Our New Motorcycle

[MrsBoopster]

We went and got it yesterday straight off the showroom floor. A Honda Shadow Sabre 1100cc. The color is Black Cherry. It is sweet. The pictures do it no justice at all.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Moon Beam.. welcome to the forum!!

[MrsBoopster]

We will be safe. And we will have lots of fun.

welcome to the forums Moonbeam!

[Bikerbettyboop]

It sure is a pretty motorcycle!

[*Laura*]

did you go anywhere this week end with your bike?

[Bikerbettyboop]

Great question Laura, I was wondering the same thing.. so how about it Mrs. B... did you ride your new bike yet?

[MrsBoopster]

We Went for a short ride on it Saturday. It was fun! We got a friend of ours to drive our car with the kids in it to church Sunday night and James and I rode the bike. It was fun too! Got a little chilly on the way home but I enjoyed it alot. Can't wait to go riding again.

[livingbooper]

love the bike

i drive a honda cb 250 nighthawk --- love it to bits :D :D :D :D
My first motorcycle was a 450 Nighthawk. It sure was fun! The smaller bikes are more "zippy", although they do vibrate more on the open road. Right now it is junked in my backyard but I hope to restore it one day....

It sounds like you had a lot of fun. Once you get the bug... well... you just have to RIDE! I still need to replace my broken side mirror. I can't decide whether to just buy the one mirror stock or go for a pair of custom mirrors.

Here is me last summer in front of my Honda Shadow. The bike right behind it is my boyfriend's Honda VTX 1300.

If we all rode together we would look like a Honda ad!!! And we would be color co-ordinated with our red bikes!:D

[MrsBoopster]

That is a nice bike Livingbooper. it would be great for us all to go riding together, if we all lived closer to each other. : )
DH got a set of bags for his bike. It has the saddlebags, windshield bag, tool bag, sissy bar bag, barrel bag and backpack. They are diamond plate roman rock design, buffalo leather. They are going to look great on the bike. Now all we have to get is a windshield for it. He won't let me put BB on it.

[MamaMo]

Great looking bike. My husband and I ride together. We have Yamaha Ventures 84 & 89. He does the driving to big for me. I want a trike though. But I have shirts that I made myself with Betty Boop on them along with my ID of MamaMo. That is the name that I also go by on the Venture site that we are on.

[livingbooper]

Yay! Another motorcycling Booper!:D :D
Once again, welcome to the forum MamaMo!

Awwwww!!!!!!

Would he let you Boop the windshield at least? That's removeable.... Mine is etched with Betty Boop.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yeppers! More Biker Betty Boopers!! Hoooray!

[livingbooper]

To bad we can't all go on a Biker Betty Boop road trip together. Now THAT would be a good time!!!!!

[MrsBoopster]

That sure would be. When the kids are all grown DH and I are going for a long road trip. Maybe we will make it out to Arizona. I've always wanted to go to Arizona and Nevada.

[livingbooper]

Oh, let us know when you decide to go! Maybe you, me, and Biker can meet up in Laughlin or Las Vegas!;) Hopefully we will all still be riding then....

[Bikerbettyboop]

To bad we can't all go on a Biker Betty Boop road trip together. Now THAT would be a good time!!!!!

I know some women who did that about 3 years ago.. they all ordered matching Betty Boop shirts from me.. they were up in northern California and they made a one week trip. Said they had a blast!! All were members of the Betty Boop Motorcycle Club.. 10 of them!!

[livingbooper]

Wow! COOL!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yes, it was pretty cool.... I bet that was really a blast!!

Are you? what kind of bike is that? I don't understand ....

[LisaBoop]

Wow, wish i still had my leathers now, feel like going for a ride, i used to be with a group of bikers in england years ago, my fiance had a bike, but after he came off it he got frightened and hasnt bothered since, i love the open road, theres nothing like it, the feel of freedom.;)

[livingbooper]

Yes, you can say THAT again!:D

She does look great on that bike!! But she'd look good on any bike!

Lizzy looks great on her motorcycle too!

[livingbooper]

And you look great on yours Theresa!:)

[BikerBabe16]

She's BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait until I'm old enough to ride my own ;)

[livingbooper]

She's BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait until I'm old enough to ride my own ;)
I recommend that you take a motorcycle riding class... and remember... SAFETY FIRST!

Welcome to the forum BikerBabe16!:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

That's excellent advice Elizabeth!! Couldn't have said it better myself!! Safety first and foremost!!

[*Laura*]

She's BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait until I'm old enough to ride my own ;)

I would like to ride on my own but at the moment I'm a bit afraid :(

[Bikerbettyboop]

I always recommend that you take a new rider's course... you can learn.. it will just take time. Start with a small bike.

