Product Description
Two wheels and an open road...for Bikerladies, it's an irresistible call to adventure. The motorcycle embodies freedom, power, and seduction. It's the allure of living life on the edge, of defying every expectation, and escaping from the ordinary in a blur of steel horse and leather. And for the growing community of women who love motorcycles, it's a passion unlike any other, a relationship defined by self-discovery, strength, and joy. The joy of being a Bikerlady-living & riding free! From Clara Wagner joyously hiking up her skirt to race a motorcycle in 1910 to today's female celebrities cruising the open roads in a blaze of chrome glory, BIKERLADY delves into the history, the community, the phenomenon, the sport, the dreams, and the pride of all women riders. In this empowering and inspiring book, renowned motojournalist Sasha Mullins explores the unique sisterhood of bikerladies-old and young, mothers and daughters, sisters, wives, grandmothers, executives, celebrities, artists, teachers, and more who race on a track or ride the endless highways and twisting turns on their own personal journeys of self-expression. In richly detailed interviews and profiles, the women on these pages celebrate their passion for motorcycles and share the life lessons learned on the open road, where every ride opens up to endless possibilities. As sexy, joyous, strong, and free as the women it chronicles, BIKERLADY sensually captures the power and spirit of the female motorcycling lifestyle. It is a glorious testament to every woman who heads out on the highways of life to take control of her destiny and isn't afraid to face challenges at full throttle. BIKERLADY speaks to the heart and soul of every woman.

Wow, I now have so much enthusiasm for hitting the road! Very inspiring stories from a wonderful diverse range of woman. Well worth the read.
 Attention Chrome Cowgirls February 17, 2007
This is a very personal, spiritual and inspirational book from Sasha (who also happens to be a dear friend of mine). The writing is clearly from the heart and soul of the author. Included are many other stories of women and their rides and what motorcycling has done for them and their lives. There is also a great chapter on the history of women in motorcycle. The many photographs included are an added plus. Every woman who rides or is thinking about riding should pick up this read.

I've been facinated with motorcycles most of my life. Reading this book just reinforces my "hidden obsession" -- one I hope to make a reality soon :)
The real stories of women and their rides will inspire anyone to get out there and ride -- no matter your background :) From historical women who pioneered the road (before the roads were ANYTHING like we know) to today's high speed racers. Pictures in the book add to the story, they don't detract.
The book is so awesome, my husband reads it :)

If you think women riding their own motorcycles is something new or have wondered why so many women have decided to venture into a predominately male culture, then this book is for you. The author covers all areas pertaining to women involved in motorcycling. It is a history lesson mixed with stories and thoughts of the modern day female rider.
