What do you ride and why?

[Lady_Bacon]

Hey Grrlz!
I'm wondering what y'all ride and why... Soooo, I'll start off: I ride a 1989 Sportster that started life as a shy, sedate 883cc machine in a pretty blue color - but has evolved into a 1200cc monstah! I always wanted a Sportster so I bought one! Also have a 1983 XL1000 that I'll fix up a bit more and sell next spring. May go for a 1200 Custom as I simply LIKE the way Sportsters handle and GO... (I'll post a pic as soon as I figure out how to download it from my camera)...

Hi!

I started on a 350 Honda back in '78. It was what I could afford (to drop!) and handle. But I wanted a Harley because of the whole Harley thing.

When the kids got old enough to go with us I bought a trike from the White Bear Lake folks and that worked good traveling with children.

After they moved on I bought a Sportster. Then I quit riding for a handful of years.

A couple of years ago I got the riding bug again and called a local dealer and asked him to find me a Harley trike. He came up with this late Nineties 1300cc red Sportster for me. So it wasn't a matter of choice, but rather expedience.

I wouldn't have chosen red, myself. Thought it looked a little boxy and had plans to have the front forks extended until I found out what it would cost.

I've already got the bug again and may go looking for something else in a year or two. It all depends on how healthy husband and I continue to be.

I've got a '99 FLHTCI. My 2nd bagger - bought the first one in '94. I like having locking bags and the stereo. I love to travel and it's got enough room for all of my crap without having to look like a rolling pile of laundry going down the road.

She's got her share of mods as well... and quick for a "little" 95-inch motor thanks to some very capable "massagers".
