That is a wonderful photo of the both of you. <BR/><BR/>I love hearing the different stories of how women got in to riding motorcycles. 1999 was also an important year for me, the year I became hooked on bikes with the purchase of a new Suzuki GS500. That was so many years and so many bike ago :) <BR/><BR/>AnnaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360049377814446360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-30355973078521022912008-10-23T12:42:00.000-05:002008-10-23T12:42:00.000-05:00Hi Gail - I recognize you from the AMA cover... ma...Hi Gail - I recognize you from the AMA cover... mag is sitting on my kitchen table for perusing... I'll have to make a point of doing it sooner than later. I totally agree with you about what you are sharing with your daughter. I took my 16-year old girl with me this summer on a week long ride through the Alps as well. What an adventure and lifetime memories! I hope to do more with her too. Look forward to perusing more of your adventures!<BR/><BR/>Warmest,<BR/>TylerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-71888350042153664752008-10-10T04:15:00.000-05:002008-10-10T04:15:00.000-05:00I am enjoying reading your blog...just found it re...I am enjoying reading your blog...just found it recently. I am a fellow rider, on an old model beemer. CS650 that I bought here in Italy so I can truly enjoy their roads! I had a similar experience as you...where friends told me not to get a bike. Too dangerous etc. I was in the States at the time...got the divorce first, then the bike (A Suzuki Savage 650, that my ex helped me to choose...funny as he was one who didn't want me to get the bike). It is about following your own dream, which makes you truly free. For me, that freedom is exemplified when I ride. It is an experience that energizes me and makes me truly feel alive. I think you feel the same and above all, I love that you are showing your daughter that life doesn't have to fall in traditional categories. Once again, glad I found your blog.<BR/>BevAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-40477571612072258192008-10-03T18:04:00.000-05:002008-10-03T18:04:00.000-05:00My oh my - who are those pretty ladies on the cove...My oh my - who are those pretty ladies on the cover of that magazine? <BR/>Makes me ALMOST wish I had joined the AMA just so I could get the magazine.<BR/>Well done you two - enjoyed Lisa's contribution to the story.

This trip has been amazing for me (and friends say the same things to you even when you are going with another male partner) but I am not so sure I would have had the courage to go alone for my first big trip. (I have only just stopped dropping my bike a lot, 2 weeks without a drop! well one – but that was offroading and shouldnt count!). ;)<BR/><BR/>But it takes guts to go at all, let alone by yourself. And I am so impressed you are teaching your daughter not to be afraid of the world!!!! Girls are alwys told we cant, when we should be told we can!

Not that I recognized the photo right off, but because of familiarity with your blog. It was top of mind. <BR/><BR/>You deserve all the good things that have come your way. Mostly because you do things the old fashioned way. You work for it and earn it. In the process you're passing it along to your daughter who, hopefully, will do her own passing along. Here's a heartfelt salute with honor!irondadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821323482397075170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-82419185404179665342008-09-17T15:11:00.000-05:002008-09-17T15:11:00.000-05:00How awesome!

What constantly gets me when I see the road through your lens is that there just *isn't* enough women on bikes with the tenacity and passion you have obviously got! When I see the the pair of you on all sorts of roads and in all sorts of conditions, from driving rain...to snow, my jaw just literaly drops on the keboard with a "how about that" simultaneously uttering from my lips.<BR/><BR/>After reading your blog, I can honestly say that here is a woman (and her intrepid daughter)who dances to the beat of her own drum. Like they say, "you've just gotta do what you gotta do"!!!<BR/><BR/>Keep the shiny side up.<BR/>ducktourerducktourerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774964691346941274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-85043684006938514072008-09-11T16:58:00.000-05:002008-09-11T16:58:00.000-05:00Congratulations on your cover!Rev'it and Joe Rocke...Congratulations on your cover!<BR/><BR/>Rev'it and Joe Rocket should give you both a fee for modeling their gear so nicely. :)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582046943770681695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-52211867484120583262008-09-11T15:54:00.000-05:002008-09-11T15:54:00.000-05:00Hello Gail!Thanks for checking in on my adventures...Hello Gail!<BR/>Thanks for checking in on my adventures this summer....What a great cover for the AMA, Congrats!<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/>Jacqui Van Ham<BR/>http://TheVintageAdvantage.comThe Vintage Advantagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15753120992430683174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-89915974342167278422008-09-11T12:55:00.000-05:002008-09-11T12:55:00.000-05:00Ms. SheRidesABeemer,Just to cool!

I've made print a couple of time but they were just candid shots at some rallys. To make the cover would make my head swell to were my Shoei would never fit again. <BR/><BR/>So way to go! You should be very proud of this and what you have done with and for your daughter.<BR/><BR/>fasthairAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
