shadyone Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 carrying things is easy. hold in right hand ease clutch out and get rolling . switch hands and throttle away. upshifting clutchless. when slowing down use the rear brake and engine breaking. switch item back to the right hand and downshift. carried many a leftover like this.

Calinazaret Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'd be willing to come hang out or fetch wrenches and learn new things. I don't think my bike needs any work as of right now but hanging out in a garage seems like fun. Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjagirl219 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Calinazaret, Going back to the original reason for this post, I totally get where you're coming from with being a girl. There aren't many of us, but there are a lot of us spread out. If you're interested in meeting a lot of other women who are damn awesome (include Isacc's papa's wife) we're around and congregate each year at Deals Gap in September too for a women's sportbike rally. You'll hear stories like this and also see that being a chick on a sportbike really isn't a big deal since there are a lot of us out there. Hope to see you around. I'm not on these boards too often, but love to see more women riding sportbikes. I'll give you my recent gender story which still happens after 15 years of riding. My boyfriend and I were stopped at a gas station in SEO a few weeks ago and I mentioned how my head was killing me. The guy behind the counter overheard me and said, "well we sell beer, that'll help." (I was in full leather gear.) I was confused why he would offer me that since I was obviously riding. Then my boyfriend said, "Oh, she's got her own bike." Then it dawned on me, he thought I was a passenger. So I decided to tease him, so I said, "Oh, you made the assumption I was a passenger, didn't you?" He said, "Yes, I am so sorry." Then I said, "It's okay. Happens all the time, but I will tell you this. 15 years riding (pointing to myself). Just over a year riding (pointing to my boyfriend). Riding a brand new motorcycle (pointing to myself). Rides my old bike I put 33,000 miles on (pointing to my boyfriend). I got HIM into riding." (No worries, my boyfriend thought it was funny so don't think I was degrading him.) The guy said, "Wow, I am so sorry. That is definitely different and you don't hear that too often. I'll never make another assumption again." Sometimes guys need to be reminded to stop making assumptions. It was fun. Hope to see you out on the road. Wave if you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wave if you do!My favorite is when people ask if I was riding passenger when I broke my shoulder riding motocross. Uhm, have you EVER seen ANYONE riding on the back of a dirt bike? Would it ever even occur to you to ask a guy if he was "riding the bike all by himself" when he crashed? Nope I'm just as capable of wrecking as a guy is, actually, all by myself lol. And yeah!! That sounds awesome! I'm totally there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
