The Motorcycle Show is coming to NYC early this year, Dec. 13th-15th. We all missed the women's booth terribly last year, so we were really happy to hear that the Women's Motorcyclist Foundation hooked up with several other groups including the AMA, WIMA, the Motor Maids, and Women In The Wind to form the Women's Coalition of Motorcyclists. They'll have a booth at the NYC show this year! Many of the NYC Sirens plan to volounteer at the booth. Is anyone else planning to come to the show?
On a selfish, personal note, I just took myself out to Harbor Freight and bought myself the foldable motorcycle trailer I've been wanting. The Trailer In A Bag which I've been over-using for several years doesn't even belong to me, and it went under 5' of salt water during Hurricane Sandy. I've been using it all season anyway, but even I have been nervously concerned about safety lately. My new trailer needs assembly, and I'll feel better if I stiffen up some of the less robust parts, but it was on sale for less than $300!!!!! Yay. I think I like buying myself presents.

The Long Beach, Ca Motorcycle show is this weekend, Dec 6, 7, 8. I will be there all weekend, talking with people regarding The Motorcycle Safety Foundation and its Basic Rider Course. Come say hi! I should be with the California Highway Patrol booth on Friday night and with the Women's Motorcyclist Foundation coalition for the rest of the Weekend.
Wish I could come to the NY show too. Quote:

The motorcycle show was seriously under-attended in NYC this year. The weather was dreadful enough to keep many of the usual attendees home, and the early date discouraged some of the usual vendors. It was still fabulous, and it was great to catch up with the riders I only get to see once a year at this event. I bought myself a Condor wheel chock for my not-yet-assembled trailer, plus a few other goodies. I can't wait to get my fabulous new trailer on the road.
A beautiful femme friend who is a really new rider, and who currently owns a bike that's not at all appropriate or comfortable for her, came to sit on bikes. I spent some quality time with her looking at all the new models. I knew I liked her! She has great taste in bikes. She liked all the cool ones that were totally appropriate, and hated all the excessive bikes that were 'all show and no go'. I probably shouldn't admit this, but we bought matching lambskin corsets at one of the cheap leather booths, too.

Naah. I'm going to have enough trouble just remembering to take photos. I haven't taken pics on any of my other adventures because I felt like I was in the moment, and didn't want to stop to capture something in order to to see it again in some future moment. Now that my memory is dimming I sort of regret those choices.

The first bike I ever rode was a 1977 AMF - Harley Davidson. 250 cc.
It was purple in colour, it was bad ass, I was 14. My father purchased the bike for the “family” 6 kids. I was the only one who rode it. No one could pry my hands from the bars. I drove the bike illegally for about 2 yrs and after numerous small wipe outs I finally had to put it out to pasture after I went flying into a ditch. I flew over the handle bars face first into black berry brambles. I had numerous small droplets of blood running down my face and one tear. |

I rode my friends mini bike when I was about 10.....right into a tree.
Then about seven years ago I took the motorcycle class and passed it with the highest grade. Then I went to test drive bikes. I found a couple I could actually fit on and hold up. But being on the road with traffic, even just for the test drive, scared the hell out of me so I never got a bike. Then a couple of years ago my best friend got a Can-am Spyder. It looked so cool and had three wheels so I wouldn't have to hold it up and it's big. But damn at the price...oh well. Then a month ago she tells me she's selling it because she never rides it and wants the money for another expense. She sold it to me for a song, and threw in two helmets, winter and summer gloves, winter and summer jackets. So I finally have a bike! It's the Spyder RTS, the touring version. My friend never skimps, so it is loaded with all kinds of bells and whistles. It's my daily driver. I've almost put more miles on it in the month I've had it than she did in the two years she did. I'm not in any clubs, but am in a couple of groups on FB that also ride locally. I'll be joining them for my first long ride next weekend. Down country roads to Lynchburg. Then this October I'll be going to Spyders in the Smokies and riding the Dragon! |

Well we just had the warmest April on record, here in Vancouver BC.
Made for some great early season riding. I currently ride a Kawasaki Ninja 650. Its a fun bike and one of the more comfortable bikes Ive had. |

Monday will be my 5th track day on my new-to-me dream bike. I'll be venturing outside the comfort of my home group which holds most of their track days at an older, inferior track. It's also a six hour drive from my house. The far better, far newer track is only four and a half hours away, but my home group is so cool that it's totally worth the extra miles. Nobody ever says stupid stuff about women riding at the track, and the aggression level is quite pleasantly low. Every time I take a track day with a different group at the beautiful, new, and relatively close track, and I mean EVERY single time, with every single group, the attendees are overwhelmingly stupid and cursed with testosterone poisoning. They make idiotic comments about gender in general and my gender in particular. They're in some sort of primal competition at all times, and they're just plain irritating to be around. Not to mention that it's not particularly safe to be out on the track with men who are so desperately afraid of a GRRRRRRLLL passing them that they do really stupid stuff when I zip by. I hope this turns out well.
