I started down the drive and lost it in the gravel...minor damage to the bike...major damage to my confidence...severe damage to my husband's state of mind... I sold the Sportster and am happy riding as a passenger! She was a beauty tho...don't you think?

Yes she WAS a beauty! I am right there with ya!

I got my license at 40 yrs old, and rode my Honda Twinstar 185 for a couple years. Then I thought I was a BIG GIRL now, and bought a BIG bike for me, a 650. Same thing happened, put her down in my driveway, hurt my elbow, my confidence, and scratched the bike up pretty good. THEN everytime I tried to ride, I would get a panic attack, which I had never had before. No good. Scared my hubby to ride with me. Sold the bike and I bought a Miata convertible instead, and then a few years later, bought a Kawasaki Eliminator (love the name, lol) 125. I have tried to ride again, but I just can't get my confidence back. So that one's going in the newspaper this spring!

I love riding on the back too! Just think! If we didn't ride on the back, who would hold the pups??

Listen, next time I go to the mall, I will pick one up for you, my friend! I need to get Wosie one, too! They are only $10 or so, I think! PM me with your home address when you get a sec, and I will get that to ya!

When I PMed you back, I mentioned we should meet sometime!! Gatlinburg isn't all that far for a day's ride for us! That would be COOL!

Let me chat with my hub about it and I will get back with you!

Girls before you sell off your beautiful bikes, concider one of these new gadgets. My hubby was at the Toronto Bike show and came home with the information on the conversion kit. I have vestibular damage in my ear and it really effects my balance, and he thought this could be a possible solution for me to ride once again. Anyhow check it out.

Very nice !!!!! that is what i'm looking for, i want to get a honda, shadow first to learn on - something lighter and less expensive then i'll work my way up, i'm sick of being the passenger, especially in the summer time, Mike works late hours and i'm off at 3:30 in the afternoon, i have tons of friends to ride with that will watch over me until i get the hang of it,,,, but it's so hard when its 90 outside and the bikes a out and im stuck home

You would have loved my Sporty then! It was definitely a ladies bike! I bought it from a gal out in Oklahoma and sold it to a gal from Indiana. She loved it too! I hated to sell it, but my confidence was so shaken that I just did not want to try anymore. Plus the way my hubby felt...he just could not think of enjoying his ride for worrying about me. If I had been about 20 years younger, I would have stuck it out and learned to ride that bad gal! But at least I get to ride with hubby!!! Hope you find what you are looking for! Have fun and be safe!!!

Love the pic with the Doggles! How cute is that!
What part of Tenn. did you go to? My dad went on a bike cruise a few months ago to ....I think its called Dragon Curve or something like that, 311 curves in about 10 miles or something like that and he hasn't stopped talking about it yet!

Can take some pictures of how you attached the seat harness.

Thanks!!

So I am either gonna have to make him a fleece coat to wear on the bike or he will have to stay home til it warms up some. We got the "DOGGLES" on ebay because I could not find them small enough at Petsmart, but they do carry them. Oscar wears the x-small and he is 7 pounds. We got a seatbelt harness at Petsmart, the one that is nylon and fleece that you use in the car and rigged it up where it will hook to my belt buckle so he won't fall off! He can hear a bike crank up and he goes nuts! Good luck taking Wosie...I bet ya'll have a great time!
