Bike No. 1 is a 2007 Yamaha V Star 250. This was my first bike. I bought it brand new expecting to ride it for several years. This is a great starter bike. It is lightweight and easy to handle. I did not feel intimidated learning on this bike. The ride was so smooth and easy (though I didnt realize this at the time), and I didnt know that a lot of the bumps on the road were even there.
I ride a 2001 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic and absolutely love it. My husband passed it down to me, and it never lets me down. I have ridden to Alaska and California from my home in Ontario, Canada. My odometer reads 61,250 miles, and I plan to ride it for many more. Long trips and short trips are a joy and comfortable to boot.

The Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider was made for those with a shorter frame. One doesnt sit on top of the bike, one sits comfortably in it, almost hugging it, becoming part of the bike (which is a very secure feeling).

I have been riding since I was 12 years old, primarily on the dirt or on the back, bumping helmets. I decided on my 51st birthday that I wanted a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy—no discussion. With the new wide tires on the 07s, well, I just couldnt pass it up.

I grew up on a moped, but I have been riding a Yamaha 230 dirt bike for about three years, and Ive been riding street bikes since last February. My first bike was a Honda VTX 1300C, which is a great bike, but I just purchased a 2003 Honda VTX 1800R. The main reason I chose the VTX 1800R was because of the looks. Then when I rode it, I fell in love with it.

My name is Stephanie Bertsos (AKA Baby Biker). I just turned 20, and I live in sunny, ride-all-year-round Hudson, Florida. I work in the offices of Ride Like A Pro, which created the Ride Like a Pro Instructional DVDs. After working here for a few months, I decided I wanted to ride a motorcycle for myself.

Ive chosen to ride a 2003 Harley-Davidson Police Road King for many reasons. First, I rode one in a training class and fell in love with the way that it handled. U-turns are a piece of cake, and the twisties are like dancing with the bike.

In April of 2006, I purchased a Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Low. In August of 2008, I upgraded to a 2008 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy. I am only 5 feet tall, so all bikes but the Harley-Davidson Nightster have to be modified for me.
