I have a 2003 Honda shadow 750. Was wondering if after weight loss will I be able to hold it up. Does anyone have an issue with it.

I ride a 2010 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom, but unfortunately I'm no help to you because I had surgery less than a week ago. I am interested in seeing how this plays out. Thanks for asking the question!

Yes. Lots of thin women ride big bikes.

If you're doing what your surgeon tells you, you should lose weight but not strength.

If you could hold it up before, you'll be able to hold it up after. WLS doesn't deplete your skeletal stability ;)

I ride a Harley Street Glide (pretty big touring bike) and after a 90 pound weight loss I DID have some issues with control in parking lots! I dropped a couple of times over the summer and it had been years since that happened for me! But nothing that couldn't be fixed with some re-training on the part of the rider! I found that I needed to get out and practice counterbalancing in tight situations. I did finally end up replacing my 08 Street Glide with a 2014 Street Glide Special which feels a bit tighter due to the re-work on the frame\fairing but in reality is just as big a bike as my 08. I've seen women smaller than me throw around an Ultra like it was a toy! It has little to do with your size as long as you can flat foot and everything to do with your skill!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
