They left from Black Lightning Moto Cafe in downtown Eureka, where they used the owner’s tools to change out Leila’s bent handlebars on her 883 Sportster. Trinia was riding the custom 1993 Honda Shadow they built for last year’s Phoenix Project.
After riding for awhile, they gassed up in a quaint town called Ferndale- the last stop for gas for many many miles. From there, they went up, up, up the mountain, across some ridges, and dropped onto the beautiful Lost Coast. From there, they headed into a tiny town of about 300 called Petrolia where oil was first drilled in California. Trin and Leila stopped at the local bar for some lunch before riding along the Mattole river in the redwoods, to the 101, and back home.

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!
