STN's Pool of Knowledge for Women Riders

[jadziadax8]

Dude, you weren't whining at all!! Plus, at least I wasn't puking during my back problems!  I'm scared to death that I might wind up with morning (all day) sickness someday!  

"Morning sickness" is a cruel, cruel euphemism!

rocketbunny, lately, I've been getting my 2 wheel fix by hauling the kiddo around in a Burley trailer behind my bike (gotta wait until they're 1).  A fast downhill *almost* feels as good as wicking it up on the backroads.

Does anyone have a lead on any blogs by moms who ride/tour?     Googling things like "motorcycling moms" etc just brings up pages of crap about how bikes are dangerous and that ANY GOOD MOTHER would SELL THAT THING RIGHT AWAY.

it's true: you should sell THAT THING and buy a Ural

Check out Fuzzygalore's blog if you haven't already. It's not really about being a mother who rides but that's what she is. Her munchkin just got a new dirt bike a few months ago. She makes an occasional appearance.

I've been reading it a lot lately!  I just dropped her an email, too, so hopefully I didn't sound like a creeper.

I must be the world's worst mom.  I'm already asking The Sprout if he wants to ride with mommy on the motorcycle.

FWIW, I never gave up riding. Not during pregnancies, not during child-raising. As soon as the kids were big enough to reach the footpegs, they rode with me.

Fixed!!

I confess to looking forward to taking birth announcement pictures with blueberry in the Givi tail bag.

I can testify that lil Miles is growing up well adjusted, funny, and happy . . . . . all that noise musta been good for him!

At a recent get-together, he walked up to my wife, grabbed her by the hand, and wandered off with her . . . the kid's got it!

Seriously ? No post on here since Feb 2012 ?  

Where are all the lady ST riders out there ?  Hellllloooooo ?  

[Mrs. DantesDame]

I'm here, but I have nothing womanly to say  

What's new on your end of town?

Well hi there - lol that could be the reason this thread is so stale...!  

Not much other than the bike show just blew outta town and the countdown is on for spring.  Only another let's see....4 months.  

[bluepoof]

I'm here too!    I'm still riding my one day per week but with the holidays and rainy weather I haven't been putting on many miles.  I'm hoping to get a nice ride in a week from tomorrow...fingers crossed that the weather holds.

Oh you lucky girl!! Very, very jealous you can ride at this time of year - even in the rain!

Haven't been riding much, but we did just take kiddo (now 13 months) on a car trip through south-eastern Utah. She slept through most of Canyonlands NP, had a meltdown during the hike to Delicate Arch (Arches NP), and played in some snow at her aunt's house in Denver.

My ST needs a trip to the dealer. It never really woke up after the pregnancy (I'm thinking maybe a bad coil), but I did some riding on the F650GS over the summer. Both are parked in the garage for now. #2 is due in mid-June. I'm hoping to be able to start doing motorcycle trips again in spring/summer 2014.

Congrats!!
