INTERNATIONAL FEMALE RIDE DAY- MAY 1ST.

Today is International Female Ride Day. I've always been a huge supporter of women riders and think we need to get more women out on their own bikes. To be honest most women are safer and better riders than most of these ass clown male riders I see weaving in and out of traffic every day. Don't get me wrong, I like to twist the grip too but c'mon guys, some of the shit I see you doing is just f-ing stupid. Wheelies at 85mph? Lane splitting and lane sharing at over 70mph? Both would fall into the dumb ass category to me. And what most of these dumbshits don't realize is their actions and lack of knowledge about how to ride a motorcycle properly have resulted in me being forced by law to strap a helmet to my skull every time I want to go for a ride. I don't appreciate that. Hey, if you wanna go wreck your motorcycle then do it on a race track somewhere and if you wanna skid across the pavement do it off the highway so we don't have to see it. It's called natural selection or survival of the fittest.
But I digress.
Women on bikes is the subject and it's one of my favorite subjects to be honest. I personally would like to see a whole lot more women riding their own bikes. Usually once they feel what it's like to be the pilot instead of the passenger they don't want to get on the backseat anymore. It's freedom. They can go where they want, when they want on their own terms and on their own motorcycle, nothing better. My wife rides her own bike. I've built her two bikes now and have plans for her next one already.
I'm often asked how women can get started in riding. My suggestion is to take a rider safety course. I know here in California the CHP has courses women can take to learn how to ride. They have them at numerous locations and they do a great job. If you're a woman that wants to ride your own bike, go for it. Call and sign up for the course. They provide the bikes and if you pass the course it makes it a whole lot easier to get your M1 endorsement.
Support the female riders guys, after all it is the 21st century.
