Not motorcycle related, but very motolady related… here’s to all the Moms out there who ride, taught us to ride, support our decision to ride, and raised us motorcyclists all over the world! I know I wouldn’t have grown up to be my headstrong self if it weren’t for my equally strong willed mother.  Happy Mother’s Day, Momma! PS. Yes, that is a young bratty me in the above photo. I also wish I could locate a photo of my mom riding the little Honda around the ranch, but alas I can’t.

Owner of Century Motorcycles, Cindy Rutherford, amazing motolady and vibrant spirit passed away today. It’s hitting the motorcycle industry hard as we all tear up remembering her amazing qualities. We need more women like Cindy in the world. Rest in peace, you bad mamma jamma. <3 And yeah, fuck cancer.

Sometimes scooter photos are too bad ass/amazing to pass up.

Thought this might make for an interesting post: My fellow motoladies here in Cincinnati are at odds with Alpinestars re' the marketing of their newest (& most bad ass) womens' apparel line. The video for alpinestars Vika line debuting the gear is sensual and sexual! It's ridiculous. Hot, but ridiculous. After writing the AS, I am happy to report, they were super responsive and open to input/adjustment. Anxious to start a design taskforce over here, interested? Best, Alissa — Asked by Anonymous

Hi Alissa,

You know I’m always down to help motoladies in whatever way I can… but what do you propose instead of their current form of advertising? Do motoladies not want to be sexy as well as have the same protection men do when it comes to gear?

Also, you didn’t leave any contact info. Please send me an email if you’d like to talk. alicia [at] themotolady.com 

Ladies&#8230; as a motorcyclist do you ever feel like this woman?

MotoLadies… Tables Turning?

In the last week I’ve seen countless motorcyclists. However, I’ve actually seen a good amount of motorcycling women. I’m actually now getting shocked by the numbers… in the greatest way.

What have you guys been observing… Are the tables turning? Are women getting on their own bikes now rather than riding on the back?

The new Moto Guzzi V7 range was introduced today, with some marketing photos utilizing a real life motolady.

Power and torque have been boosted, fuel consumption and emissions have been improved and as a result riding pleasure has been enhanced. (stayontheblack.com)
