For me, the Steel Horse Sisterhood Summit was also a sort of coming-of-age as a female motorcycle rider, having never attended such an event before. Being accepted with open arms by hundreds of seasoned motorcyclists made it feel as if I had reached a milestone in my year and a half experience of riding.

While working in the Starbucks this afternoon (our office when we are on the road) Ive seen one beautiful, professionally dressed woman after another walk in for their daily treats.

One of my motorcycle travel goals has been to cross all the major passes in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is home to Mount Whitney (the highest peak in the continental U.S.), and the famous peaks of Yosemite National Park.

If you ride a cruiser and enjoy touring, over the course of your riding life you may find yourself graduating to bigger motorcycles, the choice of machine dictated usually by the level of riding experience you have and the type of riding you do. At what point do you stop moving up, though?
Trading Up to a Dresser: Should You or Shouldnt You?
Don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing bad about riding pillion on the back of a motorcycle. For many years, I used to sit behind my husband, Jonny, on his Harley-Davidson Softail Deuce, spacing out and staring at the scenery.
