BEST MOTORCYCLE FOR LADIES IMHO

[jake318]

Hello all , I am new but have been riding for roughly 30 years have a stable of 12 motorcycles of ALL types and have owned just about anything you can think of . I am also a widower whos wife liked to ride her own bike.
Something we both definitely agreed on so both got the best experience of motorcycling .

ANYHOW...... THE best motorcycle she ever had by far was a ...... RIDLEY AUTO GLIDE.....She could shift but really liked that she could jump on and off the bike with ease like a scooter but it rode like the Harley Soft tail it was based on (same chassis) but had lower seat height, light weight and a pair of soft/hard bags for groceries ect. GUYS/HUSBANDS.... THE ENGINE IS A KOHLER COMMAND V-TWIN CH740 . ...EXACT SAME PARTS AS ON YOUR RIDING MOWER . Simplest engine ever created, you can buy high performance aftermarkey parts CHEAPER THAN OEM ( good prices compared to any harley or Japanese brand) and a BACK YARD MECHANIC CAN FIX WITH EASE . EXAMPLE: to take engine out, install a STROKER crank (for more displacement up to 925 roughly) and re install engine takes about 1.5 hours (instructional video on you tube ) and its not a hard job???
I installed stroker crank in her ridley for long haul touring rides . Still smooth engine being 90 degree v TWIN instead of 45 DEGREE V-TWIN like Harley((AND I HAVE NO ILL WILL WITH HARLEYS . STILL THINK THEY MAKE BEST TOURING BIKE ON THE MARKET. PRICES OF RIDLEYS USED TO BE RIDICULOUS. I BOUGHT MINE A FEW YEARS BACK FOR 6000$ fIT AND FINISH IS SUPERB .....DOWNSIDE.... EPA/TREE HUGGERS RIDLEYS ELECTRONIC INGITION IS CHINESE. If it gives you a problem, take Chinese out replace with old fashion points rotors. You can buy at local mower shop

Look on Craigslist, have your wife test ride one . She will love it . and remember its a KOHLER ENGINE IN A HARLEY SOFT TAIL CHASSIS . pARTS ARE AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE.

PS..... THEN SHE IS HAPPY AND YOU CAN BUY THE NEW BIKE ....YOU ...HAVE WANTED BUT WAS AFRAID TO ASK FOR LOLLOL TAKE CARE

What a strange post. Lol

What a strange post. Lol

I'm not sure, but I think he's a big fan of Ridley motorcycles.

Looks awfully much like spam to me.

[jstark47]

Very strange, considering Ridley went out of business as a new motorcycle manufacturer in 2009. There's still a website out there advertising genuine Ridley replacement parts, but it looks like it hasn't been maintained in a long time.

[NorthernPete]

Time traveling spammer?

[Gummiente]

Boys, there's no links to spam sites or or any website addresses in his post, I think he's just genuinely a fan of the marque.

Love how a guy is trying to button all lady riders in to a single option. Wow. Just, Wow.

But its his only post. Looks like he's just spreading his word to the interweb...

Wait. He's not only lumping all female riders into a single category, he's lumping all males as well. The ladies don't want to shift, and the guys want to buy a new ride, but are afraid to "ask."

no kidding ...

There is nothing about that bike that has any interest for me. Not one thing.
I know how to shift.
I don't want a lawnmower engine.
I'm kinda over cruisers in general.
I'm not petite so I don't need a low bike.
If I had a dude around the house, and he wanted a new bike and could afford it, he wouldn't need permission from me to buy one.

Definitely a weird post ...
