I burped in my full face helmet on a long block with nowhere to stop and air it out.

I'm turning in my badge chief, hanging up the helmet, I'm just not strong enough for this beat

I picked up my bike today after mounting and balancing two brand new tires. I paid for them, took the bike out to the front, put all of my gear on, went to the driveway out of the shopping mall, proceeded to turn left. Whilst in this turn, I decided let’s fucking go baby, 🤦‍♀️ and my back tire just completely slid out from underneath me increasing the insane amount of lean that I was applying to this turn and now my knee really hurts and I have a big bonk chip on the front on my litas helmet 😭😭😭🤦‍♀️

As per my father today: “Too much power. Time for a 125.”

Hey all. This is the best place I could think to pose this question lol

I’m looking for a hot moto guy calendar. There are tons of hot girl ones, but no guys. What gives?!

If anyone knows of one or an organization making them, let a girl know!

Are you a woman with very small hands that wears leather gloves with knuckle guards that actually fit the fingers? If so do you have any recommendations?

If you feel like reading my rant here you go...

I'm at my wits end trying to find small enough leather gloves with knuckle guards & hopefully a palm slider to fit my apparently unusually small hands, short fingers & thumbs. There seems to be more options when it comes to racing & MX gloves but if you want cafe style or anything stylish that don't look like Transformer robot hands good luck.

This seems to be a common obstacle for lots of people regardless of gender but extra small women's leather gloves with knuckle guards are much harder to find vs how many options men have. I've had to return so many pairs of gloves recently so I'm starting to get discouraged & frustrated enough that I'm considering paying twice as much for custom made gloves.

Started looking into kids/youth gloves but can't find leather+knuckle guard+palm slider- not sure if palm sliders even exist on kids gloves. Today I sacrificed a $30 pair I found on a black Friday sale in hopes of shrinking them- just finished the process & it didn't work so I'm starting to think that paying too much for a custom pair is my only option.

So far all of the custom leather glove makers I've seen are only making racing gloves so if anyone has a recommendation for non racing leather glove makers I'd love to know about them. I realize I would likely have better luck looking for non leather gloves especially because of the super long thumbs that seem to always come with leather gloves. Another issue is different sizing charts from different vendors are all over the place & a lot of vendors don't even have size guides. Okay I think I'm done complaining. Thanks for your support lol!

I love really motorcycle riders who share their adventures on YouTube, especially when they travel like I do/try to (connecting with local people, being humbled by the beauty or even the chaos around them, admitting when something is really, really difficult, sharing the not-so-great times, not just the perfect times, etc.). I especially like women motorcycle vloggers.

YouTube recommends a lot to me, and most I watch one or two videos and give up - just not for me. But this one is terrific: It's Sifra & Roy of Belgium. Sifra does most of the talking. They are from Belgium and are taking (took?) six months off to tour Central Asia. She's riding a Royal Enfield Himalayan, he's riding a Honda CRF.

This is the first episode - but it's when they get to Turkey in episode 2 that things really get interesting:

If you are looking for some women motorcycler riding inspiration (and need more than the two videos a week from Itchy Boots), this is a good way to fill the void.

Looking around the £150 mark

My daughter has requested a heated shirt for her birthday. The only thing I can find that checks all the boxes is the Firstgear 12v. I thought I'd ask if there's something else out there I should be looking at.

Hiya~

A few months ago, there was talk of a discord server for us all to chat on. Is that still a thing??

Title :) wondering what y'all use!

My proposal to present at the Touratech-USA 2025 Rally West in Plain, Washington, June 26-29 is accepted! I'll offer advice on how to "do good" while traveling by #motorcycle: what's acceptable/worthwhile & what to avoid, in trying to help nonprofits & schools as you #travel.

I'm so excited!

It's based on this, a resource I update regularly:

My fingertips are taking ages to thaw after two half-hour rides this evening—wearing insulated, water-and-windproof winter gloves. Typing this hurts. It isn't even that cold, around 5°C and people are still jogging in shorts.

