I had posted earlier this year regarding Lanakila Macnaughton’s Womans Motorcycle Exhibit that was held in Portland, OR. She is an OR rider and photographer that prides herself in showing “real women riders” not just the sexy female prop draped over a beautiful motorcycles. Lanakila likes the more gritty, fun, raucous, presentation of REAL female riders and I love her presentation.

The women portrayed are riding mostly vintage machines in a “rocker” fashion with what I would consider a minimum of rider protection. As much as I love seeing these women, I find myself concerned for their safety, although like all else, how one rides is a personal choice.

Regardless of the lack of protective gear, these women are indeed riders and Lanakila’s presentation of them is quite alluring and very very real.

Thanks Lanakila for a different point of view of the female rider!
