Hi there! Of course you can. Why not? 🙂 I always appreciate links to my blog. Also, for all y’all anonymous writers out there, please note that if I don’t respond to your messages on my blog it’s because the question or answer was irrelevant/inappropriate for my readers. If you’d like a response either use a tumblr account or the submit page.

Any clue why motolady doesn’t load on the mac with chrome but does with Firefox? (could be just me, but figured you’d want to know.)

This would be a problem with your internet connection or computer- it can’t be replicated on other machines. I use Mac, and it works from my laptop, work computer, home desktop, and Justins laptop too. He uses Chrome, I use Firefox and Chrome, and Chrome at work.  I’m sorry for the trouble, but don’t know how I can help! I am releasing a new website soon, so maybe that will assist the errors people have on occasion.

Hello, I’d like to give a little bit of background… Although I have my drivers license, I have horrible anxiety getting behind the wheel of a car. I refuse to drive. But for some reason the idea of being on a motorcycle does not scare me. I feel like if I can learn to ride one, it maybe be liberating for me. I have gotten the first part of my motorcycle license, but have yet to actually get on top of one! Do you have any advice for first timers, especially if they may be nervous? Thank you!

Greetings! I know a few people who hate driving but love being on a bike. Motorcyclists often refer to cars as “cagers” and once you ride a bike you really can feel trapped as if you were locked up in a cage. Especially when you’re stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.  That being said, I love driving or riding anything that’s got power, for the most part. I love horses, cars, go-karts, motorcycles… so I actually don’t think I’m the best person to ask about this. However, I would always suggest signing up… Continue Reading »

A)Having to have a Tumblr acct to assign a name to any of my messages makes me feel like a creeper as I dont have one and therefor am forced to be resigned to “anonymous.” But, alas, I’ll live. B)I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Pintrest. It seems like the sort of site you would enjoy based on the formatting of your blog. In either case, I find a heap of my “Life’s a Ride” section of my acct comes from your site & I’d like to thank you for your inspiration. Please, keep it up.

Firstly… thanks for writing! A) Tumblr ask form doesn’t allow you to include links, but you can always use the submit page… then you can your email or whathaveyou. Or you could leave a comment on any of the pages with a plethora of logins (disqus, facebook, etc). Or you can email me… just delete the spaces out of this address and bam -> alicia @ themotolady.comB) I am aware of pinterest, though I have not used it very much. Mostly because I’ve already got about 800 other sites I use and… Continue Reading »

How did you like the electric bike, and how hard did you run it before it ran outta juice?

I really liked riding the Enertia. Once you get past the fact that you’re not shifting… there’s no clutch, no shifter. One speed, one gear… GO! Also it makes almost no sound. So while you ride by someone at 30 mph, you can still hear them talking! It’s crazy. I didn’t get to ride it far, maybe a quarter mile before it died. However, we were in this crazy black hole location that was killing all batteries, electronics, etc. So I don’t really blame the machine. Also it was only at 14%… Continue Reading »

Hey Alicia, my name is Craig. How is the monster build going so far? I have a 08 hyper 1100s. I have been thinking of doing some small simple changes. What would you recomend?

Hi Craig! The Monster Project is slow going, been waiting on a couple pieces of the puzzle to be finished before I move on to the full custom exhaust and such.  As for your Hyper… it’s hard to say what you should do without more info. What kind of look do you like? How do you like to ride? What is your budget? As I’m sure you know, Ducati customization is not a cheap thrill. But often times it is very, very worth it.  Are you looking for OEM parts? Or do… Continue Reading »

I hate to sound ignorant but why did you call them squids? Back in high school 20 years ago in my part of town squids were the people they call goth today. Ps. Your blog is awesome!

No worries, we can’t all be on the up and up with these confangled new terms. Squid is used when talking about an inexperienced rider. Generally the term came from the fact that squids go fast in a straight line but are slow around corners. They generally think themselves invincible, and don’t wear proper protection.  The definition according to the oh-so-reputable Urban Dictionary: A young motorcyclist who overestimates his abilities, boasts of his riding skills when in reality he has none. Squid bikes are usually decorated with chrome and various anodized bits…. Continue Reading »
