Women in the Saddle – My Journey as a Female Rider
Offer Ends on Mar. 27 2026
Motorcycles have been part of my life for over 24 years, and during that time I’ve seen the riding community grow and evolve in many ways. One of the most exciting changes has been the growing number of women discovering the freedom and excitement that comes with riding.
When I first started riding, it wasn’t as common to see women on motorcycles. Today, that’s changing — and it’s a great thing for the industry and the riding community as a whole.
How It All Started
Like many riders, my journey started with curiosity and quickly turned into a passion. Riding offers something unique that’s hard to explain until you experience it yourself. It’s freedom, focus, and adrenaline all wrapped into one.
Over the years, riding has become more than just a hobby for me. It’s shaped friendships, experiences, and even my career in the powersports industry.
Working in the Industry as a Rider
For nearly 13 years, I’ve worked as a finance manager at a powersports dealership. Being a rider myself gives me a different perspective when working with customers.
I understand the excitement of buying a motorcycle because I’ve been there myself. I also understand the importance of protecting that investment and making smart decisions when it comes to financing, maintenance, and protection plans.
That rider-to-rider perspective helps me guide customers through the process in a way that feels genuine rather than transactional.
Women Are Changing the Riding Community
More women are riding today than ever before, and it’s exciting to see.
Women riders are:
commuting on motorcycles
traveling long distances
riding track days
exploring off-road riding
The industry is also evolving with more gear, training programs, and communities designed to support female riders.
Advice for Women Thinking About Riding
If you’re a woman who has ever thought about learning to ride, my advice is simple: don’t let intimidation stop you.
Start with:
a rider training course
the right motorcycle for your comfort level
quality riding gear
Most importantly, surround yourself with supportive riders who encourage learning and growth.
Final Thoughts
Motorcycles have given me countless experiences and opportunities over the past two decades. Seeing more women discover that same passion is something I’m excited about both as a rider and as someone working in the industry.
The more diverse the riding community becomes, the stronger and more welcoming it is for everyone.
