Her Two Wheels For me, I am just a happier person. It balances me on life’s daily demands. I’m better for everyone around me because of it.

I agree Jess from camping to your crazy yet special tattoos you are a pioneer, a truelly cool chick riding a Harley and being goofy along the way . I love your expression when. A Dog is playing you obviously love dogs. Keep up your channel still waiting for you and your hubby's fishing video .

Her Two Wheels click bait...lol I thought you perhaps had some issue.. Thankfully no! Stay safe from souther ontario👍

@@gmil9410 haha! The definition of the word Consequence: "a result or effect of an action or condition" I think we forget that "consequences" are not always bad! =D

The number one positive effect is all the money I save from not needing therapy! 😊

I'm 59...I've been riding since I was 13. The day I have to give up riding is the day that life, for me anyways, is officially over.

Amen

I'm 50 and I totally agree. Ride safe all.

@@GITMachine I'm 60 and have been riding since I was 5, I have a sickness, I collect old dead harleys, 11 now, all wearing collector tags, took 800 hours of american v twin training at AMI in 1982, so I rescur them hahaha, ride around 20,000 miles every year, if I didn't live in the rainy state of washington I'm sure I'd rack up a lot more miles. ride safe and most of all have fun.

I agree 100% been riding since I was 17. I own 3 bikes and ride them All! You don't quit riding because you got old You got old because you quit riding!

I (m) had my first rides and my first accident by motorcycle, before I was born. My mom was pregnant with me. My dad had his motorcycle only - no car. But I had the best "airbag" around me. I ride motorcycles since 45 years. I started Age 14 with a Motocross-Bike, for $ 50 only.

Wow, 50 of them..... serious addiction ??, LOL. :) (Trying to figure how many that equates to in the 12 yrs I've been on the street ....) Stay Safe

I'm stealing this! 👌

I do gotta say even though I only started riding a little less and two years a go when at 24 years old, one of my uncle's rode and ever since I was a little guy I knew I would be turning one day

The Motorcycle bug bites HARD AND FAST! It has been the ultimate life changing event for me!

Mandy, just do it. Start out with what you think feels ok, even if its a scooter for a few months or so to get the feel of riding in city traffic, etc. , then move up to say a 250 cc when you are more confident, and then go get your class 6 when you feel ready. When that day comes, and you are riding the open road along side your Hubby, you both will know freedom. Stay Safe !

Wes, thanks so much for that! I’m currently learning on an ‘06 Honda Shadow 750. It has been great. 17 years ago, I rode an older Yamaha Virago 750 that just didn’t fit me well and needed a lot of work. I just didn’t enjoy it and we sold it. This Shadow on the other hand feels amazing. Totally fits me better and I’m getting the hang of it.

I’m in your shoes!

As a motorcyclists we have all been the same as you. It's just like driving a car you're a little nervous at first but soon get used to it. Aventually you'll not even think about how to ride you just enjoy it. Always think about safety though and beware of other road users and be ready for anything.

Trucking Biker, yes!! Thanks for the encouragement. I told my husband it’s like waiting in line for a scary roller coaster. You’re freaked out and think of all the danger. But, once you’re on, you have the time of your life and can’t wipe the smile off you’re face. That’s where I’m at right now. I’m excited to continue practicing and getting more confident. -Mandy😊

Kim, I ride a Yamaha Bolt just over 72 miles per day at 60 ~ 70 mph , weather permitting or not, and the best thing I can tell you about the wind on a bike with no ferring or windshield is 'lean forward into it.' just enough to stop the helmet buffeting. If the road is bumpy and it causes you stress because the bike "jerks" from throttle-flexing " when you get bounced, then do this .' Grip the throttle with your thumb, ring finger and pinky, and rest your first and middle finger on top of the brake lever.[ or just your fore-finger if fingers are long enough. apply the same light down-force to the top of the brake lever so that your wrist won't twitch when you hit a bump at 50 or 60 mph. The beauty of this is, when you need to brake... your hand is in position, all you need to do is squeeze. Try it out on a straight road section at say 40 mph , and see what I mean about the increased throttle confidence. then at a faster rate over light bumps. It might feel gooney at first, but you will find your comfort zone with the concept. And it stops you from gabbing a "fist-full "of brake when you only need to 2-finger it, to stop properly along with the rear brake in check. Stay Safe and Ride on W

