Back in 2002, the Discovery channel ran a documentary called “Motorcycle Women” which followed six ladies on a 1500 mile road-trip. Seeing those six ladies, featuring Goth Girl, Sasha Mullins, Betsy Huelskamp, Claudia Barasch, Michelle Dell and Qian Ma, inspired myself and many other women out there to learn how to ride and enjoy the [...]
Taylorblue from the Mom’s Out There blog nominated yours truly for the “Rockin’ Girl Blogger” award. Isn’t that kick-ass? She kindly said: If there was ever a rockin’ blogger it has to be her!!! I love how everything revolves around her motorcycle… Now I must choose 5 women bloggers worthy of the “Rockin’ Girl Blogger” [...]

I’m off to bike week. Check here for regular updates with plenty of photos. And don’t forget to track my riding in real time by going to the “where am I” page.
