Bikes and Babes…Women and the illustrious bad-ass motorcycle film


As a continued chronicle of women and motorcycling, I have to include a post on several asinine movie posters I found. How can one do a complete chronicle of women in motorcycling without the irreverent as well as the sublime? Here we have the irreverent.

“Hog straddling females on the prowl”


“Kitten on wheels”

“Leather on the outside all women on the inside”

No absurd text on this one.

Girl on a Motorcycle

This film was done in the 90s, an 11-minute short, but superb fun.

Tunnel of Love

Regardless of how one feels about the silliness of these films, it gave the public what it wanted, women seen as wanton, mindless drones, seeking the “wild” life in the world of motorcycling. Well, I can’t really subscribe to wanton or mindless drone, but as for the wild life… bring it on!!! *wink wink*
