girlbike “new-to-you” giveaway 6: The Gremlin Bell
9 Comments Published by Wendy January 22nd, 2008 in accessories, gifts, giveaway.Motorcycle folklore attests that gremlins are evil road entities whose spiritual focus is to undermine your riding experience while you’re out having fun. Allegedly, some gremlins are happy to ride along with you, but some are fiendish and cause situations between you and a cager or pedestrian, just to challenge you and put you in […]

This coffee, essensia, is […]

1 Comment Published by Lesley January 11th, 2008 in cold weather riding. If you’re having a tough time taking in all the snow, I challenge you to make a Frostina the Scootergirl.
Here’s mine, with my Met. I must admit that I did this a couple of years ago when I didn’t have wee ones to chase around. Today I probably wouldn’t have the energy to […]
Yesterday I had to get my Met inspected to comply with New York State motorcycle ownership law. It was overdue and I had to take care of it, plus the weather turned really nice so suddenly, I now had a real purpose to ride. In truth, the inspection only confirms that the headlight shines with […]

I try not to make too many gratuitous mentions of scooter seat covers, since it’s my company and it’s a little difficult to be objective. But when January comes around, it really hits me just how amazing it is that I am lucky enough to have a business in an industry and community that I […]
