B-C, it's awesome that your kids noticed how much better your moods were after riding. They're clued in!
One of my daughters just hates that I ride, she fears for my safety and thinks I'm crazy. The other is totally behind me and she actually was the one to finally convince my husband I would be ...

When I ride I just feel like I'm on top of everything, even when I make dumb little mistakes or putt along like the newbie I am.

I have to credit the guy who played Bronson in the television show Then Came Bronson with really getting me turned on to mortorcycles.

I went to ride the other day and had power to the brake and signal lights and horn, but nothing for the starter.
Got the seat off, checked those fuses and one had blown. I replaced it and went out riding, no problem. Not knowing anything about blown fuses (I thought they wore out naturally), my ...

Hi Everyone

I'm new to the site, and new to motorcycling too.
I've been riding for almost a year now, after buying my 1994 Vulcan 500
last summer. My children are finally adults and life is too short not to be doing the things I always dreamed of! I'm strictly a Sunday backroads sort of rider, and love just ...
