They are much more than ladies enjoying motorcycling for the simple and unique pleasure of casual riding. They all embrace other linked activities like racing, publishing, raising money for diverse charities, promoting the sport to other women, building motorcycles, painting them, engraving chrome or designing parts and gear conceived for them.
They are today the most influential women of our industry. 22 of them are featured in the best seller book Biker Chicz of North America where you can read their compelling, intriguing, fascinating and inspirational stories. They are all beautiful for their intelligence, courage, tenacity, each of them having a very different life itinerary but leading them all to become bikers et to contribute to our sport.
Those present in Sturgis stopped by the gorgeous Native American Prairie Edge Gallery in Rapid City to meet with their fans and sign the book that Edward Winterhalder dedicated to them. Biker Chicz Of North America is an inspirational tale for all women who have thought about riding but never took action, but it is also a book that all male bikers should read to understand, appreciate and respect even more all female riders that they meet on or at the end of the road.
Those present on the picture are, from left to right: Cris Sommer Simmons, Meg McDonough, Gloria Tramontin Struck, Vicki Roberts-Sanfelipo (standing), Betsy Huelskamp, Pepper Massey (standing), Gevin FaxBy.

Cyril, the greatest supporter of female riders… Great ladies, I am sure.
Those are the ladies to know and to ride with. Nice pic, Cyril.
wasn’t there a tv show a few years back about some of these ladies that traveled from the coast to sturgis >
i think there was a lady who was a goth and played classical piano. it was on tlc or the discovery channel.
You can not find a finer bunch of women anywhere and I am happy and proud tto know many of them.
You will find out much more about them by reading the Biker Chickz book.
Kirk Perry does not remember 1 night stands, I guess. Hey Cyril, just want you to know we are watching and there is nobody standing in the photo!@#$% PS. Where are the Women Riders that are hardly Clad little clothing? These are also Lady Riders that need to be seen and commended.
I am proud to say that I personally know some of these ladies that are sister Motor Maids. They are an amazing group of women that have mapped the roads of America mile by mile on behalf of women everywhere that ride, thanks to you all, wish I could have made Sturgis and watched it happen. Love to all, “Spanky” Boone, Motor Maid
Just rode with these awesome women at the 1st Annual Biker Belles ride from Deadwood to the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis. They have all done great things to promote women riders and I’m proud to have spent the day with them! Half way through my Biker Chicz book and feel like I know them personally… Looking forward to riding with these fine women again!

I met up with the delightful 86 year old Gloria in Sturgis after she had ridden all the way from New Jersey on her Heritage, at the other end of the spectrum I saw trailers containing bikes with South Dakota plates! Go figure!
What a beautiful pic of an amazing group of women!! I love the happiness!!
Respect for these ladies. peace
