Last week, I tried on my motorcycle pants that I haven't worn since I started losing weight. They used to be a tight fit, now they don't fit at all, they completely fall off! I'll have to get a new pair.

I currently ride a Yamaha FZ6R after having been on cruisers for a few years. I got tired of dragging parts in the twisties!

Moved to NW Arkansas in 2011 from SE Texas. There are tons of great roads here!

My bike past-

Suzuki TS185- first bike, still have it, needs some work (a friend crashed into a fence trying to learn to ride.)
Kawasaki Vulcan 750- still have it- stator died on a long trip. I'm collecting the parts to rebuild this one- love it!
Yamaha VStar 650- sold it
Harley XL1200L- traded it for the current bike, (like I said, got tired of dragging parts in the twisties)

I've taken a couple of really long trips:

2008- 12,000 mile around the country trip with my husband Blog- http://ctoons124.blogspot.com/
2010- Rode to Washington, DC with my friend JJ (Yep, 2 chicks on bikes alone- It was INCREDIBLE!)

I am really looking forward to getting the thinner me on my bike. Now, if the weather would just cooperate!

    Welcome! Congrats on those pants woo-hoo!

    I really want to get to your area sometime soon. I keep wanting to go to Bikes Blues & BBQ in the worst way, but usually by the time fall gets here I don't have any time off left LOL.

    BBB is incredible! Last fall, they paired Bikes, Blues, and BBQ with Bikes, Babes, and Bling- so lots of vendors and things for the girls.

    You have to make a trip here sometime! One of the reasons we decided to move here was the great motorcycle roads!

    My first one too! First crash too. Currently still sitting in the garage. Kinda runs, but I can't get the electrics working right. Oil pump went out causing the engine to seize, so I did a top-end rebuild a few years ago.

    Congrats on the NSV! I'm waiting for the same one.
