Here’s one from instagram yesterday- removing the seat to update the battery in the Rattler is quite the ordeal.

Lana (who does photography and runs the Women’s Moto Exhibit) and I went out today to shoot some photos for giveaways (keep an eye out). I snapped this one of her on the XS400 with my phone on the ride back to home base.

On the road? Need a safe place to park your bike? Well, just make sure it doesn’t leak and you get stay in a motel on the bottom level. Perfect for road trips.

This Yamaha RD350 advertisement is a picture of historical perfection. Hilarious, effective, and many would say… rather accurate. 

“Don’t feel bad. You’re not the first 750 rider to get blown off by a Yamaha 350.”

This Yamaha R1 riding, AGV full face helmet having, one piece race suit wearing mystery motolady has bounced all over the internet and I can’t for the life of me find out who she is. 

Well, chick. Thumbs up to you for being decked out in safe gear, now go ride the piss out of that thing.

Submission from the lovely Elizabeth Bacon-

Here’s me on one of my very first rides on my vintage ‘77 Yamaha XS400. I took the rider training course, and first rode a moto under my own power in summer ‘12. Bike is bone stock in this shot. I laid it down after about four weeks of riding, though. (Totally rider error…a decreasing radius left-hander, and I thought I was entering the turn too hot, but instead of looking ahead and leaning in and making it, I sat up, braked, and looked straight so naturally I rode right off the road. Fortunately relatively low-speed, I just jammed a finger and bruised my thigh.) Now my bike has new handlebars, headlamp & turn signals. I’d like to make the seat less tall, but am not committed to going full-on brat style — mostly because I have no budget right now. Very happy to be a motolady too! Waiting eagerly for any sunny days this winter…. Keep up the beautiful stuff!

Thanks for the awesome note, Elizabeth! Glad to hear you hopped back on the horse, it really sounds like you’re born to ride like so many of us motorcyclists feel!
