Sometimes there?s perks to being a female biker blogger.
2007-08-29 22:15:00 When I started this blog back in April, I didn’t know what it had in store for me. I wasn’t sure if I could get traffic to this site.

Video Tuesday: dvd review of Wild Hogs
2007-08-28 14:15:00 I barely go to the movies anymore. I have a Netflix subscription and movies come to dvd so quickly these days that I don’t mind the wait.

Friday?s trip to Ogunquit, ME.
2007-08-27 14:14:00 Friday’s ride to Maine was nothing short of perfect. We left Salem in the morning, around 10:30-ish. The weather was perfect for riding.

Motorcycle insurance in Massachusetts
2007-08-23 14:41:00 First off, I’d like to say that I’m a very good driver. And I don’t mean in the Rainman sense either. I really know how to handle both my bike and my car. With that being said, let’s talk about motorcycle insurance and the scam that it is in relationship to automobile insurance ... More About: Insurance , Motorcycle , Massachusetts , New England
Video Tuesday: sexy Brigitte Bardot ?Harley Davidson?
2007-08-21 17:07:00 I found this video of Brigitte Bardot a few months ago when I was looking for motorcycle videos to post on Tuesday s. I thought it was cute and campy, and let’s face it, who wouldn’t mind watching beautiful Brigitte singing in French around a shiny motorcycle? Well, apparently I wasn’t the only one: Cyril Huze beat ... More About: Video , Sexy , Harley
Bikerworlds: bikers and social networking
2007-08-20 20:58:00 In the recent years, I’d be remiss not to mention how important social networking sites have become to the average internet dweller. Sites like: Facebook, Friendster and MySpace are just a few of many and while they have a reputation for being skewed towards a younger demographic, the truth is that these sites are open ...

Everything old is new again.
2007-08-16 19:14:00 I just read an article about a guy who made a monocycle and it reminded me of a TV show I saw, I think it was a Biker Build-off. Billy Lane, who some of you may be familiar with, is a custom bike builder out of Melborne, Florida. He also has a mechanical ...

Sturgis motorcycle week, vicariously
2007-08-10 21:28:00 Screengrab from http://www.sturgisrallydaily.com. Look, there’s a lovely lady riding down Main St. As I have mentioned before, I have never had the pleasure of attending the Sturgis bike rally.

I?m the nut.
2007-08-07 02:50:00 “Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.” This quote is particularly true in describing yours truly this summer. I have created my own problems by trying to enhance the performance and bad-assness (did I just make up my own word?) of my motorcycle. I’m a bit frustrated because ...
to ride?or not to ride.
2007-08-03 03:23:00 I did something this week that I haven’t done in almost a month now: I rode my motorcycle to work. After the Rejet Debacle of Summer 2007 we finally got the bike to start and actually…go. We took it out for a little spin, it seemed ok. The weather was good this week so I thought ...

Calling all wrenches - motorcycle rejet gone bad
2007-07-26 19:29:00 So the saga continues with my bike. I attempted a rejet and it just isn’t working right now.

BlogCatalog Community Organ Donation Awareness Campaign
2007-07-18 21:50:00 Today I am blogging for a good cause: organ donation. Motorcycling and organ donation are two things that almost seem to go hand in hand.

Video Tuesday: Herbal Essence biker commercial
2007-07-17 13:40:00 I have to say that I was surprised and pleased when I saw this commercial on tv the other night. I always wondered why advertisers weren’t targeting the female biker audience. The numbers show that it’s an ever-growing group of consumers. Well, I guess this could be the start of something beautiful. Maybe in the ... More About: Video , Humor , Commercial , Biker , Tuesday
carb re-jetting: frustration plantation
2007-07-16 22:56:00 Ah yes, my motorcycle is still not up and running. Well, that’s not true. It runs (as in, I can get it started and it idles) but the minute I try to put it in gear it rides rough, bogs down, shoots out black smoke and then dies. That leads me to believe that ...
