Here are a few recent links of interest to women who ride.
Leah wrote this piece about how she got started riding her own motorcycle. If you read a little more of her blog, you will be stunned to read about the accident and fire in her ex-husband’s truck that nearly took his life as well as that of their Down Syndrome daughter. Truly a miracle that they lived. I can’t even imagine what they all must be going through, but my prayers certainly include them all this week.
The Canadian Prime Minister’s wife, Laureen Harper, loves to ride the muddy trails.
Sue Pollard and 50 friends take off on a mission from Kittery, Maine.
What?? You mean WOMEN can be bad bikers too??
And finally, Froggi’s off and running… hopping?? … RV’ing in the new rolling Lily Pad!

A li’l more link love goin’ out to those writing about biker chicks and women who ride!
This piece from the Rapid City Journal chats up some gals - some new riders, some experienced - who’ve come to Sturgis.
Shirley at Delaware Curmudgeon writes about a friend she’s glad to see back in his chaps.
Donna’s been tryin’ to keep her clothes on while her house is for sale, but that’s harder than it looks.
Okay so he’s not a biker chick. But remember Evel Knievel? He’s not doing so well, health-wise, these days. I remember Evel’s Snake River Canyon jump well… and I remember a toy my brother owned: a device that “launched” a plastic motorcycle across the room, complete with an 11-inch Evel doll that used to date my Barbies. I’m not making light… this is a sad story. I wish Evel all the best, and I thank him for providing such great entertainment.

Here’s some good reading about women and motorcycles from around the Web.
Neat article about the popularity of sport bike clubs in North Carolina, including women who ride these fast bikes!
Great come-back to the “organ-donor” remark bikers often hear.
The Sheboygan Journal looks at “the new American biker“.
A blog post from last week about H-D’s woman-focused marketing.
This article is an interesting read, too - it includes this rather bold statement: ”The point is that women are becoming increasingly important to a sport that desperately needs new blood.”
And finally, from July 11: a neat article about a women rider’s group in Florida.
