Hello from Honda HQ in Torrance, CA! The Rebel gets it’s 500 mile service, and I get a tour.
Visiting Honda HQ
Motorcycle Women of the 70s
Joan Jett
The 60s chopper movement brought lots of babes on bikes, lots of boobs flyin’ free at events, on the back leanin’ against the sissy bar especially.
In the 70s, more and more women were starting to ride their own motorcycles.
Some very cool photos came of this.

Hiroko Hori, joined a road race in 1976 as the first female racer.

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.
Rad pics. Anyone know what brand boots those are in the bottom pic?
Full Bore, made by Sidi.
The first photo is not ‘just’ Joan Jett; it’s the band The Runaways.
I liked that early band.
Man do I remember those woman, always wondered if I would ever meet up with them. Never did though. How time flies by.