Anyway, I'm going to need heated gloves at this rate. Do you have any recommendations? The hotter, the better. Small hands, I live in the UK.

hey everyone, this is my first post here and im going through a really difficult time rn. One of the things on my 'reasons to live' list is to ride a bike one day. Ive ridden one before and it was the most memorable experience ever, i really wanna relive that. Im sorry for making things a little gloomy here haha, my true intention wasnt to make you upset or uncomfortable, i just want to express my love for bikes and women like me living their dreams.

Hoping sharing here might have a bit more visibility - I crashed my bike. My fault, but now I feel scared of the bike and I’m not really sure where to go from here/am feeling overwhelmed by the whole thing.

hi it’s my first time in this sub

i’ve been riding for 3 years now a 125cc. i got my M1 back in july after passing the safety course and have been wanting to upgrade to a speed twin 900 so i can use the fwy. not sure if that’s too big of a jump, but i’m able to flat foot it and it feels comfortable to sit on. i’ve been so set on it and saving money to buy one but recently injured myself with my boyfriend’s ftr1200, i dropped it going too slow in a uturn and burned my leg on his exhaust (i wasn’t wearing gear cause it was a small ride i know i know so so friggin stupid) but now i’m scared to get anything too big cause i feel like i won’t be able to handle it :( i seen girls smaller than me able to ride bigger bikes so i know i can do it but honestly i’ve dropped my own bike a couple times too and his continental gt 650 so maybe i just suck 🫠

Hello, I am a student at SUNY Plattsburgh. For my entrepreneurship class I need to conduct a survey relating to a business idea. My concept is a female own motorcycle gear company. Below I have added a link to the brief survey about gear preferences. Thank you in advance!

I just completed my first season, on my Triumph Speed 400

Does anyone know of a pair of high waisted riding jeans/cargo pants that have an adjustable waist (or are built similar to “curvy” lines that some brands make for normal jeans)?

I always struggle with bottoms fitting at the hips but gaping at the waist, or fitting at the waist and being way too tight at the hips. Would really prefer AAA rated pants, but AA works too since I know options are limited. Even better if they look flattering! Thx :)

After an incredibly scary experience where Progressive Insurance left us on the side of a busy Nevada interstate for two hours, with NO roadside assistance (they said no on in their network was available), and the motorcycle with the problem blowing over when a semi blew past (refused to get over - and there was virtuall no shoulder), I'm looking for alternatives. We had to call Progressive twice before in the last 10 years for towing - one time, they sent a truck that was incapable of towing a motorcycle (long story on how we got things worked out) and every time they tell the tow driver to take us to a tire store that does NOT work on motorcycles.

Someone told me they still have Progressive insurance but don't pay for roadside, and use AAA instead - but have never needed to call.

Anyone else have advice?

Hey y'all! I know hair looking great after a ride is not really a thing lol is there a way to at least try to make it look not as flat? I have super straight, medium length hair. After I ride, my hair looks like Alfalfa/Pee Wee Herman lol... it's not cute.

Please help a girl out ❤️ or I'll just accept my fate and deal :/

It has 162 Miles on it and basically brand new, they are selling it due to having a baby. But it has been dropped at a low speed and has scratches on the clutch and sides

Good insurance for a ninja 400? I didn’t want to pay more than $35-$40 a month for full coverage but is this not possible?

Hi everyone! I am currently 25 weeks pregnant and wanted to get insight from other female riders on something. I haven’t been riding since I found out I was pregnant at only 5 weeks. I used to ride almost every day.

I am having a c-section and I was wondering, how was your experience getting back on a bike after such a long hiatus (if you didn’t ride)? Did you forget anything? Was it like being on a bike as a beginner again? Did you struggle? Or did it come back to you quickly?

This is my second child and I’ve had a C-Section before. I didn’t ride back then and can’t remember much about recovery, but I’m aware it’s not easy.

For reference, I have a 2023 HD Street Glide and it’s stupid heavy. How long did you wait before riding again? I know this isn’t a medical forum and everyone is different, but I’d really appreciate if someone could share. Riding became a big part of my life the last two years and I feel like this something no one really talks about!

Thank you :-)
