Clara Wagner is often lauded as the first woman to race a motorcycle—or at least the first documented woman to do so, as captured by many newspapers in 1910. But is she?

Aristocratic Motorcyclist Artwork
Lorenzo “Eroticolor” is a French artist who creates beautiful, classic posters under the name “Aristocratic Motorcyclist”.
They often feature form-fitting leather-clad ladies, ready to ride or flag the race start. Don’t judge the heels they’re sporting- french ladies don’t mind the challenge, as illustrated by the L’Equipee girls. Catchy phrases like “there’s a model for every rider” and “hell is the destination”.
Fun, fashionable, beautifully designed… most his posters are available in print form.
You can follow Lorenzo’s work on tumblr @aristocraticmotorcyclist. He also did some awesome exclusive desktop wallpapers for BikeEXIF.
