Its great being here, especially the riding (when you are near the High Country that is!) and the emptyness of the country! That's what I would miss the most if I had to go back home. Although I miss a lot of home as well (I'm never homesick though, can settle anywhere

). I do miss the culture though (riding from country to country), there's no culture here, or any other countries/cultures nearby (sshhh, probably shouldn't say that in the open on worldwideweb, might get:

for that! Grinn...

I know what you mean about missing the country to country and cultures. I lived in the UK for 7 years and would travel to Europe very often. Loved taking the train from Belgium to France or France to Milan or Milan to Switzerland...I miss that alot

. I'm back in the USA now.
My goal is to go back and do it all on a Motorcycle

I've never been to Australia and it is definitely on my list. The company I work for has offices there and I've got some people it would be fun to visit. I also scuba dive ...need I say more!!

Hope you get to do some of the underwater when you are down under too!!

Welcome again!!

Just thought I'd share.

I posted this thread over in Equipment. I don't have any personal experience with the gear but it sure looks nicer than a lot of other gear available to us...that and actual womens sizing is a plus.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's made in the USA (with an Italian logo for style)?

I love that they have a hoodie, how many younger girls will be willing to give ATGATT a go it it looks cool and actually fits.

My bad. I always assumed they were Italian cuz of the logo.

Made in USA is mo bettah.

BTW, the stuff I tried on seemed to run a bit small.

Good to know. How did the material feel? My BMW jacket took forever to soften up!

EDIT - Also VR, if you get a second could you post about the sizing in the thread in Equipment? Some of the guys might be ordering them up as gifts so it'd be good to know.

I only tried on one - I'm not much into the form fit stuff, but I really liked the colors.

The material was a bit stiff, but it could have been because I'm so used to the flexibility of my thin Kushitani. The arms, IIRC, were tight.

Looking at the site, I can't remember which one I tried on.....

EDIT: Done.

Yeah, you should come here! It is pretty great I must say! When you are here you should also get a bike (somehow) and do Sydney-Melbourne through the High Country

Off course I have already gone down under (in the water I mean)

That is also super great here! Although lots of bleaching

howdy ladies!!!

I'm Bev, Velvetride told me about this thread and to come and introduce myself.

I have been riding for some years now, first on a Honda Rebel and now on a Multi 620, looking up to a Monster 1000 if the winter offers fit my pocketbook. I have also have done some dirt on my backyard, but I don't own a dirtbike, I used my ex beau's one but now it's an ex-dirt bike :)

Glad to find more women riders here, will lurk around some more to find my feet on the site.
