My Four Biker Chicks
December 19, 2009

I have often said that I am one of the luckiest men in the world. There are dozens of reason why I’m so lucky but one of the reasons is that I have 4 great biker chicks in my life.

Some of you might think I’m bragging. Some of you might think I am lying. I assure you that I have 4 biker chicks in my life and I am not exaggerating.

• My Mother: When I bought my most recent motorcycle, my 69 year old mother confided that she always wanted to ride a motorcycle and never had the opportunity. During her last visit, we hopped on the bike and rode for about 2 hours. After a few adjustment moments when she first got on, she absolutely loved it. Her first motorcycle ride was on one of South Florida’s most scenic roads; the historic A1A. This is a memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

• My Sister: My sister has always been cautious by nature but she wanted to ride after seeing how much fun my mother and I had. So, we took off and she immediately started screaming. She shrieked in my ear, “slow down, I have small children!!” We rode for about 15 minutes and she had enough. It’s a start.

• My Niece: My 8 year old niece who is a little dare-devil was the most enthusiastic about riding on my motorcycle. She is a bit too small to ride on the back of my bike so I rode her in front of me in the parking lot of my community. After riding up and down my parking lot a few times, she is in love with motorcycles. Ever since that day, every time I speak to her, she asks about my motorcycle.

• My Girlfriend: A few years ago when I decided to re-start my motorcycle hobby, my girlfriend was not too happy about it. She had never been on a motorcycle and her overall impression was negative. Once I started riding with my new motorcycle friends, she started to complain about it little bit. I told her that I am going to continue to ride so she can either deal with it or ride with me. I told her that I would buy her a bike if she takes a motorcycle rider safety class. She took the class, I bought her a bike, and we have been riding together ever since.

Convincing new people to get on a bike is always an experience, sometimes it’s great and sometimes a short ride is the best ride.  Just remember to put safety first and encourage friends and family members who want to ride on their own to take a motorcycle safety course before buying a bike.
