“Bigger Woman” Has Question About First Motorcycle

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?

Encouragement Needed Before Taking Motorcycle Class

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?

Need Advice: Getting Back on Bike after an Accident

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.
