biker chick

I’d be willing to bet that most people who are reading this are, um, how shall we say…? bikers. As such, we typically like to see women (or men depending on your gender), on motorcycles.

Being as this is a relatively new blog, there hasn’t been much time to get reader’s to submit pictures of themselves on their bikes. So being the dedicated blogger I am, I asked my sister in law for some pictures of her (and her friend) on her Sporty.

They came in the mail a few days ago, and there was a note scribed on the back of the envelope that read something to the effect of me stereotyping her as riding a Sportster because she’s a woman, and reminded me that she does, in fact, ride a Fat Boy.

Touche. Perhaps she missed the post about Sportsters not being an entry level bike.

The pictures she sent me show her on a Sporty, so look for them in the next week or two.

We need more chicks riding sportsters! It’s not just a guy thing any more. There’s a lot more women riding motorcycles today than every before. Just in the last few years there has been an enormous spike in the number of women buying (and riding) motorcycles. And many are sporting more than just a little wood! (Pun intended).

As I mentioned in my inaugural post, the Sportster is not an entry level bike. It’s very powerful and handles very well. And it’s a Harley! Women dig that. It really pushes their button, so to speak. Women are buying them in droves.

According to Women Riders Now, there has been an over 35 percent increase in women riding over the last decade. That would include my wife, my sister-in-law, and one of my SILs best friends, who all started riding within the last 10 years. They’re all around me, and I like it!
