GET READY FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE

I've got four blogs happening now and I'm realizing I need to whittle down to one sometime. But here, for the Bikerlady blog which is a community for women riders, I'm going to make a comment about motorcycle riding trend and women.

We're the fastest growing segment in the marketplace. Still. We are expanding and growing in leaps and bounds. The Motorcycle Industry Council puts out press releases on this fact, the motorcycle manufacturers report the same. Clothing manufacturers are finally making women's size motorcycling gear.

Looks like chicks on bikes are on the map for good. We cannot be denied. All the says of a chick don't belong riding a bike, even as recent as of, hmmm, yesterday that can be heard, are really long gone. As we know, since the invention of the bicycle, we've commanded the driver's seat. We've always been in the driver's seat.

What's next for women in motorcycling? I think from a media perspective alot more. I think women in motorcycling on TV will continue to change the perspective of people the world over because it is so dialed into the feelings of freedom and truth and independence for the everywoman.

Now, it's only a matter of time before really awesome media is created that will service the big desire out there in TV, film and music land....

girls on bikes is POWER. A woman on a motorcycle defines so much of what we feel and may not be able to SAY. Riding a motorcycle explains everything we are. It defines our truth. Our bikes are an extension of our souls. And don't we motorcycle mammas look bad ass with class rolling up to our meetings, to school functions with our kids, out for a weekend st'roll' -

We as high powered amazing women have the power inside ourselves at anytime to be our truth. To be loyal to our beauty inside. Falling for the superficial hype of how we ought to be is slow death, let me tell you. If you go to the mirror right now and look at yourself, warts and all, cellulite saddle bags, wrinkles, whatever and you realize that "oh my God, I'm a living breathing human being with talent and gifts even though I may not know what they are" - kick yourself into gear and move forward. Motorcycles don't have reverse.... they only know how to roll forward.

So, get ready for the ride of your life.

peace love and windy freedom,
