I chose this bike because I tried holding up my husbands friends Shadow, and it felt like something I could handle as a beginning rider. It was probably a little big for me to start with. I dropped it twice on my first day riding on my own, but keep in mind I had never ridden any kind of motorized two wheeler.

I own two motorcycles. The first one my husband and I purchased was a 2008 Harley-Davidson Nightster 1200. We bought this bike in May 2008 after I signed up to take the Riders Course, which I completed and passed in June 2008. I had never ridden a bike before this except on the back with my husband.

Falling temperatures can put the chill on the journey for some motorcycle riders. One way to extend your riding season is by wearing heated gear.

The Sportster line is considered Harley-Davidsons entry level family of motorcycles because the bikes are smaller in size and in engine displacement than the rest of the Harleys and the price is lower. Because of that, many first time riders gravitate to a Sportster.

Black motorcycle jackets are a dime a dozen, so when I find a leather jacket thats not black, Im all over it. The one that caught my eye this time is a very dark brown, vintage-style, mid-weight leather jacket called the Dame made by River Road. If you like black, though, River Road offers that color as well.
