives and hitting the pavement with such a
sense of pride. Go ladies!!!!!!!!!!! -- Pat

My friend Marty surprised me the other day with these
photos. Please say hi to Marty's paternal grandparents!
This picture was taken in Neenah, Wisconsin in 1918. Miles Baer had just
come back from France and bought this Harley-Davidson. With him is
Margaret Weinmann . . . and while they were still dating when this photo
was taken, they eventually married. Can you see her smile?! The story is
that Miles taught Margaret to ride . . .
Yes, it's a 45 degree V-twin! 61 cu in (1000cc), the
model 11F (although in some books it was simply called the F model or the
61F), which was produced from 1909-1921. Marty wishes the bike was still
in the family . . . well, who wouldn't?!?!

So -- here I am, 50 years old with a new V-Star 650 Classic, my very
own first motorcycle (600miles since I bought it).
My flame-painted bike is a new '02 model that was part
of a group of custom painted bikes that were crated and shipped around the
country to various bike shows for the first part of their lives.
Mine didn't even have gas in it until I bought it just before Labor Day
this year. I got a good deal on it, considering the custom paint and
ostrich seats, and the extra chrome. I did have to put the
windshield on it though. -- Patty

I did go ahead and purchase the VStar 650; I fell in
love with it and she and I just fit. I got my permit, practiced,
practiced, practiced, and loved every minute of it! I took the MSF
course at the end of September and passed! I am now a happily
licensed motorcyclist. -- Karma

Here's me with my 1996 Suzuki LS650 Savage. I know I'm not
in proper riding gear (unless you consider flip-flops suitable) but this
was just a couple of hours after we brought my bike home (in mid-August)
and had given it a good wash and polish. I hadn't even taken it for a ride
yet, but I was so excited to get it that I insisted my husband move it
over to the sidewalk for a few pictures.
The second photo is of me and my friend Lorraine on her
1997 Honda Shadow 600VLX. We met in our motorcycle course back in the
spring, and this was the first time we got to ride our bikes together.
We're already planning a road trip for next year. -- Vikki

My 2001 FXDL Dyna Lowrider. I'd like to say to all the
petite girls out there that riding a big bike is not impossible! I am
barely 5 feet tall and I never thought I would be able to handle a Harley
Davidson. Then this motorcycle came up for sale and when I looked at it, I
thought to myself...I can do this. And with a few modifications, I did it!
I'm driving my own H-D. -- Louise

I sat on the Honda VTX 1300 Retro and knew it was the one.
The bike I ended up with has 4" pull back risers, which is a must.
The seat is nice and wide. It's a comfortable ride with the floorboards.
The Honda is a bit heavier, but the extra weight can be welcome on a windy
ride. Although it is a tad heavy, it is still easy to lift up.
I'm 52 years old and have been riding for 30 years. I'm
5'4 and am easily flat footed on the Honda. I don't have much upper body
strength either. -- Carole, Springfield Illinois

Here's a picture of me and my Vulcan 500 taken after a
marathon ride on Sunday.
I just got a couple of pictures of my partner Janet
(with her matching Vulcan 500). She insisted that I make sure to get her
boots in the picture as she is very smitten with them. I actually think if
she hadnąt found these boots she might not have even cared to continue
with the motorcycling after that "oopsie" moment I mentioned.

This is my 1995 Suzuki Intruder 800. The first picture
shows the bike in her current state. The second shows me on the
bike, but not the Leatherlyke bags. -- Biketrash (boring name: Linda)

My '06 1200L: had the HD store lower the forks and put the
lower shocks on the back (it lowered my bike about 2"), replaced
the stock seat with a solo HD Brawler (I am almost flat footed now),
and also had forward controls put on. I'm 5'2" as well and it
really made the world of difference I needed to feel comfortable.
Here I am goofing off, getting ready to ride, and a
great group of "Guys" who have been so patient with me and
mentoring me along the way. -- Tami
