Izabela Schmidt, a 38 year old Polish motorcycling woman, submitted a couple photos through the motolady facebook page. The vintage pin-up style BMW shot was too cool not to share, so I asked her for a little bio.
“I’m Izabela, 38, from Poland. My first bike was a Simpson Scooter. I was 15 and I drove without driving license. 🙂 Lucky me, the police didn’t catch me. I got my motorcycle license in 2001 and then rode my first “real bike”- a Yamaha FZR 1000. In this times in Poland it was uncommon for women to drive on motorbikes so everywhere I went people were starr=ing at me as if I was an alien. It was a funny time. I’ve owned a Suzuki GS 500 F, Harley Davidson Night rod, Honda CB 500, and a little off road riding on a Yamaha XT125R. Nowdays I have BMW GS650F because I love to travel. The longest journey was almost 4.000 km in two weeks.
We also have BMW K100, 2003 Harley Davidson Road King Firefighter special edition, and a Yamaha XT125R. By we, I mean my daughter, husband, and myself. We are a riding family!“
Have some photos you want to submit? Head over to the contact page!
Ever look back at photos from trips and realize that you don’t have any with your motorcycle? Photos with people included are way more memorable, even though we love looking at our sexy machines. Amanda Zito and I made a little how-to video with tips and tricks for snapping photos of you on your bike!
