I read a statistic today, maybe it’s real, maybe not, but one I’m inclined to believe – 23% of new motorcycle sales are to women.

More women are deciding to get off the back and enjoy the freedom of riding their own motorcycle.

I’ve seen it out on the road. More women are getting out of the passenger seat and enjoying the pride and freedom of riding their own motorcycle for the same reasons as men.

My wife, Jackie, and her blue BMW sport touring bike. She's part of the growing female demographic.

They love the feeling of freedom. They are proud of their bikes. They get the same enjoyment out of riding. They ride alone, they ride in groups, they ride right along with the guys.

Women rock the roads right along with the men. Nice lady biker shows us how it's done!

You’ll find them on dirt bikes, Harely’s, sport bikes, you name it. I met a nice couple at the Dragon this week. Attractive lady, though it was her sweet Ducati that kept drawing my looks. It was the two ladies on their hogs who hung with me all day on last weekends’ adventure ride through some devilishly twisty mountain roads while the rest of the group peeled off early. Women riders are just as capable as men.

So don’t be surprised when that motorcycle pulls up and the rider is not the hairy faced biker you expected. Women bikers are out there and they are growing in numbers!
