Hi Nat!



My wife bought herself this a few months ago, and hasn't looked back.

She's got a few thousand miles in since and is loving it - there's a lot more women coming into biking and its great to see! (thumbs)

Before she knew it - a lass she used to work with got in touch, and she owns a similair bike - and she's off out having girly motorbike lunches etc -


There's a nationwide lasses bike club too - my wifes not been - but keeps saying she'll pop and have a look:

Thier mantra is: Ride:EatCake:Ride:Repeat :laugh:



Thats the thing about biking - its easily the most friendly community on earth :)






Before you know it - you;ll be having all your mates round and your house will look like this!

better late than never and by the way there is no cure, once bikes have seeped into your veins there is no going back

Enjoy (thumbs)

My friend I travel with has met someone nice who likes bikes....and proudly boats her Kawasaki ZZR1400 [I think that's what it is, good nick and lots of miles up] of about 2001 has only had 2 lady owners.

Don't forget to come over this way and see the north Antrim Coast and the Wild Atlantic Way.

Welcome to the forum,try to build confidence riding in the wet and get some decent riding gear,otherwise living in Britain you will spend a lot of time waiting for good weather,which is really annoying (thumbs)

It depends who you normally ride with and what you want to do but there are a number of groups aimed at female riders and my wife usually does at least one track day every year where the only blokes are instructors plus goes to things like speedway meetings, BSB races or whatever else they're organising that she fancies doing when I'm away doing other things.

lol oh how funny
thank you for the encouragement, tell the missus it is a beautiful bike, wow. I looked at the curvy riders but they are up north so can't just pop in, but I will try and make some time to call in there one day. I am loving the warm welcome into the biking community I must say.
