“The Feminist Tone”
I’m sorry, excuse me? Feminism is defined as the advocacy for women’s rights to be equal to men. I don’t believe posting content about women riding is anything but a feminist tone and hell no I’m not going to change the way I operate my website because I offended your delicate sensibilities.

I also wish I could locate a photo of my mom riding the little Honda around the ranch, but alas I can’t.

We need more women like Cindy in the world. Rest in peace, you bad mamma jamma. <3 And yeah, fuck cancer.
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.

Please send me an email if you’d like to talk. alicia [at] themotolady.com
