Ginki:

We're all sincerely interested - when you take your bike out this weekend, post up and let us know how it went, what happened, did you meet other riders, etc. Even tell us if you dumped it - cause we'll ALL tell you our stories of how and when we dumped our bikes, it'll make you laugh.

Dressmaker:

Welcome! Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself. Was just curious as to whether you ever rode solo, or do you always ride with your hubby?

And once again girls - looks like we've got another 40+ woman in the forum. This is really wonderful. Wish all of us lived close, we'd have one heck of a "Women's Only" motorcycle gang.

Hey! I'm glad I found this forum. I've been riding full-time for two years. I had a bike for one summer in college but I don't count that since I hadn't taken a safety course and didn't know what I was doing.

I recently sold my Suzuki GS500 and bought a ZX6-R. I love it!!! I use it as a commuter, but I like riding in the country on the weekends (twisties rule, and that bike loves to lean). I've taken it to the track too - I highly recommend it!

When I'm not riding, I'm either working as an editor or practicing with my roller derby league (rat city rollergirls). I live in Seattle with my boyfriend, who also rides a Ninja.

I'm 32, so I guess that makes me one of the younger members...who knew?

Hey ladies!!!!!

Well, NinjaGirl told me about this site. This will make the fifth forum I'm a part of but oh well! Anyway, I ride a metallic pink 2003 Ninja 636. I started off with a 2001 Ninja EX500, and had a blast, but outgrew it in 6 months. I am a certified veterinary technician by profession, but I also work part-time at Cycle Gear here in Mesa (which is how I met NinjaGirl). It's nice being the only girl in the store. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm learning fast. I have 12 cats (yes, that isn't an error, 12). I love cats....duh. I am still single ( with 12 cats, it's not surprising), and I am 28. I see that I might be one of the younger riders, but it's all good. I am the chapter leader of the Christian Sportbike Association-Phoenix Chapter. For any of you who are interested, the website is www.christiansportbike.com
Well, I think that's all. Glad to see a section for us ladies. Talk to you all soon!

Pinky

P.s. I tried to attach pictures of my bike, but the colors on the preview really sucked, so if you wanna see my bike, email me, and I'll email you some pics.

Crosstown said:

Hello to all. My name is Diane and I live in the sunny state of Florida where it is now a very warm 47 degrees compared to the rest of the country...burrrrr. I rode my Ninja 250 this past weekend. I have had my bike for 11 months and have put on over 10,000 miles on it. Rode at Deal's Gap twice with it, great bike for the Gap. I mostly commute on the bike during the week and take long rides when I can. The Ninja is the second bike I have owned, the first was a cruiser. I am married with two sons, a cat and one fish. I am a paralegal by trade and going to school to become an attorney.

Hey everyone. I am new to the board. My name is Angie and I bought a 2005 ninja 500R about 3 weeks ago now. I have grown up around motorcycles and finally got around to buying my own. My husband bought a BMW not too long ago and I was sick of being "the girl on the back", especially since I know how to ride. I guess I am one of the youngest on the site since I am 27 but I think it is great how many women riders there are, no matter the age. Well that's about all from here. Thanks Ninjagirl for introducing me to this site.

Happy riding.

RNMama said:

Hi Everyone,

My name is Lisa, but my tag reads RNMAMA. I have only been riding for 2 full years now minus the snowy winters here in Upstate NY. My beginer bike was a 1979 Kawasaki 400LTD that I picked up for $400.00! It was great to learn on, but Hubby just bought me a 2001 Vulcan 800 for my b-day at the start of the month and I love it!

I admit that I am trying to feel confident on it because it is bigger and more powerful than my 400, but I have been told that I will get used to anything I ride and to give it time. I do though wonder if anyone else had a time of getting used to a bigger bike and had any tips for me.

I have taken it out a few times and even to work once. I havent really had a problem with it, except for a bit of fear of it's size when I come to a stop. I need to and plan to get out on it in a parking lot to practice, but I would still love to here from other women who ride.

I have 2 children that I home school, an 11 year old girl and a 6 year old boy. My hubby and I just bought a house in September and then rescued a greyhound in December. I have been sitting here trying to come up with hobbies that I have and I guess I dont really have any... I guess I must be borring.lol

Hi to all! My name is Lynne and I'm 39 years old. My hubby bought me my first bike june 03, but I didn't get it running until aug 03. Had alot of fun and learning working on my own bike, (with a little help from my friends). So far I have logged about 200 miles on it. Still not running up to par, but working on it. I love riding and think this a great site. I am really glad to see all the ladies riding their own! Hope to see you all out there soon!

I think I feel much more comfortable with the 250 actually for a little while at least so that I can get some more seat time. The 500 is too heavy for me at the moment. I am scheduled to take the MSF class in California in June I can't wait.

Hi girls! Newbie here. My name is Jane and I'm a Postal Rural Carrier from the small state of Delaware. I'm 40 yrs old, married for 22 yrs with 3 wonderful children 20, 18 and 16. I ride a 2003 Vulcan 500 Ltd. Started riding a year ago when my husband went through, what I call ,his mid life crises and bought himself a Honda VTX 1300. I enjoy riding so much but am still quite scared out there. Call me paranoid I guess. Hubby and I are taking our first long trip in June. Going to Thunder In The Valley, Johnstown, Pa. I'll let you know how that goes. My main worry is going over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Any advise on going over bridges? Close my eyes and pray for it to get over? lol No, I think I'll be ok just a little nervous.

Lia said:

Hi, I'm Lia. I am going to WSU in Pullman WA. At 27, it looks like I may be the youngest one here? I have my bike (in my possesion) for two weeks. I am using it commute to campus, and hopefully, I'll find some time inbetween tests and homework to get some distance on it. My fiance has a GSXR750, we haven't even ridden together because we don't live in the same town. Maybe this weekend...

I noticed that Ninjagirl was excited to change her oil finally, I can't wait either.

ps. I like the girls only thing. There are few girls on bikes around here and I feel like I stick out! Probably do. Hopefully it's not the riding skills that is attracting the attention! I swear this whole town was built on a HILL! Not good for a beginer trying not to embarass herself.

I have a riding gear question but I think I'll save that for the other topic in this forum.

Nice to be here.
