“We are definitely not a motorcycle club,”

I ride with a bunch of guys. We always have breakfast first. We consider ourselves an eating club with a riding disorder.

I'm a Biker Chick. But I can barely hold up my Sportster. I'm more than happy to be driven around comfortably on the back of my hubby's MUCH larger bike 😎

Don’t bother clicking to see the biker “chicks”.

You have been warned.

“I can barely hold up my Sportster”

That’s why trikes were invented. :)

You need more practice, and if you get a chance check out the vlogs/blogs/how-to videos from Valkyriegirl. She rides a Valkyrie (One LARGE bike) and gives tips that work for everyone on how to handle anything with 2 wheels.

I’m 5’7” and rode at 135 pounds. After 2 years I was able to ride anything - even Victory Visions. I rode the the V8 powered “Big Dog” as well. I have a hard time with adventure bikes, but I know how to handle those as well. All using techniques taught by her.

I have a friend who has been riding for 500 years. Seriously, this guy is the best rider in my opinion. He’s 5’1” and he can handle any sized anything with precision and comfort. Every ride I do with him I want to go home and write a book about. It’s purely magical when people who “Simply get it” go for a ride in a group.

But I’ve had female riders in my groups. We don’t make any deal of it at all. The biggest problem I have with women riders is that they choose what their -boyfriend likes- rather than what they like. Just like guns though. They carry on the opinion of the men, and not of themselves. If they did, they would all ride Ninja 250s (Which are some of the most pleasant bikes in the world to simply have fun on)

Nice FXR!

Mine is in pieces all over the back building, waiting on some disposable income.

Not guilty.
