On October 3-5, Femmoto, an all-women demo day on the track, took place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This is the first year all the major manufacturers were represented, as well as some of the smaller ones, like Kymco and Triumph. This is one of the biggest outreach events for women riders in the motorcycle industry.
We’ve come a long way baby! This phase is no more apropos when talking about women’s rain suits. I remember the days when rain suits were not gender specific. They were big and bulky and made from a non-breathable vinyl material.

I chose this bike because I tried holding up my husbands friends Shadow, and it felt like something I could handle as a beginning rider. It was probably a little big for me to start with. I dropped it twice on my first day riding on my own, but keep in mind I had never ridden any kind of motorized two wheeler.

I own two motorcycles. The first one my husband and I purchased was a 2008 Harley-Davidson Nightster 1200. We bought this bike in May 2008 after I signed up to take the Riders Course, which I completed and passed in June 2008. I had never ridden a bike before this except on the back with my husband.

I chose the Heritage Softail because it was a “best fit” for my height, riding style and basic comfort. This was a first-time purchase with my brand-new class 6 license. The height and power of this machine suit me and my riding style very well. I appreciate the looks of it, but more than that, because I am tall, the Heritage Softail fit me like an amazing pair of perfect jeans!

I am 50 years old. I traded up from 33 years in the passenger seat to my first bike ever. After taking the MSF class twice because it was so much fun, I decided I really liked the Suzuki GZ250, but my experienced hubby thought I would outgrow that too quickly.

Falling temperatures can put the chill on the journey for some motorcycle riders. One way to extend your riding season is by wearing heated gear. But pants, vests, jackets and gloves that heat by hooking into your motorcycles battery can be cumbersome with all the wires. As a result, some riders have not “bought into” the whole heated gear concept.
The stunning design of this jacket from Girl Gear really caught our eye. The combination of the popular leopard style with brown and black is one of a kind. Its called the Morocco Jacket and it showcases some thoughtful features that show this jacket was definitely designed by a woman who rides.