[livingbooper]

Definately. Buy one that is small and used... even if it isn't pretty. Get one cheap. It's just for learning. Then when you have mastered it and feel comfortable, go find the dream bike.;) :)

[Bikerbettyboop]

yeppers... best thing you can do is learn all the right moves on a small bike.

[MrsBoopster]

That's what DH did. He got a cheap and old bike to learn to ride on, then he went and got his "dream bike", he always said he wanted a Honda Sabre and thats what he got. Me, well I like the Harley Davidson Sportster myself. But, I also like the Goldwing. It may take me awhile to get the one I want. HAHA. :)

[*Laura*]

thanks, I have to try ;)

I have a Harley Sporty and I like it too!! That's what Nury rides too.

The Goldwing is HUGE! I don't think that I'll ever go that big.
I like my Honda Shadow. It's a pretty V-twin and it cracks we up when people walk up and say, "Nice lookin' Harley".... hahahahaha! I've got mine all decked out in studs and fringe.:)

[Bikerbettyboop]

I bet you do get a good laugh when people tell you that your bike looks like a Harley!! Goldwings are huge... way too big for me!!

[MrsBoopster]

Dh was looking at a Honda Shadow V-twin, than decided on the Sabre instead. Yes the goldwing is big. Our church did a motorcycle run and I rode on our Pastor's goldwing and it was such a nice, smooth ride. We need to get a siisy bar back rest for our bike, but DH hasn't had any luck finding the one he wants. He is starting to get picky about the bike. HaHaHa.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Those big cruiser bikes are nice to be a passenger on. Has DH tried eBay or JP Cycles to locate a sissy bar?

[*Laura*]

did you see......http://www.monzacinema.it/monzacinema/immagini/film/tn/centauridastrapazzo.jpg (i don't remember the original title)

[LisaBoop]

I have watched quite a few biker or road movies over the years, infact the best one has to be Masters of menance it is a biker spoof movie very funny and light hearted

[MrsBoopster]

Those big cruiser bikes are nice to be a passenger on. Has DH tried eBay or JP Cycles to locate a sissy bar?

He said he has looked all over. He will find one.

[Bikerbettyboop]

The right one will come along... just hold on when you're riding with him so you don't fall off!!

[livingbooper]

He said he has looked all over. He will find one.

customcruisers.com (I think that's spelled right) is a good place to look as well as meancycles.com

Try those.

[livingbooper]

did you see......http://www.monzacinema.it/monzacinema/immagini/film/tn/centauridastrapazzo.jpg (i don't remember the original title)

I saw this. It's a crack-up and very entertaining!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Wasn't this called HOG WILD or Wild HOGS or something like that?

[BoopinAZ]

Yes, it was Wild Hogs - it was funny.

[LisaBoop]

It is very hard to find biker movies over hear, there is a movie i love called Running Cool..Bout a group of bikers that save their freinds land by holding a rally, he falls for a young girl at a cafe who is crippled and gets her a trike...Has anyone seen this movie and any ideas were i can get a copy as it has only ever been shown once as i can think on tv in england and i,m searching like mad for it

[*Laura*]

that movie is very funny!!! :) bikers are also like them ;)
In Italy there's a spot of a beer in which there are some bikers......but it's a spot quite bad for the "bikers imagine" :(

[MrsBoopster]

Our motorcycle got scratched up in four spots. There not big, but they are still noticeable. DH was trying to get a tarp down from the storage space above the bike in the garage and a long light bulb fell and broke all over the bike.

[richard kolasch]

there is a motorcycle museum here in St.louis.
sending a news paper to BikerBetty.
A big write-up about it.

for now I see the "museum" at our meetings ;)

[MrsBoopster]

Oh... darn... bummer Mrs. B! I HATE when that happens. Well, now the first scratches have been made so no worries from here on out, right????

We will still be careful not to scratch it up any more. Our insurance covers it if DH decides to get it fixed. I had some nail polish that was just about the same color as the bike so he touched it up with that so the pait woundn't start to crack and peel. It looks alright.

[Bikerbettyboop]

OH NO!! I am so sorry to hear that your bike was involved in a minor accident. I bet your hubby felt just horrible that he scratched a few spots into the bike but you know it's bound to happen that we all get dings and scratches on our bikes. The only perfect bike is one sitting on a showroom floor that never gets ridden!! SO I'm just glad to hear it wasn't dinged up due to being dropped on the highway and glad that you both are still safe and sound. Don't worry about it, just enjoy yourselves and ride safe!!

