    	I agree, riding alone can be great fun! I've never had a riding
    partner and have done all my long rides solo. Hopefully I'll be able to
    lay my hands on a motorcycle when I need it this summer (my brother
    will have my Ninja and my father-in-law has a Honda Magna 700cc that's
    in nice shape). I love to ride, but the expense of owning a
    crotch-rocket is killing me!

    	Guess I better send in my registration , huh????  So, I keep
    forgetting to send it in....  Oh, well.
    
    	Now maybe I'll get motivated to ride it more this year.  I can be
    such a wimp sometimes.....  But I do like to *buddy* ride.  I just feel
    a little bit safer with all those crazies out there.  The drivers will
    come up along side of me and stare at me like they've never seen a
    "girl" on a bike before, JEEZ!!!!!
    
    	And my leather matches my bike too....  Now if I could only fit
    INTO my leather, it'd be all set!!!! hehehehehe  I think I'll get a
    pair of those leather jumpsuits for the cool evenings....  mmmm yup,
    that's what I'm agonna do.....
    
    	Now, does anyone wanna contribute to my fund?  hehehehe  ;^)
    
    	So, who else out there has a bike that wants to do some ridin'?
    
    	This is a good idea Jt.... maybe we'll be able to do a weekend run
    sometime too.  (Like I have spare time....)  Well, during the DAY I
    have *some* spare time.... The weeding and mowing can wait for, um, for
    well, it can just wait!!!!  hehehehehe  ;^)

    	it ISN'T all that common to see a woman riding a motorcycle my
    dear. I know quite a few, but the males definitely outnumber the
    females. Must be a testosterone thingy....;*)

    RE: cages staring....
    
    Yup >M< I had the same problem....people would drive by and stare so
    long they would swerve at me - it doesn't bother me like it use to now
    - I'm just more aware than ever.
    
    I have a black bike and a black leather with pink and purple beads on
    it....I'll be hitting DEsjardines this week to put some chaps on
    layaway.
    
    When it comes to solo riding the furthest I've gone is to Maine and
    back and I've put thousands of mile on the back roads of western MA and
    been to Boston many times....
    
    The longest group ride was to Washington D.C. and I've doen sevral
    "Poker Runs" with hundreds of bikes.
    
    I like to hit places like Kimball's (frozen yogurt) in westford or 
    PC Dreams (for clams) in hudson on lunch runs.  My ex-boyfriend (he
    works in SHR) use to meet at PS Dreams often - though he was hooked on
    his convertables and didn't ride his bike much last year.  
    
    Jt

    
    
    	I've hit PC Cremes (not dreams is it?) a bunch of times when out
    riding in the summer....it was especially good on 2nd shift when the
    day way starting to cool off a bit.
    
    	Make sure if you're planning a ride you tell me!! :*)

    >> Make sure if you're planning a ride you tell me!! :*)
    
    Thats why I started this note - kind of an announcement type thingie
    too.
    
    Creams...dreams....whatever :^}

    While in Michigan I saw a Purple Trike... (VW Conversion) with a 
    Woman Riding it.  WOW!  She was wearing all Purple, except for
    the long hair.  Those Mid-thigh boots were really nice looking.
    
    
    Dave�

    
    
    	and a double WOW.....
    
    
    chico

    Ah yes - the opposite sex......nothing like riding to a rally or
    benefit and being one of only a dozen or so women in a crowd of hundreds
    of men in leather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    YUM 
    
    8*)
    

    
    
    haha....I didn't think you'd mind that....;*)
    
    
    chico

    
    
    	mmmmmm men in leather....  mmmmmmm
    
    	something to think of...
    
    
    
    	ahhhhh the smell of it!!!
    
    	aahhhh the feel of it.....
    
    	oops, a little carried away here.
    
    
    	SO, my friends... when is the first ride (hahahah...got out of THAT
    	rathole...hehehehehe)
    
    	>M<

    
    
    	first ride shall be when the streets have been swept and the
    weather is at least 70degF! :)
    
    
    chico

    :^PpPp
    
    I agree with the streets being swept - but as long as its 50 deg F when
    I leave the house in the a.m. - I'm riding! and unles its raining I
    will ride everyday.
    
    My bike will be on the road in 2 weeks - I'll post something here when
    we can plan a get together.
    
    Jt

    
    
    	I think I'm with Jt..... I'm going to register my bike this week
    	(the phone bill can wait another week or two!)  ;^)
    
    	THEN, I just might go to Desjardins and check out their leather!
    	I'd like to have a "suit" but chaps sounds better!!!  mmmmmmm
    	
    	Gotta check 'em out!!!!
    
    	>M<

    
    
    	My bike is registered 365days a year! What's *wrong* with you
    people??? ;*)
    
    	I got my bike in March last year and I didn't have a car at the
    time! I rode it in alot of mornings when it was under 40degF....dang
    chilly coming down 290 at 6am.....brrrrrr....
    
    	I have a full rainsuit so I rode it in the rain too.....:*) One
    time it was raining so hard the dang thing was almost stalling on me! I
    hate when that happens.....:)
    
    	see you on the road (I hope!)!

    Now here is a subject I ;like! I have my license and used to have a
    Honda Four! These are rare these days I was told! It has 6 gears and
    was a light engine. I have driven on a KAWA 1300, Suzuki 750 and a
    one year old KAWA 1100 I think it was! 
    
    I sure wish I lived closer to you girls and I would love to go riding!
    I could be "it" too >M< !!!!!! ;-)))))))
    
    I did ship my black leather boots, jacket and my helmet across already! 
    One day this boy will be buying himself his own Harley and go riding
    for funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn again! ;-))))))) With all the cars
    here in the Netherlands, the small roads, the bicycles in the streets
    and the many mopeds, it is just kinda dangerous for the bikers here
    I sure would like to go ridin' again! ;-)

    re: .17
    
    	O, mine would be registered 365 days a year too if I *REMEMBERED*
    	to send the dang thing in when I got it in November.....  O, well.
    	I'm just not THAT organized... OK, so I'm not organized at all...
    	hehehehehe  but at least I know where it is!!!!!  (under a blanket
    	SOMEWHERE in my garage!!!!!)
    
    RE: .18
    
     > I could be "it" too >M< !!!!!! ;-)))))))
    
    	hehehehe...... you ARE a cutie!!!!!  ;^)
     
    
    	Yup, I'm ridin' this year.....
    
    	>M<

I've been going through old notes to catch up on some of the background on
the comments made. Several come from "in person" situations I know but it
helps to figure out what's going on sometimes (read: I was bored and had a
few minutes to browse)

Anyway, ladies, I guess I'll stand up for my sex (don't say it!) and defend
the gawking. It isn't that we've NEVER seen a woman on a bike, it's that we
REALLY LIKE seeing a woman on a bike, especially all dressed in leather
and...(d*mn keyboard won't work when drooled on...) the wind blowing the
hair hanging out of the helmet and...

See? it's appreciation...

8^)

     hear hear! I second that! Can I sit on the back!!!! ;-)))))))))
    
     m. ;-)
    

    
    
    	Ditto what CM said!
    
    	I don't think there's anything sexier than a leather clad woman
    stradling some serious horsepower....;*)

    Well my first major solo journey has been cancelled.  :^(
    
    My little baby, the Savage, just isn't up to the difficult ride.
    
    I plan on taking it on other trips this summer just not a 2,000 mile
    one.
    
    Jt

    
    
    	why ain't it up for the ride hun?
