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 »
Hi!! Just wanted to say I admire you! I’m few years away from my first bike, but since I can remeber I’m on the road on 2 wheels.. Keep up the good work, the world need more bikers chicks like YOU!
So sweet! Wow, thank you! The world needs more people who’ve been on 2 wheels since they can remember! Thanks again for the feedback, and feel free to submit content. 🙂
You might try an apostrophe in that tagline.
Oh? And you might try learning the English language. If you need a lesson, this one from The Oatmeal is very educational. Or did you mean something like this, “‘Cause ladies were born to ride and motorcycles were made for ridin’”? Because there is a distinct difference.
Isn’t the most important part of the squid name derived from their tenancy to do burnouts and leave inky black trails?
Thanks for chiming in, yes… that is their tendency. A very astute observation! (In response to the previously asked question about the term “Squid”.)
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 »
I just found your blog, and because of it, have gotten absolutely nothing done at work today. Thank you for all of the bike porn!
This gave me a good laugh. Thanks for the feedback, sorry you had an unproductive day… but please, stop by again! 🙂 And don’t forget… you can text “follow themotolady” to 40404 (within the US) to get updates via text message. 🙂 INSTANT gratification.
motolady! What brand are those cool boots? And where did you get them?
I assume you mean these ones? I’ve got 3 pairs of “fav” boots and, as of yesterday I’ve got one more! These were an ebay find, after wanting tall boots with ONLY buckles- I’ve had too many zippers fail and shoelaces break. I searched for about 3 hours straight, searching the depths of ebay for the right boots. I saw these for $35- the size was marked as “5” listed as Motocross boots. I asked the guy how long they were in inches, he told me 10.5”. That is no where near… Continue Reading »
