Crusader whats wrong with the hair ? It dosen't look too different from mine. The leathers look a little too white, ( I don't see any bug guts or dirt, oil, or other splats). Sounds like you have been riding quite a while. I like that so many women are riding their own bikes.
The hair was a nuisance and it went whatever direction it wanted to! I gave up and got rid of the hair in 1995. After I cut if off, I was forced to buy a new helmet! :lol: Because that helmet was too loose! :lol: That photo is very old - maybe '92 to '94? I think the leathers were brand new. They are definitely dirty now. I had started road racing and wore them then but my friend crashed the bike that we were sharing and that ended my racing days. :(

Don't own a bike (yet) but both my brother and father rode. My dad hit a cow on his 175cc Francis Barnett, late one night. They never found the cow - they found my dad after 45 mins of laying concussed in the road. My brother had a CZ and a Triumph Speed Twin - He broke his leg! My parents banned me from riding. However, friends I rode with have owned BSAs, Nortons, etc. etc.

I will have a bike one day! My dream choices range from a (new) Triumph Bonneville, Ducati 960 or BMW 'R' of some description. It's all a pipedream at the moment, since I bought a bright red Chev Cobalt SS with a supercharger and a stage 2 performance pack..............245HP.............

Previous bikes include: Honda 305 scrambler, 1972 Triumph Bonniville (only one I bought new), Harley 350 scrambler (made by Benelli, I think), 70's Yamaha 750, 70's Harley Sportster 1000 kick start (what a bear to kick!), and a Suzuki 50 moped. Only bike at present is 1973 Honda CT 90. Haven't ridden on road for about 20 years. I use the 90 to put around our 40 acres but may register for on road use.

I have an old Honda 250 dual sport. I love to ride off-road, but mostly am on pavement on back-roads. I'm more afraid of animals and dumb 4-wheeler drivers than the bike itself because I respect it and hate road rash. My worst accident came when a dog darted into the road right in front of me. Now it is deer that I most fear -- lots of them along back roads!

A buddy took a shot to the head from a large owl one day at 55 mph. He barely kept the bike up, and had feathers and owl poop all over his leather jacket!

My list of Motorcycles-Scooters- Motorbikes.

My first was at 12 years old, (1955) had a paper route and bought a Schwin with a front motor mounted on top of the front tire. Leaked oil and blew back on my pants. Took it back. They never did catch on in the market.

Second was a Lambratta style 3 speed, 2 cycle…had trany problems. Took it back too.

Third was a big red 1947 Indian Chief with shift lever and throttle on opposite side, and a suicide clutch. Almost got killed on it twice. Sol it to an Ohio State Trooper Sgt. cheap

My brother then got a Harley 175, I rode it off and on. Good bike, liked it, but it was his.

Fourth was a 1958 Cushman Eagle with a 2 speed **** lever, bought it for $35.00 in 1973.
Gave it to my father-in-law and he fixed it up and drove it to work for a while. Got it back when he died. Now it belongs to my son. Now a classic collectors item

Fifth was a 50 CC Suzuki, 2 cycle. Fun to putter around on.

Sixth was a Honda 160. Ok to run around town

Seventh was a new 1980 Yamaha 400. Great bike, I loved it, and rode it to work but then wanted something bigger and with other stuff.

Eighth was a Yamaha 1980 3 cylinder 850 with full faring and back box with shaft drive. Rode it to work which was 15 miles each way. Liked it a lot. Kept it until 1990 and gave it to my son who lived in Omaha. He kept it a short while and sold it. Was too many close calls in the big city traffic.

None since but maybe again someday. Who knows.

Do ATV's count? I grew up riding an ever more powerful series of motocross bikes in the 70's. When I was 15, I slammed one about 6' up the backside of a concrete block concession stand after leaving the track boundary. Race days were over because neither the sponsors nor my mother would give me another bike. I've never been back on one. I never rode a street bike. What fun is that? The roads are all flat and you can get ticket if you ride a wheelie or get airborne.

For the past 5 years, I've been riding my brother-in-law's Suzuki ATV. 600cc, 4 speed, about 50MPH top end. Heavily modified suspension, tires, exhaust and clutch. I spend a week at his place in bumble every year and put about 100 miles on some very rough terrain, never flat or straight. I am currently sporting a bruised elbow, bruised ribs on the right, and a purple bruise about 6" in diameter on my right thigh just under my hip. I dumped the clutch a little too early sliding around a turn in a dry creekbed and the quad tried to climb a tree. It did a barrel roll and landed upside-down about 10 feet farther down the creek. I ejected at a 90 degree angle and hit the side of the creekbed from my helmet to my knee. I was the most fun I've had since last year's ride. Always wear helmet, goggles, torso protector, padded riding shirt, long pants, boots and riding gloves. Luckily, I'm too old for my mother to take it away from me and my brother-in-law's motto on off-road riding is, "If you ain't wreckin', you ain't really ridin'!"
