Costa Rican Raquel, 36, has been riding for about ten years- her first bike was a 100cc scooter. Starting small is a good way to get familiar with two wheels without too much pressure- they’re light, fun, and if you drop it… so what? After her scoot, she got a Yamaha FZ150i that she’s kept despite upgrading to the CBR. Her passion is superbikes, and rides her Honda internatiomally on road trips.
Thanks for the submission, Raquel!
I’m so excited to announce the project that I’ve been working on for two years… a book all about badass motorcycling women!

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!
