The lovely Jess on her ‘72 BMW R75/5 cafe roadster. Photo collage by Volker Helmuth, just up the road in Vancouver, B.C., is a tribute to the great British collage photographer David Hockney.

Jess is Volker’s wife, and yes she rides!
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!
