I apologize if there is a place where this thread would be more appropriate -- I haven't been able to find such.
I've been the happy, contented passenger on the back seat of
my partner's motorcycle for almost five years now. But after many conversations, seeing so many women riders, and in attending a
traveler's motorcycle gathering last weekend, I've realized I'd really like to learn to ride myself and have my own bike. I'm not saying I'll give up the back of the motorcycle entirely, but I'd like to be able to ride myself as well, so that we could travel to more places, and for longer periods of time, by motorcycle.
What I'm looking for is a web site where a woman talks about how she got
started riding, and what it was like on her
first travels by motorcycle. I've looked through various web sites by women motorcycle travelers, but haven't found the really
basic information I'm looking for -- the initial challenges and how they were overcome, and a really good pep talk.
If there isn't such basic information on the web site, would any women bike travelers out there be willing to do an email interview with me, and answer some of my many questions based on your own experience?
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
