Women Riders At This Time And Then
I remember when I was about 11 years old back in my childhood neighborhood. I was playing out side and I heard the growl of a Harley Davidson coming up the street. It sounded so cool it caught my concentration and I looked up right in time to see the woman riding leisurely stopping at the stop sign on the corner. Wow! Nice I thought to myself. I had by no means seen a woman riding her own motorcycle before. In the past there were not a lot of women riders ^(http://motorcyclesandwomen.com).
The woman was not very big at all, and as she happened to take off from the stop sigh she dumped the motorbike. It was more like she balked the clutch; lost her footing and she dropped the motorbike. Well imagine, never seeing a motorcycle riding women before and then watching her falling off the bike. It was quite the picture.
I have to confess, she had a set. Swear words came flying out of her mouth and I believe at one moment she even kicked the fallen bike. I think she was quite humiliated. She didn’t miss a rhythm though, she got down to it and she picked that Motorcycle up and jumped right back on it an away she went.
Let’s fast forward time roughly forty years. Although it took near to four decades, women have come to the realization that motorcycle riding is not just for men. They have come to terms with their fears and the stereotype that the bitch rides on the back. More and more you can glimpse at any major junction and see women riders.
Its not just miniature girly girl 250 cc motorbikes these women are riding, they are riding full-scale grown-up girl bikes, bikes like Harley Davidson Sportsters, Softails and full dressers. They can also beseen riding Metric motorcycles like 1500 cc Kawasaki’s, Yamaha’s and Hondas. Yet some brave few; ride super fast Sports motorcycles formally well-known as crotch rockets.
Go to any bike rally and have a fast glance all-around. I’ll bet, on any specified day about 30% of the bikers there will be women riding their own bike.
It’s not just that women motorcycle riders have had an arousing, a surfacing of sorts. It is that they are organizing as well. It was accustomed to be that the motorcycle clubs were a male subjugated meeting. Motorbike organizations were made up of men that drove the bike and their biker mamas that rode on the back. Well that’s all different right now that women have started to get off the back and ride their individual motorbikes.
Women’s motorcycle organizations: groups and Associations are springing up all over the place. If you have a computer with access to the Internet, go on line and explore women riders, women motorbike organizations or women motorcycle riders groups. You will locate thousands of motorcycle groups, clubs and organizations that are women Rider specific and that only consent to other women to join.
I guess it was more or less time… I have been a biker of some 36 years, I don’t have any hard feelings about this female motorbike revolution. I say good for you, it’s about time. Although, I cherished the day’s that I had my wife on the back and she had her arms and legs tightly wrapped all-around me, I am loving it just as much riding solo with my women riding right next to me.
