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.

My friends thought I was crazy when I told them I was going to ride a scooter to Las Vegas to attend my first scooter rally. “That will take forever!” and “You wont be able to take any stuff with you!” and “Youll get blown all over the road!” they said. Honda proves them all wrong with the Silver Wing rightfully touting it as a touring machine that just happens to be a scooter.

I have been riding since 1986. My first bike was a Kawasaki ZR750, a bike I just loved. In fact, I promised myself I wouldnt trade it in unless I found one that was liquid-cooled and that I had to have. I had to have the 2003 Kawasaki Z1000.

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.
