minor disaster averted - just red in the face...

...so my husband and I ride up to our local Kawi dealer last Saturday to find out they had a customer appreciation event going on (I apparently didn't get the memo). I pull in behind him and proceed to get so distracted by all the goings-on that I yanked a bit hard on the front brake while coming to...

Re: Women Riders: I ride for freedom and joy

I would have ridden horses a hundred or so years ago. Today that is impractical so I ride an Iron Horse that gives me the same sensory feedback that a quivering or galloping horse did then.

She had the same complaint that it was heavy eps. when taking off from a standstill. When I tried it and think I found out why. It's power band seems raised a bit up the RPM scale. So it doesn't come off a stand still as agile as most V-Twins. But the power makes it a more bearable bike from 10 -70...

I'm 39 years old and still get the phone calls from my mother to see if it was me......

They also said that the guy that he was racing took off, choosing to save his own skin rather than help someone who was dying. Bummer.[/quote]


Ugh...

I don't know... I just don't see anything funny about this video. Maybe we'd all see it that way if they kept the video going a few more second and you saw the skin being scraped from her body and the blood dancing on the pavement as a beautiful woman was transformed in to a scarred for life, fille...
