 8) Congrats DG...on becoming a moderator on the forum...you have come to my rescue on a couple of questions I had when I started riding...
I said "YES" when my husband could no longer ride me on the back of his bike(at the time we owned a HD) due to advanced lung cancer....after 30 years behind him...I didn't want to ever depend someone else for a ride...so before he died...I learned to ride, that was in July 2012...we took several short rides together that summer...him on the Drifter(we bought it in early 2012)...me on my lil Honda Rebel...he passed in Dec. 2012...by Spring 2013, I was ready to ride the Drifter...I can't imagine NOT ever riding a motorcycle again...I just don't know why I didn't learn to operate one myself a lot sooner... ???

Welcome Motortuna!! Sounds like you have lots of riding experience. You'll find the whole forum very friendly and informative!! Please feel free to start a topic on anything you'd like discussed from a woman's point of view on this page.

I'm a new member and am glad to see this...I've been riding for years (since 1973...egad!) and I am always looking for gals who ride to share tips and just camaraderie.  I haven't bought my dream Drifter YET, but I'm working on it! Welcome to your page and you.

Great start DG.

We all know female biker numbers are growing each year. We don't exclude the ladies from any area on this forum, but its nice to have a place where they can give their point in of view in a relatively secure area. DG will ensure that is the case, I am very sure.

Right now they can use PM's for conversations out of the public view. But DG may want to set up a child board restricted to women if we get a few more on the forum.

Personally, I find a lot of the questions posed by female bikers are questions some of us guys would like to ask but don't. All of us guys are GUESTS here! I am hoping there will be more Lady Drifters and female bikers in general visiting here over time.

Thanks DG for your efforts.

It's not that we want a woman's prospective, we need it.  50% of the population is woman so why would we not need their prospective on a past time we all love.

I am glad you volunteered.  Thank you.

  :o Hello! Here I am, a newbie, and moderator of the Women's page. Most women bikers I have met say they ride for various reasons but those reasons mostly boil down to a great big YES!!  Yes to life, yes to fun, yes to comraderie, yes to solitude, yes to freedom, yes, yes, yes!!! So I am moderator not because I know anything but because I said YES. I'll pass along interesting stuff about biking that I find in my quest to learn more and I'll be looking for you to teach me lots from your experiences.
