Riding: A Pillion Perspective!
A friend asked me about taking his wife riding, saying she was less than thrilled when he had attempted it before. Well, I have to say there are those that will NEVER enjoy riding as a pillion, but then there are those that simply don’t know how to be a pillion and are chilled at…

Woman riding solo: Reflected
I’ve had lots of time this winter to contemplate the solo tour, of which I have been partaking the last several years. In looking back I found some old blog posts that pretty well summed up the solo ride, at least for my purposes and I believe they speak to many. Riding Solo: A Woman’s…

It ain’t no joke…U-Turns
We’ve all been there and joked about the 3 point, 5 point or 7 point U-turn, but it’s no longer funny. Time to perfect the U-turn. A true pleasure is watching my friend Dona flip a quick U-turn on her big ol’ BMW RT. She is absolutely awesome to watch doing this maneuver and I…

Web surfing…Fuzzygalore’s Moto Photo Blog-O-Rama Meme: Trees
Doing some needed web surfing today and I found a link to a link to a link and discovered another female rider/blogger (of which there are probably many… but I guess I don’t get out much!).
