Attention All Biker Ladies - and Gentlemens!

Hi everybody; :help:

My question has nothing to do with my band but I thought I'll ask anyway.

I'm thinking about getting a Motorcycle for myself and would like to know what kind of bike(s) you ride and what you like about them - or maybe not so much?

I would be glad for any input I can get.

Thanks for your help.

Carola

I drive a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard S50. It is a crusier...803 cc. It is a smooth riding bike. Only downfall is it does not have a stereo....I like to ride to music. So I use my IPOD with head phones......nice bike. I can see myelf going bigger in a few years, but for now it is great

Edited by Shadow08

I ride a Kawasaki Vulcan 500, I'm a newbie still, but I love my little bike. My DH has a '01 HD Dyna. But where others see the name, we just see the bikes. And it doesn't matter what you ride, as long as you ride and ride safe.

I consider myself a newbie too even tho I have had my license for 20+ years. I did not have a bike for about 15 years until I bought my new one last year. One month after I had it, a bicycle pulled out in front of me and I had to lay it down........I did not get hurt to badly but had lots of damage on the bike! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to getting the bike out...it is a balmy 33 today here in Wisconsin!! lol

Shadow, I knew there was a reason I lived in Texas. It is suppose to be some where around 80 today. Lets ride! ! !

Heck.....it's better today! End of March and 10 inches of snow just south of us by 20 miles! God, I love Wisconsin winters!

Randy where is Texas are you from. By your picture looks like you are a member of a chapter. What chapter???? I'm from the Dallas area. Member of the Dallas chapter.

Dianne, we had a little group here in Fairfield but we sort of "

broke up". Now it is just me. In that picture I was riding with Run For The Wall back in 2005. I'm standing in front of the White House in Washington, D.C.

I actually ride with my husband who has a Honda CBR 1000 (sports bike). Which is fast & has great balance on the road.

It's been 15 months since I've had my lap band surgery & I'm loving my results. I have a very confident & beautiful person, always keeping my appearance up but my husband has noticed that I'm doing things that are out of my character. I've become lazy around the house, sometimes just spaced out & not knowing it, going out partying all the time, meeting new people (men) which has become a problem. My husband shows me alot of attention & makes me feel very beautiful inside & out. But I feel that since my surgery it has done something to me mentally & I'm not understanding why I'm acting like this. Has anyone experienced any symptoms like this. :confused2:

I started out riding behind my husband. But it did not take to long before I wanted my own. I love to ride. We have gone to a number of places and made some wonderful friends.

:smile2:Hello all, newbie here. I can't believe there is a forum for lab band bikers! How cool! I was banded 06/07, have lost 63# with about 25# to go. Anyway, back to the question. I drive a 2006 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe. We (my dh and I ) also have a 2007 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic. I have had 5 bikes in 7 years. A girl can change her mind can't she????? LOL

I lost 20 lbs prior to surgery, But I have only lost 2 lbs since surgery. Very disapointed. I go for my second fill today. Sure hope it helps. I know what you mean about changing your mind. I am on my 3rd bike. I bought my Screaming Eagle Road king last year. It's blue. Love it. This one I'm keeping.

Dianne

Diane, it will come, sure as a spring rain in Texas. Joy, my DW, just had her 6th or 7th fill. She's about as tight as a gnat's ass stretched over a rain barrel. The only thing getting thru there right now is liquid. After a fill or two you'll start to see the weight dropping off. In the mean time (after the fragging rain clears out) lets hear some screaming ! ! ! Lets ride ! ! !

Randy thanks for the encouragement. I sure do need it. This weekend is going to be a nice weekend for riding. Yesterday right after the fill I felt good restriction, But this morning I don't know. I know I need to start walking more, so when I got home last night I took my dog for a walk, or should I say he took me for a walk.
