So, You're a Girl Who Wants to Ride Motorcycles?
Good for you! But where do you start? Launching out into the world of two wheels can be intimidating for a girl new to the sport. If approached correctly however it can be one of the most rewarding and interesting things you ever do. The sport of motorcycling has always been thrilling, but for many decades it seemed reserved for ruffian outlaws or teenagers with a death wish. Things have changed.
The modern motorcyclist now is often a professional, with a family even. Many women riders are emerging and even women rider coaches. The diversity of ridergroups range from The Christian Motorcyclists Association to rogue outlaw groups. There are a plethora of special interest groups, like BACA, which stands for Bikers Against Child Abuse. The modernfemale motorcyclist is rarely the hard looking, chain smoking, black leather garbed example we all think of.
Now, the female motorcyclist may be the cute little college student riding to her classesto save money on gas. It may be the junior high teacher whowants to be able to actually smell the wildflowers on her way home from work. Motorcycling has changed.

My wife never rode a bike in her life but wanted to get into it because she saw how much fun i was having. We bought a used yamaha xt 225 and she was on the street within a few days. After about a month I got her a new yamaha V star. She has about 3k miles on it now and even rode my 954 a few times. I just got a new cbr 1k and she is afraid to ride it because i told her how easy it pops wheelies. But just wait one day she will see it sitting in the garage gleaming and want to test it out.