[MrsBoopster]

we will ride safe. James rides that bike everyday to work.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don rides his bike everyday to work too when the weather is nice!! We saw hundreds of Harleys yesterday on their way home from the Laughlin River Run.

[livingbooper]

I MUST get that mirror replaced! I am itching to get back on the road. The weather is gorgeous. I'm hoping to make the Laughlin River Run next year.

[Bikerbettyboop]

We are definitely going to go to the Laughlin River Run next year. This was the first one we've missed in 12 years!

[livingbooper]

Hopefully I can go too...

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yes you should go too LivingB!! You and Jack should plan on it!

[livingbooper]

Well, by then Miki should be old enough to be managed by a dog sitter... I hope!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Well I hope he grows into a well mannered nice young man (err I mean dog!! LOL)

Last night James said he wanted to put our names on the sides of the gas tank of the bike. He said he would put Peacherman and Boop. He said I could get a small window decall of BB for the side too!. I think its great. :D

All right! He's letting you Boop it a bit! That's fabulous! (Once you put a sctatch in a new vehicle suddenly it's okay to modify it it seems..... lol!) This will make the bike much more special and unique.

Of course!!!!
I would like to visit USA by bike on day :)

[MrsBoopster]

Dh had to buy another set of saddlebags for the bike. His got hot from being so close to the exhaust pipe, they melted on the bottom. Then he tore them somehow??? He ordered a different kind this time. They are supposed to be a tougher leather. James was going to let me move his bike the other day, but I guess I'm not strong enough to even get it off the kickstand. Instead, that is how I must have hurt my ankle, where I was trying to get that big bike up off the kickstand. Lets just say I will be getting a smaller bike than that.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Wow Mrs. B... please be careful trying to move your hubby's bike... it takes a lot of strength to move a big motorcycle!!! Bummer about the saddlebags!

pay attention ;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Getting a smaller bike is a wise thing to do Mrs. B!!

[MrsBoopster]

I saw a trike this past weekend and it was so nice looking. I am thniking that I might get a trike. I have all kinds of things picked out to go on one. I have my BB pictures all picked out and some irredescent lights for the bottom too.

[Neckless]

Of course!!!!
I would like to visit USA by bike on day :)

Wow! This sounds really NECKLESS like!

I love the idea.

Here's a little info I found referencing the Trikke.

No Impact - Just Muscle Exercise! Most Trikke owners are in their 40s, 50's, 60's and some youngsters in their 70's. The Trikke is also extremely popular with the younger generation. The fun, comfort and security of the Trikke has people of all ages enjoying the outdoors. Running is high impact on your joints, walking is just too slow, inline skating can be hazardous. The Trikke is the medium between walking and running but with no impact - just muscle exercise. Go longer distances to get that extended workout without over exerting. Inline skating (roller blading) only has 2 points on the ground which makes you vulnerable. The Trikke and it's 3 point stance gives you the comfort, security and stability that most prefer. You'll also burn 100's of calories and tone your muscles while getting a good cardio-pulmonary workout that is so important to your daily health. You'll also enjoy more scenery! Carving for 5 to 10 miles is very common on the Trikke. You'll intrigue people and turn their heads.

[MrsBoopster]

Here are two trikes that I am thinking about.

[bboop480]

That Is Fabulous!!!!.......congrats!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Cool trikes Mrs. B!!! Let us know which one you get!! I'm back in the saddle of my Harley again!!

[Dora Tavarez]

Very cool trikes!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Trikes are cool. My dad used to build them with car engines in them. (they were called V-8 trikes)

[*Laura*]

my week end....

[Bikerbettyboop]

[richard kolasch]

So Mrs. B.. how was your trip???? Give us an update!

Yes Mrs.B.. fill us in on your trip.

[baybay]

We Are Still Waitin To Know How It Was So Fill Us In

[Dora Tavarez]

By all means we do want to know,so tell us Bikerbetty.:)

[MrsBoopster]

I thought I did tell about our trip? I can't seem to see where I posted it though.
Anyways we had a great time. Went to Lake winnie amusement park. Had a nice dinner. Went to see my dad and my brother. We forgot to bring the camera so no pictures to show you.
The one place we wanted to go we couldn't because of a bad car wreck blocking the interstate and we couldn't seem to find our way around it.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Mrs. B....If you posted it, then I must have inadvertantly missed it... glad to hear you had a great time... and a safe trip!! IT's always fun to go away on a motorcycle trip!!

[livingbooper]

Here are two trikes that I am thinking about.

These are both VERY COOL! NOW THOSE ARE TRIKES!:D

[livingbooper]

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don and I went to town yesterday morning and we passed 3 trikes! They were so cool!

