"Why We Ride"

About the Book

We all know the unmistakable roar of a motorcycle. It’s almost like you can’t keep yourself from looking towards the machine that is making that powerful rumbling sound. Turning to admire this two wheeled marvel, you find that it is a woman who is in control of this incredible machine.
In this book you will read stories from 100 incredible women who don leather jackets, strap on helmets and hit the road on their two wheeled iron horses. What made them start? What is it inside them that made them jump on the back of a motorcycle and ride; a sport that has been dominated by men from the beginning of motorcycle history. The stories are funny, sad and inspirational; but most of all, they are as incredible as the women who wrote them.
