Re: Lending / Borrowing Bikes

Perhaps you could use your insurance company as an excuse. If someone else wrecks my bike, I and/or my insurance company has to pay, not the party that wrecked it.

This might be a nice way of telling him "no".

Re: Safety at a Harley Biker Bar

Wow! Change your attitude. What's so different about a HD rider than any other rider? If you ride like a biker you'll get treated like a biker. Harley riders don't care what you ride. The scary ones out there are the BMW riders.........locally, anyway,..... if you don't dress like they do....which I...

Re: I need helpful advice, not post-facto criticism, please

Ooohhhhh......"ride it like a 65 year old woman". You should choose your words more wisely..... I'm a woman rider in my 60's, but, no, I don't ride like one, or whatever you consider one to be. If I did, I'd probably be dead by now. If you don't ride a bit faster, a bit ahead, and ride agg...

Re: Ladies: What was your greatest challenge - learning to r

Ladies, please. Your greatest challenge is to think of yourself as a biker, not a woman. Confidence!! Females can ride bikes just as good as males. Females can ride the same bikes as males. I've been riding for many, many years, but I never thought of myself as a woman on a bike, I think of myself a...
