Triumph by Motorcycle - Woman on a Mission
Last year I posted I would be doing a round trip ride to the Panama Canal and back from the Boston area. I completed my mission of 15,000 miles in 60 days on my beloved Triumph Bonneville.
I shared my story with MOTORESS readers. Here is the article. Woman Motorcycle Enthusiast - MOTORESS, Connecting Women With Motorcycling and much more- Motoress.com! Last edited by mvelazquez; 01-22-2013 at 06:48 PM.. Reason: put the wrong link |

That sounds like an experience that'll be tough to top!
Congratulations!

Accomplished
To think you made the entire trip while having to endure the constant barrage of male misogyny but somehow were able to find a few good gentlemen along the way. Those jealous bastards could not possibly appreciate you bravery. All of that accomplished while being a damsel in distress. It boggles the mind. Not to mention the free service. I wonder if they would have given free service to any of the misogynists. One can only hope that they will eventually accept a woman standing her ground through all challenges. NO TEARS. It could be your mission statement.

But all the best "authority" sez that a Bonneville is unsuitable for touring. No auto windshield and less than 1500 hp.

Here's a tip: don't ride alone in India. Apparently gang-rape is the national pastime.

Good for you, sounds like quite the trip. Good choice on bikes too, simple is always best if you're out in the back of beyond. All that gee-whizz electronics on more modern bikes is wonderfull until it quits working and leaves you sitting on the side of the road.

Simple machine always better.
I want a BMW F700GS but worry about the technology and on-board computers. Quote:

Not all the men that accompanied me were difficult. There were some true gentlemen and I hope to someday ride my motorcycle alongside of them. There are wonderful men in the world, just a few bad apples...
