Hey we might have more in common than originally thought...
From VTracegirlcom:
"Feeling that there was more to motorcycles than just being a passenger, Valerie bought her own the next day. It was a 1999 Harley-Davidson 1200 Sportster. She attended the basic rider course and quickly found her new passion. Three months later, working at Downtown Harley-Davidson in Seattle Washington, she realized that the Sportster was not enough. She bought her current bike, a 2000 Fatboy, and has not looked back since. Valerie has taken her Fatboy through its paces, customizing it along the way. She now owns a great looking bike that packs 110 horsepower."
Let's see...I bought my 1999 HD Sportster 1200S in December. Took the riding class in below freezing weather in January and by Bike Week, decided I wanted more POWER!!!! Wouldn't mind following in the rest of her footsteps!
