I saw a pink and black R1 a few days ago and gotta say it didn’t look horrible. Wasn’t a rattle can job, paint was top notch. Bummed I didn’t get a pic.

I like to see more "girls" riding. No, not as a passenger but an operator. I've been on many group rides over the years and the most female riders riding their own motorcycles I've seen is probably 10%.

well, we are definitely out here. Every once in a while, I take a tally of ownership of the bikes that are in my shop. At any given time, it’s usually more women owners than men owners. How that plays out in the larger population, I don’t exactly know, but I remember the year I owned Moto Java we sold to approximately 21% women owners.

also, my motorcycle gang Dames don’t care motorcycle collective is mostly chicks. Dude, we’re right here.

I'm thinking that your numbers are outside the national norm being in the Bay Area with much more moto-centric and be-who-you-are thinking.

In 2006, working in Progressive’s Special Lines division the statistic was 51% ew M1s issued were for females. The only manufacturers to recognize and tap this market were BMW and Harley Davidson.

That is awesome to hear, I just wish I see more of you out there.

As mentioned to LuchTriple, I wish I see more of you lady riders out there. The last large group I did was with the Pediatric Brain Tumor ride sponsored by Honda. It was a good size group so it required police and CHP escort.

I saw a nurse riders club there. Their members are made up of mostly female nurses so that was nice to see. Also saw many other female participants there but mostly as passenger, not operator. Even with the nurse riders club included, the overall female motorcyclist participants only made up a small percentage of the whole group. I say probably about 10% based on my guestamation?

Hope to see more of you ladies operating a moto out there.

When I first started riding, I hear comments like "you're a girl, you can't ride a motorcycle" and I just cringed. Their ignorant reasons are as primitive as the Saudi's reasons for not allowing women to drive a car. Glad that finally changed.

 

[ThumperX]

If we’re posting on this forum we ride, used to ride, recovering from injuries. We are RIDERS; not women, girl, or lady riders, simply riders just as penis people are riders, not boy, men, or guy riders just riders..
