My Grandmother, Vera Evangeline War I began thinking about this post a while ago and finally am about to actually let the women who ride, speak for themselves.

Bikes and Babes–What constitutes the quintessential female rider?
google image By breaking the stereotype of the biker babe with our new female rider demographic, I believe we are changing the face of the female motorcycle community.

GoGo Gear-Protective Riding Gear for Motorcycle and Scooter Riders
When I can’t ride, I love websurfing, casting my net for any gems in the copper sea. Yesterday I found GoGo Gear who at first glance seemed to create highly implausible safety gear. But after watching the videos, reading about the products, I am convinced that they carry some beautiful and highly fashionable motorcycle/scooter gear.…

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”

Protect the Ta-tas…
*Disclaimer* Sorry, it was difficult to keep a straight face while posting this and I realize how valuable the tata’s can be, however, I had to laugh once or twice while posting! I recently found that Dainese makes a chest protector for women riders. Though many see this as humorous, it’s actually a very serious…
