Motorcycle Vagina, WTF?!

http://www.balloon-juice.com/2013/07/10/motorcyclevagina-its-a-thing-happening-in-north-carolina/

Two words I never thought I would place in the same sentence, ever. 

It's bad enough that legislators in certain states keep proposing insane laws limiting the control over our own bodies, but even worse when they add it to a motorcycle safety bill! It's about as absurd as me posting a diagram of a woman's reproductive system on a blog about motorcycle gear. 

"SB 353 is a motorcycle safety act that would increase fines and penalties for drivers who endanger motorcyclists on the road"

The original legislation sounds great, at least for motorcyclists in NC. I just hope they actually pass that part, since most motorcycle accidents are attributed to other cars/vehicles overtaking us. 

At least, that's what it was originally intended to be. Instead of focusing on women's reproductive rights, why don't they focus on subjects such as, oh I don't know; creating jobs for it's citizens,  improving it's infrastructure or increasing health insurance options?

Awesome video of a short rider on a tall motorcycle

There are definitely ways around riding motorcycles that are too tall and this should be taught to everyone! Myself included. 

REV'IT Levante Jacket Review, by ADVGoddess

Check out my girl Cristi's review of the Levante. A fantastic, 3 season, 3/4 length jacket for almost year round riding (depending on how cold your 4th season is). The fit is nice and long, but with the usual REV'IT fitment; flattering yet easy to wear. With a nice pricepoint of $299, this might be your next purchase.

End of an Era

Now that I have a little more free time, I'm going to try and actually write things, on my BLOG. I guess the first thing to tell you is that it's over. 

After 6-7 years (I can't remember the exact number of years anymore), I'm no longer working at one of the best motorcycle shops in San Francisco. With new ownership came new changes and sadly, I was one of the many. I'm bummed but I'm not going to let this get in the way of what I love the most. 

Helping you (women) find motorcycle gear. 

I don't know exactly what I want to do, but I'm a firm believer that when these kinds of things happen (sudden, unexpected) that something better is coming along. I have to believe that otherwise I'll end up crying myself to sleep every night. 

If I had a boatload of cash I'd open my own shop, but that's just not possible right now. 

Stay tuned?
