Chicks On Bikes
by Christina Snook
(From ChicksOnBikes.US)
"Chicks on Bikes is the first book to visually chronicle the culture and lifestyle of real women motorcyclists. The photos and stories range from sassy young racer girls, wind-roughened seniors, leather-clad outlaws, chic corporate climbers, grease-covered mechanics to motorcycle fashion designers.
In the past, women on bikes have been portrayed in the media as bikini-clad sex-objects or clinging to the back of a male rider. Classic movies have shown them as sluts and outcasts. This book casts aside stereotypes and takes a look at who real women riders are today. The photos and writings convey the women’s passion for riding as well as revealing often surprising thoughts on the risks and rewards."

ARE YOU ONE OF "THOSE" GIRLS?
(From the November 26, 2010 issue of HelmetHairMagazine.com)
WINNING ENTRY: TAMELA RICH --- A REAL MAMA (MIDDLE-AGED MOTORSPORT ATHLETE)
"In March of this year I learned to ride a motorcycle. In June, I strapped a pink bra across my windshield and traveled 7500 miles from North Carolina to Oregon and back to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. I waited until my 48th year to become a real-life Motorcycle MAMA (Middle-Aged Motorsport Athlete). While I wish I’d done it sooner, I can’t remake my life. As one of “those” girls, I don’t waste time with regrets. I joined forces with about 40 other of “those” girls, hailing from the United States and Canada, and we met at our rallying point in Cheyenne, Wyoming this July. You’ve never seen so much pink on people or bikes. “Those” girls raised $40k for the cause. I found beauty in the landscape, of course, but also in the people I met on the road. Everyone wanted to get their picture taken with my bra-adorned bike, and many stopped to tell me, a total stranger, about their bout with cancer or a friend or family member’s battle. People asked me if I felt safe on this trip and I think the pink bra must have been a good luck charm. I never met a scary person or a scary animal, and only once did I have scary weather (about 30 seconds of wind shear). Lesson: Don’t let fear stop you from doing what you want to do. “Those” girls know that fear is just excitement without the breath."
