Do you or would you ride a Motorcycle?

When I was much younger, I used to ride, and even did a little dirt-track racing; but this was pre-Lulu. Not that it would make a difference. Black denim trousers and a leather motorcycle jacket (and a helmet, when we had to) don't project a femme image at all.

I do ride. I have a Suzuki Bergman 650 now.

Hi Carol!

Why, yes! I ride a Yammy Roadliner, 1854cc cruiser. Goes like stink all day long!

I will wear tights under my jeans to prolong the season, but by the end of October or early November we're done. My winters in Ontario are brutal. And then I get to look at my beauty in the garage for 6 months! WHAAA!!!!

I prefer to look ultra-masculine when on my bike. I wear a jean jacket with a big eagle patch and a big Canadian Flag. My hair is long and I like it blowing in the wind, even under my beanie helmet. FA!

I wear this jacket whenever I'm travelling, even without my bike. I love going to the States! I've had lots of wonderful conversations with so many about motorcycles and the best places to ride. Americans are the nicest people!

Love this topic!

Hi Barb, I can imagine how cold it must be up there on a bike. I ride a Harley Custom Deluxe, 103 cu.in with a 6 speed tranny ( no pun intended). I like riding , it's my favorite thing to do except for shopping. I love going to the Harley shop but they are so high now on their stuff. Next time your in  the states , if your close to Cali, let me know and maybe we could do a little riding . Coral

Holly, That sounds awful. I think you have a good reason for not wanting to ride one. That wasn't a good way to teach a child how to ride a bike. I'm sorry you had such a thing happen to you. Love Coral

Gwyneth, I love to hear that others like me ride, sometimes when I'm at an event for bikers I wonder who is like me. Sometimes I suspect someone is, and want to be nosey  but rarely have I ever said anything and only if they have let it be known to me . So they must have felt the same about who I was, isn't that funny. Have you ever run into that situation? Love Coral

Lulu, I can just bet you were hell on wheels too. Love Coral

Thanks, Carol! I'll keep this invite in my wallet.

Custom Deluxe? That's sweet! What colour? Any customization? Mine is stock and silver with lots of chrome.

Whenever we drive from Ontario to North and South Carolina, I tell my SO I have two conditions for any stops. There must be a Starbucks and a Harley-Davidson, Indian or Yamaha dealership.

Yeah, getting pricey, but Harley's accessories like gloves, boots, etc., are pretty decent quality. I got a pair of leather open-finger gloves at the Harley Store in downtown NYC and they're still going strong after many years of wear.

My next bike may be an Indian Dark Horse, but only if my bike ever gets stolen. I think my Roadliner will last forever. It's an amazing ride! For 10 years I rode 10,000 kms (6,000 miles) per year. Getting older now, but my real worry is everyone else. So many idiots.  Only got 2,000 kms this year because I had to wait 2 month for new tires! The supply chain is still blocked up.

I ride as much as I can. A Harley Ultra Limited 107 with a few engine mods. It is so relaxing and sometimes exciting. You meet so many different and unique people. Have never rode dressed but plan to. It is the single most enjoyable thing I do

I never had a motorcycle, nor had a desire to ride one.

A GG friend had one, and had it outside at one of her many CD parties.  I did pose for a picture on the motorcycle.  But that's as far as I ever went.

Hi Coral,

Yes, I did in my youth, I had a few bikes but not for a long long time now. Not sure I'd ever get on one again.

By far my best was a Triumph Bonneville T120 - from the 70s era, not the later 1200 cc ones! 100 mph, ragged tshirt, ripped jeans, long hair, no helmet. Crazy times.

Hi Coral.

I had a couple of Yamaha scooters in the distant past, just for commuting to and from work....very nippy around town. I never rode as grace, I agree with Lulu, the protective gear was not  very flattering.

I have never had a motorcycle but...

I heard my mother say she had an itchyfannee once....but I never saw her ride it!!!😂

Hi Coral! I rode for years. Just sold my bike this past Spring. My reflexes are not what they used to be. And with everyone on their cell phone these days? But I will ride as Pru. It's on my Bucket List. Sold the bike to a friend. He said I can borrow it anytime. Going to have a GG friend take a video of me going down the road.   It was a 2001 Dyna Wide Glide Hugs Pru!

I have been a passenger on a motor bike. I would go on a motorbike crossdressed. I’d love a nice dress, which would blow in the wind.