[Dora Tavarez]

I'm not a biker, but my heart starts racing when I see one,Wishing I had one.They are so cool.:)

[Bikerbettyboop]

I'm a biker and my heart starts racing too when I see bikes on the road... and it races even faster when I'm actually riding mine! LOL!

[Dora Tavarez]

All I can say to that is, that is awesome,Bikerbetty.wish I was You!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

You too can own and operate your own motorcycle if you really want to!! I was 53 years old when I first got my Harley and took the beginner's motorcycle riding courses. If you want it bad enough, you can do it too!

[Dora Tavarez]

Believe me, easier said than done.:(

[Bikerbettyboop]

Believe me, easier said than done.:(

Oh Dora, I never meant to imply it was easy cause it isn't ... believe me.. I know what you mean.

I once visited a friend of mine who has thick gravel in her driveway and I expressed my fear to her about riding my Harley out of her driveway onto the road because of the gravel (I've gone down in gravel 3 times) and she said "oh, it's easy ... piece of cake" and I said "That's easy for you to say!" LOL!! Cause she was standing there watching me while I veered and swerved my way out of the gravel onto the road... it was a stressful few seconds getting out of the gravel.. and I always breathe a huge sigh of relief that I made it ok. :rolleyes: :)

That's amazing i didn,t know that..I thought you were young when you started riding, you must have alawys had it in you then..So maybe one day i might even be able to own a bike, i thought my days were over....

That's amazing i didn,t know that..I thought you were young when you started riding, you must have alawys had it in you then..So maybe one day i might even be able to own a bike, i thought my days were over....

Hi Lisa... when I was younger, I rode a little Honda Trail 90 which is a very small bike... but that was when I was a teenager. I became a passenger from my early 20's until my early 50's and then I decided to get my own bike. It was a challenge and still is a challenge to ride and sometimes I even consider giving it up but then when I ride it again, I change my mind and decide to keep riding it!! It's never too late if you really want to do it and I tell everyone to take the beginning riders' classes!! They are invaluable in teaching the right way to ride safely! ;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

My husband found this website. It is for riding lessons for ladies only.

http://www.ladysonlymotorcycletraining.ca/

That's true! There are ladies only courses available. When I took my class, I was the only woman rider and the oldest person and the Phoenix newspaper came and interviewed me when I passed the tests and got my license. It was a real challenge and I was so proud that I got my license!! ;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Oh my goodness.Then I still have time Huh!LOL:D

Yes Dora, you definitely have time if you really want to ride a two wheeler!!

[baybay]

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey that's a good thing.. when I first got my motorcycle, I rode all the time but now I've gotten a few years older and we don't ride as much now.

[baybay]

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don has his old Harley in the shop (the 1991) and it's going to cost over 2 grand to get it running again! He just put nearly $1,000 into it before he took it to the shop.. ugh... so I probably won't be getting a new bike!!

[baybay]

Well I hope no more parts fall off your bike too! Having a windshield and backrest are nice!! :D

[MrsBoopster]

My husband says its nice having a windsheild to. The bugs really hurt when you get hit by them. :)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yes, I do agree that it is nice having a windshield. I rode my bike for several months before I broke down and added one and now I wouldn't ride without it!!

[Dora Tavarez]

So did you ever get bugs in you're mouth?JK

[MrsBoopster]

No. But I have been hit in the middle of the forehead with a bug. It left a red mark.

[boopfan111]

[Bikerbettyboop]

No. But I have been hit in the middle of the forehead with a bug. It left a red mark.

[boopfan111]

[Bikerbettyboop]

We have big bugs out here in the southwest part of the United States!!

[MrsBoopster]

James got hit by a wasp on the side of his stomach and it actually stung him through his shirt.

[Dora Tavarez]

[Bikerbettyboop]

James got hit by a wasp on the side of his stomach and it actually stung him through his shirt.

I got stung by a bee once.. the same way... it got under my jacket and shirt and wow did that hurt!! I had to stop and get it out of my shirt... I wanted to cry it hurt so bad!!

[Sally Boop]

I got stung by a bee once.. the same way... it got under my jacket and shirt and wow did that hurt!! I had to stop and get it out of my shirt... I wanted to cry it hurt so bad!!
My husband used to have a motorcycle with the Lord of the rings picture painted on the gas tank.
Got rid of it a long time ago though.
I have never been stung thank goodness.I qould probably be allergic & blow up like a balloon & end up at the hospital

[Bikerbettyboop]

Wow sounds like a nice motorcycle.

I worried about being able to ride my bike back home after being stung cause it hurt so much... I continued riding but had tears streaming down my face all the way home!!

