It seems like every time I turn around these days someone is touting their “custom” bike. What exactly is a custom? Harley-Davidson,  as you know, has a full line of “dark customs”.  Two years ago my pal, Greg White of Speed TV, hooked me up with a Vulcan Custom to ride. And now Honda is [...]

Happy 2009 everyone! I trust everyone has made it through the holidays and if you’re like me, you’re glad to get back to regular life. I have some cool things up my sleeve for the near future and a big road trip planned for this summer. While this may be the year of the Ox [...]

I said goodbye to my new friend, the 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan Custom. We were only together for one short month, but I will never forget our time together. (You can read all of our adventures together here.) If you’re a woman looking into getting a cruiser, I think this is a good option. I put [...]

Here’s another self-created video post. This past weekend we had great weather so I took the Vulcan Custom out for a ride to NH where we hit the shooting range. It was my first time shooting a gun and although I was really nervous when we got there, I did great (hit the bulls-eye on [...]

This weekend was the first time that the feeling of fall was evident. There was a crispness in the air, some leaves that have fallen from trees were swirling around on the ground and the need for a jacket or sweatshirt apparent. Unfortunately for me, that also means that riding time is dwindling. Kawasaki graciously [...]

I was looking forward to riding down to Cape Cod for multiple personal reasons and because I was finally going to take the Vulcan out for a good, long ride. The weather was hot-the thermometer read 91 degrees and the sun was blazing. From Salem to Provincetown, according to Google, is 141 miles. Taking some [...]

My plan for a long weekend road trip got kiboshed. I won’t go into detail because it really doesn’t matter. I did go for a little local ride through a couple of the coastal North shore towns: Salem, Swampscott and Marblehead. I took as many winding and turning roads and I could to get a [...]

I have to be honest: when they told me this was the model of the motorcycle they wanted to loan me I immediately looked it up on Kawasaki.com. My initial reaction to this bike was kinda eh. I didn’t like how the bike seemed to be mash-up of a sport bike and a cruiser with [...]

As promised, here’s a few pictures from yesterday when the Vulcan got dropped off to me! This is Harold, who made a special trip fro NJ to MA to drop off this pretty machine. And to give me paperwork to fill out and sign. There it is. The 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom. Ain’t it [...]

When I started this blog back in April, I didn’t know what it had in store for me. I wasn’t sure if I could get traffic to this site. Didn’t know if anyone would be interested in what I had to say as a female biker. In the early months I even considered throwing in [...]
