March 12, 2023

Motorcycling has been a male-dominated activity for decades, but that hasn't stopped countless women from carving out a place for themselves in the motorcycle community. From trailblazers who broke barriers in the early 20th century to modern-day riders who are pushing the limits of what's possible on two wheels, there are countless women who have made significant contributions to motorcycling history. 

 

In this blog post, we'll take a look at some of the most famous female motorcycle riders who have left their mark on the sport.

She broke numerous barriers during her career, including riding cross-country solo as an African American woman in the 1930s and 1940s, a time when segregation was still rampant in many parts of the United States.
