Hi Ladies,
A bit of part-crashing, for which I apologize, but I saw a couple of Washington State posts, and the bit about Harley's caught my eye also.
I ride with a small group (W.O.M.E.N.--Women On Motorcycles Enjoying Nature) and we run the gamut from my Airhead R80/7 to a couple of HD's to brand new BMW's to Yamaha RD350 "Two-Smokers" and back to my 1969 Triumph Bonneville. Personally I don't like being behind a straight-pipe Harley, but I wear earplugs anyway, so that helps. (And again personally, I believe that Loud Suits Save Lives....)
Anyway, the point is that early on, we agreed not to knock each others rides, and it works for us......although I did point out that I needed to be the first one to start up in the morning, since I can't tell if Millie (My R80, 'cause compared to the rest of my bikes, she is Thoroughly Modern) is running or not, once the Big Twins light off.....
So I guess I'm really just dropping in to say a Newbie "Hi!" from Skagit County, Washington, here in the snow.
