Here, finally, is that picture I promised months ago!
This was taken up by Port Gamble on the northwest tip of the
Kitsap
Peninsula
in
Washington
State
. That’s the
Hood
Canal
with part of the Olympic Peninsula behind us. Not only am I lucky
enough to have this awesome bike to ride (’97 Honda Valkyrie), I get to
ride through some of nature’s most beautiful scenery! -- Amy in
Washington

I went ahead and bought the bike, and so far am LOVING IT!
I got a 2000 Big Dog Pitbull, candy apple red, only 1100 miles with a 107
inch motor and she SCREAMS! Had her out last Sunday for a full 60
miles, and I did hit ONE nasty bump in the road, and it did rattle me a
little. Otherwise, the ride was good and the bike handles really
well. I even called Big Dog Motorcycles out of Kansas and they
tracked down a manual for me and are sending it to me free of charge!
How’s that for customer service! -- Tammy Jenkins

Here are a few pictures of my 2001 Kaw.
Vulcun Drifter, Indian Clone. You can't even tell I dropped it, huh?!
I like it a lot. Just will take time before I become a professional bike
rider. Practice makes perfect I always heard. -- Susan Lenz

My 2003 Yamaha V-Star 1100 . . . got some cool stuff
for Xmas: Cobra exhaust slip-ons, so others can HERE ME, lightbar with 2
additional headlights and an engine guard. Also got heated jacket and
gloves for chilly rides up north. Most women want diamonds for Christmas;
but I say keep that and give me more motorcycle accessories! -- Barbara in
Queen Creek, AZ

I
have been riding for 31 years, started at age 12 with my father and
that was all she wrote, I am addicted, been all over the USA and loved
every minute of it, but always on the back. I took the local rider
safety course and got my endorsement last summer, then
started searching for my first bike. I have always ridden
Harleys and for a while a Moto Guzzi, with their owners of course, but had
no clue what to get for myself. I found a beautiful 2001 Yamaha Virago 250
with only 1082 miles for $2000, yep I bought it. -- Melissa

In March of 2002, I took the Motorcycle Safety course
class. At about the time I was completing the course, our Local Harley
dealer contacted us and told us that there was a brand new 2002 Heritage
Soft Tail classic available if we wanted it. Since the summer of 2002, I
have put over twelve thousand miles behind me. This experience has
enriched my life in ways that can't be described. I hope by sharing my
story, that it will encourage other women, no matter how old or how
vertically challenged they are, to pursue their dream of riding their own
bike. Thank you -- Gayle Vickrey

Figured I'd finally get around to sending you a couple
of photos for the site. One of me (Bryna with Sushi at top) and one of
Lynn (with Bucky at bottom). You'll be able to see why we're called,
respectively, the Short Woman and the Tall Woman. LOL -- Bryna

I currently have a Trike Conversion kit on my
2003 Harley Davidson Sportster. It was made by Custom Trikes (small
company) in Bainbridge, GA and is cheaper and more stable than the
Voyager. Contact Buddy Griffin at (229) 246-0762 for more information. --
Shirley in Thomasville, GA

I wrote to Susan about my trike. Enclosed is a
pic of my new one (Valkyrie trike). My husband loves
riding with me on HIS Valkyrie and is very proud of me. I can ride the
biggest bike of all this way! Love your site! -- Vicki Stellato

I am sending you a picture of my new bike! It is a 2005 Dyna
Low-rider that has been lowered for me. I am 50 years old and returning to
riding after a few year's break, after scaring myself. I am very
proud of her! I haven't ridden much yet, but am looking forward to many
rides in the future! Thank you for this website. -- Lee

Thank you for coming up with one of the best sites I read. I have found
so much information here! Here's a pic of me with the Rebel. This has
been the best first riding season I could have hoped for. My greatest
fear when I started was the Bay Bridge -- 4.2 miles of scary metal grill
work. I have now gone over it 4 times and doesn't seem so bad. Just
reading about all things people have overcome has made it seem possible that
I can too. -- Andrea in Ellicott City, MD

I did it!!! I passed the MSF course Sunday and got my
license yesterday! YIPEEE!!! Thank you for your encouragement.
Here's a pic of me on my maiden voyage on my Marauder. You can't see my
smile [oh yes we can when we click on the thumbnail
and enlarge the view!] but it was HUGE! I was amazed that my bike
didn't float to the sky I was so pumped!
Have a blessed day. -- Deb T. in Baltimore

OH MY GOD!!! If
you remember, I ask if you thought a woman would be too small to
handle a Honda Valkyrie. Your reply was go for the Valk!! The
decision was made and it took about 2 weeks to locate one in Dallas . . .
got it over Labor Day weekend. Long story short . . . in one week I have
put on 300 miles, all after work, and never new I could possibly love a
machine sooooooo much. Can't ever remember being this pleased with myself
since I married my husband! Guaranteed -- Sparkle is Sparkling!!!!!!!!!

Hi! I just purchased a Honda 400 automatic transmission

I recently wrote to get advice on
lowering my '02 Sportster 1200c. The front was lowered then
my husband lowered the back. I never would have believed how
much one inch could change my riding. I am happy to report that
I am riding and wanting to ride every minute. Thank you VTwin
Mama, and God Bless...Rose Confident & "Flying" in
OK.
Thank you again VTwin Mama for the information on your
website. This is me riding since I lowered bike....God Bless
everyone....Rose
Note from Mama: Rose is 5'1" and
on her 2002 Sportster 1200
