About Women on motorcycles
I’ve got an interesting story about the rising number of motorcycle “chicks” out there. Accordingly to the report, “In Ohio, the number of women with motorcycle licenses jumped from 42,910 in 2000 to 63,598 in 2007.”
The story is about a Harley rider: “Open Diane DeLaney’s garage and you see a 2003 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic.“When people come over and see the bike, they assume it’s my husband’s,” DeLaney said. “But my husband doesn’t ride.” - I wonder if she is one of the bloggers in my list.
“A sense of freedom is the big allure for DeLaney, 58, of Westlake, and some of her fellow female riders — Rhonda Zimmerman, 50, of Lorain, Kim Ruehl, 43, of Elyria Township, and Kathleen Baker, 50, of Elyria.”
Well, here is the “Biker chic: Cruising the open road on a motorcycle used to be a male domain — no longer” report.
Great article. It is true that women are choosing more and more to ride up front. We have women in my HOG Chapter who are better riders than some men I know. I do believe that with soaring gas prices, the increases in new bikers, both male and female, should continue over the next few years.
[...] you remember my older post on “Women on motorcycles“, I received now another report of a similar story: Moms & Bikes, By Katrina Botelho. [...]
