Why So Much Pink Womens Motorcycle Riding Gear?
I like being the passenger. Just started on a Harley-Davidson trike. Can you you help? I am having difficulty getting on and off. There is a small sissy bar between myself and the driver, and one behind me.
Passenger Has Question About Mounting/Dismounting a Trike
Two years ago I dropped the bike and totally lost my confidence. So I went back to riding on the back. My question is how can I get the confidence to get back on a bike? Maybe a trike would be better. Any suggestions?
Advice For Getting Back on Motorcycle After Dropping It
Im not finding much information on bikes for bigger women. Im just at 6 feet and weigh 250 pounds. Went to a Harley-Davidson dealership last week and the most comfortable motorcycles for me, with long legs and long arms, were all Big Twins. The smallest bike I could deal with was the Harley Fat Bob, but again, should I be starting off with a 103 cu. in. engine?
“Bigger Woman” Has Question About First Motorcycle
Im a 21-year-old Kenyan who has been brought up in a very conservative family. My parents are against the idea of me wanting to be a biker, despite my enthusiasm and passion for machines. Also in my home country around 99.99 percent of bikers are male. Any words of encouragement before I start my classes this December?

Someone mentioned the Suzuki may be too heavy for me. Im 5 feet and about 105 pounds. Dont know if that makes a difference. Any advice appreciated!

Looking for the Right Motorcycle for Me
Two years have gone by since I ran off the road for no apparent reason. I have not ridden on my own since my accident, but have been on the back a few times. My question is, how many of you still have anxiety when you get on your bike after an accident? Did you start off with short distances or just get on and ride 100 miles?
