I am only 5'1 and weigh 98lbs so going from an unladen 550lb sporty to a 750lb softail was quite a jump for me and took some time in building confidence. Cho- i would love to ride with you sometime if and when you get your 48! i ride alone which i recognize is not always safe but seem to find it challenging to find other lady riders to ride with. i tried riding with a group of men but they rode too hard and fast for my comfort zone. i live in sherman oaks so if you are ever interested in buddying up.. let me know! good luck with your new Harley! the 48… whats not to love about it? the reversed upside down mirrors, the 90 front tire, the raised peanut tank, the whole bobber esthetic of it is like a wet dream.. well almost.Harley has really made an all around awesomely fun and attractive bike. when i first started riding about 3 years ago, the sportster 883 low was my first ride. loved that bike. it had a classic retro harley style and could zip through the nightmere of LA traffic with ease. however i think having the skinny front tire made it a little shakey on the freeways. the 48 with its fat front tire provided for a more solid and stable ride.

Absolutely loving it. Had 2 Harley's prior to the 48, a Springer Softail & a Softail Deluxe. The 48 is the most fun. I have Vance Hines staggered short shots exhaust, Screaming Eagle Heavy Breather & SE Power Commander. It is very quick now n very loud. Go on buy the 48, you won't regret it.

The fat smile on my face took over the room, I know it! Reading your description of riding made me feel right in describing moto riding as meditation, being in nothing but the moment, feeling every part of your body on your beloved 2 wheeled dream machine- no matter what you ride it's a dream machine. Cho? do you read these? I need a sign. Put the word \ginger\ in your next blog! I so love motorcycles! Omg! The fat smile on my face took over the room, I know it!

I've been riding Harley for 5 years, I bought a Nightster 2 years ago and it's a fast fun ride! I am 5'8" and I think my Nightster is just a tad to small for me but I ride the hell out of it anyway :) It's the lowest Harley makes (back when I bought it) which I think gives the rider better control. The controls are SUPER smooth and I feel like I am totally incontrol while riding. On a shitty note - I did crash the summer I bought it. I was not drunk (I never ever ever drink and ride, who the fuck does that?) I was riding with some crazy ass bikers who were way more advanced riders than me and trying to keep up. These days I stick to the lone wolf idea. :) It sucked. Road rash, no helmet. I was an idiot! I always ride with a brain bucket now. I think I gave myself a lobotomy. still have the scar on my forearm but gonna tattoo that up soon when my other arm is done. Anyway... Saw a 48 last summer, looks pretty cool and from what I remember looked like a fun ride! Good luck and safe travels! - Wendy from Minnesota Hey Cho!
