At least Michelle Smith could ride. No wait, they sold her bike on one show.

That Charity Hodges wore nothing but High Heels. They even did a show where she was to buy some riding boots because veiwers wrote in about it, but the ones she bought were still high heel "After Riding" boots. You only got a one second look at the ones she bought. Give me a freakin break.

I tried to find a picture of Charity Hodges on a motorcycle and it can't be done.
I wonder how she got the job? On her knees? Or on all fours?


At least Michelle wore riding boots.

The show before was a "Kuryakyn and J&P Catalog commercial". That was getting old too.

I quit watching after Michelle left, tried again didn't like watching what seemed like an infomercial. I would like to see a show that would get technical with builds and repairs like some of the truck shows.

I caught the show the other night and gotta agree - it's a long Arlen/Victory commercial and those bikes are really ugly! I wouldn't ride a Vision if you gave it to me.

Clearly the show has sponsors and Harley ain't one of them. What did you expect? That's how TV works.

Check out the boots she's wearing, you can see them at the 1:21 and 2:15 part of the video.
This is the boots she was wearing while Jay Barbieri was teaching her to ride.

At the 3:10 mark check her out trying to get a VRod to sit up, off the kickstand.
Michelle Smith rode a Road King.

Okay, I'm finished