[MrsBoopster]

James was teary eyed when he got home that day.

[leboop448]

Lots of Luck and good times with your new motorcycle!

[boopfan111]

[livingbooper]

Mrs. B, have you and your hubby been on any more rides this summer?

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don wanted to go to 4 Corners over Labor Day but our "barn" construction project changed those plans.

[Dora Tavarez]

So is that all you done Labor day week-end??You didn't go riding.

[baybay]

Have You Put Rideing Aside

[MrsBoopster]

Horses do take alot of maintenance. A friend from our church is having us bring one of his minature horses over here for us to take care of for him. I know it is going to take alot of work. But the horse is so cute and friendly. The kids love it already. So now James will be building a small stable barn for it when our friend brings it over.

[baybay]

That Is So Nice Of You Helping Out Is A Good Thing

[Bikerbettyboop]

Miniature horses are so cute. I have friends in New Mexico who have a bunch of them... mini donkeys too! There is a mini ranch down the road from us!!

your family will have a blast with this horse!!

[MrsBoopster]

Mrs. B, have you and your hubby been on any more rides this summer?

We are going on a motorcycle ride tomorrow.




Every now and then we bring the kids to our friends house that has the mini horses they always have fun there.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Have fun on your motorcycle ride. I haven't been on mine in about 6 weeks now! Hope I can still remember how to ride it when I do get back on it in a few weeks! Be safe!

[baybay]

you will always no how to ride you like it to much you will ride agin soon as soon as the horses are all safe in you finish makeing them all there stuff

[MrsBoopster]

Have fun on your motorcycle ride. I haven't been on mine in about 6 weeks now! Hope I can still remember how to ride it when I do get back on it in a few weeks! Be safe!

We will have fun. I'm sure you will still know how to ride your motorcycle.

[baybay]

[Dora Tavarez]

Have fun on your motorcycle ride. I haven't been on mine in about 6 weeks now! Hope I can still remember how to ride it when I do get back on it in a few weeks! Be safe!

Come on now BBB,I don't believe you could ever forget how to ride,You seem like an expert rider to me.YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Well I'm far from being an expert and riding a motorcycle is something that needs good skills and those skills need to be honed more often than what I'm doing.

[MrsBoopster]

We had a great time Saturday on the motorcycle. we went to a motorcycle cruise-in. Some of the things the riders did was funny.

[Bikerbettyboop]

I've been to some of the biker rallys and some of the things are fun and some are stupid too! LOL!

[Dora Tavarez]

Never been to one ,But I heard some of them can get CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrsBoopster]

They sure can get crazy. The barrel thing they did wasn't that great.

[Dora Tavarez]

I'm for excitement...I wouln't mind going to one...but I know it's for bikers only....

[MrsBoopster]

Their was alot of people that went to watch the motorcycles that drove in cars and trucks.

We are going out on the motorcycle again this Saturday. My Mom and Dad are going to watch the baby and the other two kids are going to their friends to play. This will probably be my last ride for this year.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Mrs. B.... I hope you and James have a real nice ride this weekend. We had hoped to ride our motorcycles this past weekend but it was spent once again working on the hay/tack shed (which still isn't complete yet!!)

My sister and I did drive to the Grand Canyon Harley dealer to pick up a motorcycle cover for Don's Heritage Softail. It was a special order item and it's been there waiting for him to pick it up for 3 weeks and he was afraid the dealer would sell it, so my sister and I drove up there Saturday and picked it up.

We saw a big rally that was going on there at the dealership. It was cool seeing all those motorcycles and made me wish I was on mine instead of driving in the car!

[MrsBoopster]

Sounds like you need to take a break and go for a ride on your motorcycle. I can't wait till Saturday to go riding.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yes, I definitely need a break to ride!! Don rides every day to work but I don't ride often enough. My sis and I drove to the Harley dealer and there were a lot of bikes there for a big rally they were having. Made me miss not being on my bike!

[MrsBoopster]

James rides his bike to work everyday to. I am still trying to get a hold of an older bike that I can practice on. We have a Harley Dealership about a half hour from here.

[Bikerbettyboop]

There are 4 Harley dealerships in our area... all at least 1 hour away in any direction. My sis was amazed at the prices of Harleys when we went to the Grand Canyon dealership... I guess she didn't realize they are as expensive as they are. But it's always fun to look at the new bikes!!

I hope you can find a smaller bike when you first start riding... it's easier to develope your skills on a smaller motorcycle.

Have you seen Wild Hogs yet? We watched it last night on DVD. It was funny.

[baybay]

Hope You Find Something To Get Started On
Wild Hogs Is A Good Movie
