MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: Video Test Ride: V Star 1300

WRN is resurrecting some motorcycle video test rides. Heres one we did on the 2008 V Star 1300, which is a step up in power over the 1100. The 1300 features an all new engine and styling call it the next generation V Star. The motorcycle is extremely smooth and predictable, and considering it weighs about 625 pounds, it moves along like its a much lighter machine.

Catching My Breath

Since I started Women Riders Now two years ago Ive been on a treadmill and the treadmills been running between fifth and sixth speed. For those who regularly use a treadmill you know thats between a jog and a run. Fellow entrepreneurs can relate, Im sure. Running your own business is fulfilling, fantastic, and fanatical. You work more than you play, fortunately motorcycling is a “fun” business so it easily merges with the “play” part of life.
