Well, I do get conflicting advice. Some say I absolutely have to get a small bike and others say, "Nah, if you get a low-to-the-ground cruiser you'll be just fine," and since one of the things I want to do is long road trips, others say I'll be unhappy with anything less than a BIG bike. So ... we shall see. I"m not at all opposed to getting a wee one and seeing how that does first.

OR, I may forever remain a passenger. I'm a pretty nervy gal, but I wonder if this dawg is too old to learn all the new tricks I'd need to for actually piloting a motorcycle. Besides, I have been a bicyclist for so long I'm afraid muscle memory will kick in and I'll squeese those handbrakes right into a tree or sump'n'.
