Message: [QUOTE="ledkat, post: 930063, member: 61558"] It makes me feel so much better to hear that lots of women go through the same thing that I am. I am now on my second bike. My first bike was a TTR250. I loved the bike, but I HATED that I always had to have help picking it up. Plus, I was a bit intimidated by it's height for a first bike. So I sold it for a CRF150. I liked that I could touch the ground so easily and it was light, but there were still times with the riding boots (no traction!) on that I would have to get help picking it up. Plus I sometimes need help starting it if it's flooded or just being a tempermental little bike (I sure miss that magic button on the TTR!). Plus the first time I saw a picture of myself on the CRF I almost cried. At 5'9" I looked like I was on a little kids toy (not the cool motocross girl I was starting to feel like :rotfl: ) Now I am looking for my third bike, although I AM going to keep the CRF for fun, I know I would miss having it if I sold it. Besides, what is wrong with a gal having two (or more!) bikes? For bike #3 I am considering a CRF250X (Electric start, HURRAY!!! :) ) and just sucking it up that I will probably have to have some help picking it up sometimes. You guys are helping give me the confidence that it won't take me too long to adjust to the height, weight, and power. It is so nice to have a place for us girls to talk about all of our motorcycle stuff. I wish I had found this site years ago. Thanks everyone!!! [/QUOTE]
