A pair of smokin’ dames on their motorbikes in Britain, 1930s. Photographs of women motorcyclists from this time period always fascinate me; society norms changing quickly through the early 1900s allowed women to exercise and enjoy some new freedoms. Can you imagine wearing a corset on a motorcycle? Original photo source unknown, though I suspect it’s from historial archives. [ more from the 1930s ]
Lanakila MacNaughton’s photography for the Women’s Moto Exhibit is continually amazing me, capturing the breathtaking beauty of real women who ride motorcycles.
Jillian Erhardt looking beautiful as always. Jillian is a graphic designer and motorcyclist in Maryland. post script- Jillian was on a road trip and was clipped from behind going about 70 mph. Because of her full face helmet, riding pants, jacket, and gloves… she is dinged up but in one piece. Send this lovely lady good vibes.

A little flash back from a motolady in Australia. “My husband’s 1951 BSA B31 350cc which I learned to ride on briefly during 1956…….no licence then. Didn’t start again until 7 years ago and got my licences then. That is me on it! I now ride a 1200cc Custom HD in Aussie — a Bulls, New Zealand” (Monique W. Petersen)
