I’m so excited to announce the project that I’ve been working on for two years… a book all about badass motorcycling women! In the MotoLady’s Book of Women Who Ride you’ll meet 74 of the most influencial motorcyclists of the last century. Motorcycle heroes, trailblazers, and record-breakers like Jessi Combs, Shayna Texter, Laia Sanz, Gloria Tramontin-Struck, the Van Buren sisters, and more can be found inside the 184 pages of this hard cover book celebrating motorcycling women!
Went to check out a bike my friend was buying today and met Cam, ex Chief New York Firefighter of ten years. His Firefighter Harley was pretty cool, plus it had 50,000+ miles on it and it’s only a 2003. “Oh yeah, it’s ridden- not just pretty to look at!” Chyeah, I high-fived him.
He pointed out the details on the tank panel (Is that what it’s called? I actually don’t know the anatomy of a Harley) which included pieces from 9/11 Ground Zero- a bolt and a metal piece of one building that was engraved. Cam was there in NYC doing clean up thirty days after.
The bike was bought new from Harley, it’s a 2003 Firefighter special edition. All the gold metal flakey bits were done locally, and the pinstriping was done by Portland-famous Mitch Kim.
