I'm a mother, photographer, and beginner motorcycle rider. Tag along as I try out different bikes, learn to ride, do reviews, and just have fun on two wheels!
Welcome to my channel! I'm a mother of six, photographer and beginner motorcycle rider. The purpose of this channel is to document my journey learning to safely ride a motorcycle. I'll bring you a first hand perspective of what it's like learning to ride - all the fears, challenges, close calls, and exciting milestones! And because my husband is constantly trying out different bikes, I'll also do test rides, reviews, and share my opinions on all the bikes he brings through the garage.
The AC Thruxton is a bike built for purists, can´t expect it to be a last year Yamaha. Not for everyone. It´s like a 60-70´s bike with modern reliability but all the drawbacks classic bikes have about ergonomy, equipment or handling (although it does handle well) And it rusts as hell, I can tell you after 14 years of ownership. But still is the only bike I´ve have had I wouldn´t sell
The 1200 Thruxton is bit more agile and lighter but probably tad to much power to learn on , Triumph should do a 900 Thruxton based on the speed twin 900 (water cooled ) . The 900 water cooled is great engine nice power were you need it , it feels less peaky than the old 900 air cooled
Hi man I watched your video and honestly I would really like to sell my fat bob 114 for an FXDX like you have in your video. Is this a wise choice? I plan to do a stage 2 + cascade of sprocket.. Thanks for your review 😎✌️
n0w ready 4 my 5th scoot & found a 2005 Sporty 883 that i can tinker with 4 under $2k i like the machined spoke mags & back sack rack, bt wud rather hav another 1200 Sporty if i can find 1.
4th scoot was a Sporty 1200. daYum nice bike, wished i never sold it, bt the ketch sailboat was more important & cud go in places the scoot could not...
I aquired a 1994 1200XLH Sporty almost two years ago and i absolutely love it! The ho eymoon never ends! Never rode the Dyna though, I look forward to trying....
I bet you will enjoy that bike after you have about 5 years riding other bikes that you are comfortable with. I wonder where your at with it now, some four years later.
I have the 2013 for the past 8 years and have put on 56k Miles. No issues with maintenence etc. And "Smooth" is exactly how I would describe the bike. MY INSEEM IS ONLY 29 INCHES, so I tippy toe a bit, but it is very doable.
I just got a 2004 Harley sportster 883 and I love it the sound everything, the only thing I say is that I’m worried the top heavy will get the best of me, any tips on getting better with the top heaviness please and thank you?!
Hello Jackie, my opinion has nothing to do with you being a girl its the same for boy's. To become a better rider faster, get a lower, lighter bike that doesn't scare you. You'll be able to use the throttle and clutch. Keep this bike for later, maybe six months or so. Good luck and be careful.
FORGET ALL OF THAT! I have a 2013 Thruxton with 30,000 miles on it, and it is a stellar bike. Runs, Drives and Handles Great! It’s not a super sport crotch rocket… it is what it is, and it does it well. Some can’t help but complain about everything…
Thank you for your comments. I hesitate about Harley Street 750 and Kawasaki Vulcan S before your video but after I agree with you about the driving position is more comfortable in Vulcan S.. and this is the most important 🤘😎🏍💨💨Full Throttle ✊🏻💜
I just bought a 2009 Sport 1200 custom, only 3.5K miles on it. I am ecstatic over this bike ~ it is everything I expected and more! 5'2" tall, bought a 1" lowering bracket and my feet are planted. Love this bike ~
Hey did changing out your stock seat help with the flatfoot or did the bike already come w that seat? I just got the 2016 and the seat is on the wider side making my heels lift off the ground. I’m closer to 5’5 as well. Lmk pls thanks
