Still madly working on my site

I'm still trying to get my site up and running. It's taking longer than I expected, since I'm writing all the code myself. No Dreamweaver or Microsoft Crapsite software for me! Just pure html and css. For you webnerds, you know what I'm talking about. For those of you who aren't familiar, let's just say that instead of buying a box of Betty Crocker cake mix, and baking the cake that way, I've decided to make it all from scratch! Tastier on the inside and prettier on the outside.

On the way home from dinner last night with my husband, he took this really bad photo of me on my crackberry
In case you're wondering, that's not my scooter. I gave mine up 2.5 years ago!

In this pic, I'm wearing my fave Arai Quantum II helmet, and my cherished Vanson textile jacket. Too bad they discontinued this design already. It's a super dense cordura blend jacket, with multiple vents in the front rear, arms and back. I can't bear to part with it even though it's a size too big for me. And due to my lack of cup size, it's a little big up top. But it would definitely be great for a petite girl (Size 2-4) with a big chest. :-)

I'd better get back to programming my site. Hope to have things ready by this weekend. Yeah!

My first post! Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I'm so excited to have this platform to blog about everything related to women riding motorcycles and what, exactly they are wearing when they ride. As a female rider, you know that one of the main frustrations we have is finding gear that properly fits. Every woman is different. Two women who are the same 'size' may not necessarily be the same size in every part of her body. Everyone has a different body and when you're trying to find protective gear to fit you, you may have a hard time finding protective pants that will make room for your hips, or your thighs. Gear manufacturers forget that women come in so many shapes and sizes. Can't they make gear in petite/long/regular/plus size? One number isn't going to fit every woman.

I'm here to help. I love riding and I love shopping. What better way to combine these two loves than with a website wholly dedicated to helping women find protective gear. I strongly believe in safety first. As an MSF instructor, I am constantly aware of the risks of riding on a daily basis. One way to minimize this risk is to wear complete protection, head to toe; full-face helmet, leather gloves, riding jacket w/ armor, riding pants w/armor, and reinforced riding boots. I never ride my bike without every inch of my skin covered. I kind of like where my flesh is and really really would miss it!

So I hope you'll enjoy my blog and the content I'll be posting here and on my website. I'll do my best to keep the website updated first, and then the blog. My intention is to post something whenever a new link is added to my site so you can be notified (hopefully you're utilizing the wonder that are RSS feeds. If not, Read This First.

I hope to have my site finished by this weekend. It's definitely a labor of love and I had no idea it would take this long.
