Jodie's story is so rare for a young woman nowadays. Her passion and drive is highly motivating, and maybe needs to be shared amongst youth who have had it sucked out of them. And I love the expression that she's found a bike that she melds so completely with, that there's no need to continue populating her stable.

What a sweet little film. Isn't amazing this passion we all share who truly love motorcycles. I started my girls on honda 50's and they progressed all the way to 150's and I can totally see them riding for the rest of their lives. Its an amazing thing when you empower a girl with her own 'motorbike'. And to the kooks commenting...get over you stupid selves she is an amazing 'person'. Good on you girl from laguna Beach Ca!!!
@petebjerkelund50885 жыл бұрын
Enjoyed this piece. True moto spirit here. My wife is considering the TU250X for her return to motorcycles. She rode cruisers before our son was born, and years later, seeing the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" got her thinking of having a bike again, but not a cruiser (yay! from me a sport-tour/ADV-touring moto dude). How Jodie modified her TU is really well thought out, and using oversized tires is intriguing. Trying to tip my wife over onto the 'get your moto' side of the fence: returning to two-wheels at 52 has some apprehensions (she's already survived two serious motor vehicle accidents, one was life threatening - both non motorcycle related; me, one major motorcycle crash with a coyote strike)... but the simplicity and 'charming' nature of the little TU250X gem, and Jodie's take on it, have been a very pleasant eye-opener. Thanks.

This was an amazing story, so genuine, very well produced and beautifully shot. I came across this video simply looking for reviews on the Suzuki 250 and was hooked after the first few minutes and got so much more out of it than just a simple endorsement for the Suzuki, I actually feel inspired. We need more videos like this on KZbin.

She reminds me my first girlfriend, back in 1990... the eyes, the smile, the color of the hair and the love for motorcycles. Too bad i'd put her away from me when she was only trying to be my friend and help me, 23 years later... sorry about that, Vanessa, but some men (like me) are too stupid to see kindness. All right, let's finish the soap opera... Great video, and a great character too! Jodie is an example for many people.

The first motorcycle I ever rode was a TU-250x. I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's basic rider course, and there just happened to be one bike left...the TU-250x. It was love at first sight, and it made riding and learning so much more fun. You may think it's a silly exaggeration to say "love at first sight," but those of you who have bikes know that I'm totally serious. Beautiful story, Jodie. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. :)

I ride bikes since 16, now I’m 56 is the passion of my life. In another order of ideas I would like to know something about the jacket that uses Jodie, it really is very nice, Gracias.
