Vasilisa Komarova took a dream motorcycle road trip. Camping in Bolivia she was attacked by three men with machetes, raped, and left for dead. “We have to stand up to the abuse and never lose hope.” Read the story and find out how to help.
Hey there! I really enjoy your blog. I am a fellow female Portlander and recently bought a bike (a beautiful ’76 Honda CB500T!). I was wondering if you knew any female mechanics out there that you could recommend. I was hoping to find a motorcycle mama to take care of my baby. I thought you’d be in the know. Thanks for all the great pics. Ride safe, Sam
First, I want to just giggle at “fellow female” because it is amusingly oxymoronic. And yet it totally makes sense!
And secondly, CONGRATULATIONS! I resist typing an excessive amount of exclamation points but it’s worth a few more… !!!!! !! !
Is it the orange ‘76 CB that Thor from See See Cycles was selling? If so, I am j-j-j-jealous! Or maybe that was a ‘77… Anywho, that is a RAD bike and you will have so much fun on it, I am sure.
I actually don’t know any female moto mechanics in Portland, but maybe my readers can help me out with this…? Holla…! I am always down to assist in wrenching, although yes my knowledge is limited.
Rubber down, sister.
