Re:opinionated help needed 1 Year, 9 Months ago

My Girl is 5'3 and can out ride most guys I know! She gets on her bike and rides it like she stole it!

That and her flaming red hair is what attracted me to her in the first place lol.

That being said.....My roadie is entirly to large for her. Lucklily for me she is smart enough to know that to! How can you ride safley when you cant even get your feet flat on the ground?

She rides a 650 VStar that just the right size for her to ride SAFE!

Know your limitations and what you can and cannot do. Dont let pride get in your way of trying to be cool.

a wise man once said.....Stupidity will be painfull!
