Ain't important...as long as it's SAFE. I'm a bit too old now to have to worry 'bout this 'n that.  I been ridin' close to 35 yrs, and my bike of choice is still a Harley-Davidson SPORTSTER.  I fit them, and they...fit me.  And here in Jax, that barterin' you talk about and know, up yonder?  Is non-existent, here in the SOUTH.  It's dog-eat-dog down here, Brother. Sad to say.  Not sayin' a Brother won't STOP for another on the road...  But therein, lies the rub,  and one that's always been my curse.  I'm NOT a "BROTHER"...I'm a Mother. Feel me? (spellin' notwithstanding)  And I've been a ridin' "baby", since before most of the rider's today...were babies.  When a LONE ridin' Momma, was tokened, a "Road Whore".  Things are diff'rnt, and that's all good.  And I'm...    less

Started with a chopped Sears mini-bike. A Honda 90 Trail broke my collarbone on a badly done jump, then there was the Honda 305 Scrambler (loved that bike), a 650 Triumph I bought for a hunnerd bucks and a sheath knife. She was the first 'Bike in a Box' I built. No frame so I found one and made her a sweet, rigid chop. Right-foot shift, left-foot brake and a 12" over girder front end. Then the 750 Triumph chop another 'Bike in a Box', rigid frame with pull-backs and a 14" over Glide front end.    I graduated to a Harley when I bought a 57/67 Pan/Shovel... Bliss! Aman Saviour Frame with 5 degree rake neck, 14" over (homemade) springer and as fast as I've ever gone on a motorcycle... 127 mph (radar, but that's another story). I have ridden friend's sportbikes and had a BLAST on them. Ridden several dirt bikes, 125-450 cc and have abso-freekin-lutely loved every...    less

Since my only real experience with California and west of Texas consists of 2 months of basic training at Ft. Ord back in '72 (still have nightmares about eating ice plants low crawling through the sand), what I'd appreciate is having him come to this site and over the next few months you guys living in the areas where...    less

Especially when I am riding, and I see something that we both saw during our ride together. Out ride lasted 10 days, and she was an excellent tour guide. See you again my darling Tumbles in the next life.

O'k this happened to me Vulcan riders across the USA and the world told me how bad the seat was. Did i listen?..of course not. I knew better..4 days constant riding I needed a gel pad.

   Would anyone ride with a gay biker?  I have a legit reason for asking this because I am one myself. And I am looking for friends and riding partners. Dont worry I am in a relationship and am not looking or anything.  I was just wondering
