The House of Chrome imported motorcycle shop. Antique photo… motoladies abound. Can anyone tell me the history of this photo?
These ladies are the Motor Maids of America, and that shop was where their headquarters were set up! Check out my earlier post on Gloria Tramontin, an original motor maid. (Thanks to Tucker for the tip!)
I’m so excited to announce the project that I’ve been working on for two years… a book all about badass motorcycling women! In the MotoLady’s Book of Women Who Ride you’ll meet 74 of the most influencial motorcyclists of the last century. Motorcycle heroes, trailblazers, and record-breakers like Jessi Combs, Shayna Texter, Laia Sanz, Gloria Tramontin-Struck, the Van Buren sisters, and more can be found inside the 184 pages of this hard cover book celebrating motorcycling women!