Ok, Helmet buffeting is the wrong reference term, .... lean forward about 5 degrees so that a blast of air from a passing semi , doesn't feel like its going to rip you off the bike . And now a Novel ... lol..... just some bantering from me that you and the rest of the group might find intriguing or have some relevance to life, which I had last Friday ....... .... while I'm on the Semi issue . this bodes for single lane both direction highways, ride the line between lane positions 2 and 3 when riding the highway at 50 or 60 mph..That's the safest place to be in case you have a passing Cager headed towards you, but still allows you time to move out of the way, and also allows you to be seen from cross-road merging cagers, so be ready for them. And..... the Semi will create a vacuum under it and behind it which can pull a light bike into the traffic that's behind it IF you are too close to the centre line...... Not a good thing.... So habituate the line between lane positions 2-3 when on the highway when it's a 1 lane both ways. And Now ..... What I had fun with going Home on May 29th 2020....... Almost a novel, but might be fun reading....... So this thing that happened to me last Friday..... Coming of hwy 97 C onto 97 A .I got into a speed zone of 100 KPH , ( 60 mph), and I'm going down the straight in lane position 2. So 1.5 miles ahead I see a semi coming at me. So for safety I move to position 2-3 , ( road has tar patches all over from truck traffic, positions 1 and 3.....), I'm thinking no wind-jammer on this Rig maybe. ( think of the air blast you get from passing by a semi at 60 mph or better.... BOOOOMFFF, lol ). I then notice at a distance on about 1/2 mile , the Semi has now 3 Headlights, .... lol . A biker is passing coming towards me . I check my 6, no one is behind me for at least 3 miles , so I go to position 3. and sped up to 65 mph. He's on a 125 or 250 CC trying to pass a semi doing 65. I'm now grinning to my max level .When I got to him , he was still broad-side of the semi's cab , just a gum-booting his throttle . He passed me in my lane position 1, ( all good ), and I passed him in my lane position 3 . But I had to mess with his mojo ...... as we started passing each other ( remember my curve leans left here... ) I Gave him a -5-low as I pass him, ( the biker wave you see left hand out at about 20 degrees from vertical ) . So anyway , He didn't fray the moment, he was dammed determined to get around the semi..... He did good , but I think he is seriously thinking about a larger ride now .... lol. I had my fore finger on top of the brake as a lock and We passed each other with 5 feet between us at a relativistic speed of 130 mph, ( 210 kph) I guess he was thinking " wtf am I doing "., ( remember that semi's create an under-tow windage, so while trying to pass the semi the air pressure is trying to pull the bike under his rig..... as soon as we passed mid-trailer , he was over in my lane 3..... , He learned about Semi's that day and won't do it again, at least not on an CBR 250. I didn't flag him to approaching cars as the 3 miles behind me were empty.. He was safe. Kim keep away from the cross wind of semi's , ride lane the line at position 2-3 Keep alert !! Stay Safe and Ride on. W

@Just J Congrats on your new ride! (The Bolt has 65 HP at 5780 rpm. and is 547 lbs wet, and goes like stink. But half the power of your new ride...Will do 107 mph full out....) So what is it ? Road / Street or Sport Glide ?

Better be safe than sorry! hahaha!

I'm the same. Doesn't matter how many times I've tried to hook up with other riders, I still have no one to ride with! The handful of friends that I do have, have no interest in ever riding. I do like riding alone, but having literally no one to talk about Motorcycles with is pretty upsetting and leaves me feeling lonely no matter how happy riding makes me

Been riding since 2007 and didn't know many who rode. I'm kind of a loner anyways, but still would have been nice to have people who understood riding to talk with. My son started riding when he went off to college a couple years ago, with my wife and my happy approval. Now he's home and doing school online so we go on rides often. It's great! In casual conversation with my daughter the other day I mentioned scooters to her because she showed interest in the past. She said she would be more interested in a motorcycle. I was smiling inside. Plus it's an excuse to get a small starter bike to add to the stable. She just graduated high school and is going to college. My wife never started riding since the kids where still dependent on us, but hope to get her started too!

Don’t you got motorcycle clubs in your neighbourhood? Here in Denmark, Europe we don’t have a long distance to find a local motorcycle club. It’s very easy to locate a club that suit your needs. Do you want a “gang-oriented” kind of club or a touring club. Do you want to go on a trip with singles only or the members of your local club? It’s all arranged on facebook.

I’ve always rode alone until my son wanted to ride 3 years ago. I have the best riding partner I could have imagined. We talk non-stop when riding and have grown extremely close.
