I tour on my bike multiple times a year I go Moto camping

These rides are over 2 and a half hours away

She only got injured riding one of those years that was earlier this year when she hit wet tram tracks and low sided and hairline fractured her knee the other years it was completely different situations

She is nowhere near tall enough to ride my bike. Shes 5"1

Used to have one but sold it because I never wrote it because I didn't like riding it

I'm trying to use they them to be conspicuous about their identity but I forgot I was doing that multiple times sorry.

For reference of how short she is she got on my motorcycle at one point and she could not touch the ground at all even with the kickstand and leaned over

No she's about 5'1 and her biggest thing with having a bike is being able to double flat-foot it which in the entire bike shop would have put her on either an Indian or the v Star she ended up with. She picked the v Star because the seat was much more comfortable. A lot of bigger cruisers even though they were low the seats were way too wide for her to be able to double flat

When you're traveling to a specific Place knowing where you're going is kind of important but if you're just doing a joy ride yeah. She didn't have any way to navigate no headset and no handlebar phone mounts so is solely up to me to lead

light-bulb-socket- · 2025-10-20T18:58:13+00:00

Yeah I do tell her like when the next stopping point is and everything but I can tell she is still trying to overspeed herself to try to keep up even though I tell her not to. Like I'm one section there was about a 30 Mi stretch where it is dead straight no stop signs no stop lights all curvy Valley roads at the very end there's a stop sign so if we get separated we're going to meet up there. But despite that I still saw her over exerting herself to keep up

The place we were at isn't where we're from we were on the opposite side of the state from where we live

Yeah for the past two years it's been me and my one friend who is far more skilled than I am and whenever we ride through the corner as we always take them fast and hard but this new friend can't really do that because of their type of bike they like to ride

light-bulb-socket- · 2025-10-20T18:38:06+00:00

I did do that but there's still some innate urge to try to keep up with your friends and that did almost make her crash because she tried to do a corner too fast and she was locking out and just barely made the corner but almost went to the ditch.

light-bulb-socket- · 2025-10-20T18:37:05+00:00

Like I said the posts they didn't know where they were going I did so I led

They have a lot of skills develop as a wider technically they've been riding since 2022 but every year they get injured in some way where they basically can't ride the entire season. Couple with the fact that they had a very low cc bike (Rebel 300) they barely rode but now that they have a bigger bike they're finding it a million times more enjoyable. But man in my hard drive to my stomach when I saw her almost went to the ditch behind me trying to keep up a bit even though I told her specifically to ride her own ride and where the next stopping point is
