Dear VTwin Mama,
I noticed several letters on the Ridley Autoglide. I've owned one since April 2003 and just love it. I'm 5'3" and have a short leg and arm reach. I also have arthritis from several old job related injuries as a NYC police officer. 

The Autoglide has a low center of gravity, is well balanced and with the footboards, standard or the optional forward controls it can easily accommodate any height or leg length. It can be a bit pricey for some but the fun of just letting loose with the throttle and no shifting makes it well worth it. I'm ashamed to say I'm fairly heavy but the Autoglide at 700cc has such power you would think it was a much larger bike. I don't feel I will outgrow it's strength or performance any time soon. Anne

Dear Anne,
Over the years there have been a number of inquiries into auto trannie bikes, which is why I finally segmented them onto their own page! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights on why this bike works for you, including a medical condition (so I'll post this on my new disabilities and medical conditions page). P.S. Please ever be ashamed of your weight with the VTwin Mama sisters -- we are a forum for insight and support and we count ourselves lucky to have the many blessings (and trials and tribulations) that constitute an honest stab at a happy life. – Mama
