Scott, over at AMCGLTD, lead me to a piece on women entering the motorcycle riding world (as the driver, not passenger). Interestingly, the article only talks about Gen Xers and Gen Yers - it doesn't talk about Boomers (of which I am one). I can think of 4 women my age or older, off the top of my head that ride. I see plenty more on the rode, at bike week, and at bike shopes.
Guess the author just decided that us "old foggies" can't possibly be getting into the 2-wheeled machines - the only thing we must be into is wheelchairs..
Gosh! Even I have friends who are older than my 71 years who ride; but, they've been riding for years, so wouldn't qualify as being new to the activity.

I didn't realize that you had women friends that ride - good for them!

You know one of them, Bogie, from the olden days. I posted a piece about attending Bill's funeral and how the Patriot Guard had participated. His ex, Pat, rode with the Patriot Guard. The other two whom I know are from the Little Airplane Plant. I haven't seen/heard from them since 2004, so don't know what they're up to. (They may all have quit riding, for all I know!)
