I'm a girl, AND I ride a BIG, FAST motorcycle
I used to think that I was unique, but nowadays I'm seeing more and more women on motorcycles. That's how it should be.
This lens is devoted to women who ride motorcycles, and will highlight stuff made especially for them, including bikes that are particularly well suited for a woman.
And please visit my new site: Her-Motorcycle.com -which is totally devoted to women motorcycle riders! Let's not let the men have all the fun, huh?

My fiance rides and he can't wait to teach me. Unfortunately he's deploying in about a week and he'll be gone for 7 months.
He did give me one lesson, but the bike was so heavy that i dropped it. 0.o
Thankfully the only damage was a snapped off tip of his clutch lever. Which was already bent from other accidents. haha.
I'm really excited about when he gets back, though. I've always wanted a bike, but being the girl in my family it was never an option....tough cheese for them.

Welcome to my lens(es). I've developed a bit of an addiction to Squidoo, probably because I'm addicted to lists and love to research stuff. ...
