How More Women Are Taking Up Motorcycling

There is something considered traditionally masculine about getting your hands on the handlebars and riding a motorcycle into the open world. The association with biker gangs and some of the more rugged, masculine themed brands have certainly helped with that. However, there’s nothing to say that women aren’t perfectly suited to hopping up and setting off on two-wheels either. Here are a few tips if you’re looking to get into motorcycling.

Getting started

Riding a motorcycle can be pretty daunting the first time that you do it. That’s the same for just about anything, male, female, or otherwise. It’s all about making the decision to get started and then knowing where you have to start. There are plenty of motorcycle training classes available, including ladies-only license training courses. There’s no other way better recommended to help you get used to the feel of riding that bike.

Ride in the ways that are comfortable to you

There are different types of motorcycle riding that you might want to get into at some point. Some might enjoy highway riding, some might enjoy going off-road, some might enjoy being part of a touring group. If you’re not ready for any of those, then don’t feel pressured to join in just yet. You will know when you feel comfortable with your bike and when you’re ready to try out different styles of riding.

Choose the right bike for you

If you’re buying a motorcycle, it’s vital to make sure that you’re choosing one that’s right for you. Liking the feel and performance of it, being assured of its safety and reliability, and picking one that fits your preferences in terms of seating types is crucial. For women, it’s true that size matters, since women are typically smaller than men, you may also need to look for motorcycles that are better known for being more compact.

Dressing for the ride

Given how stylish motorcycling is, it’s not surprising that people get wrapped up in the aesthetics of how they look. However, what’s crucial is that safety moto gear for women is your first concern. You need to dress for slide, not just the ride, meaning hard-wearing gearing for your legs and top, as well as a helmet. Don’t wear any loose clothing on a motorcycle and make sure that your hair is reliably up and out of the way while riding.

Get to know the machine yourself

Women do still face a stigma about not being able to carry out their own motor vehicle maintenance. Don’t let that dissuade you, however. Anyone can learn the basics of motorcycle DIY, and there are plenty of online tutorials, videos, and tips to help you get to know your bike better. It will make it a lot easier to get along with the machine.

There’s nothing to stop any woman from getting into motorcycling. You might need to be a little pickier with your rides and make sure it’s right for you, but beyond that, you’re good to go.

All-new Jaguar F-Type Coupe & R



5-liter supercharged V8 engine and will reach 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph (electronically limited)2. The F-TYPE S Coupe and F-TYPE Coupe are powered by 3-liter supercharged V6 engines in 380hp and 340hp forms respectively, giving 0-60 mph in 4.8/5.1 seconds and top speeds of 171/161 mph2.

The F-TYPE Coupe visual message is defined by three key ‘heart lines’, that visual message beginning with the formidable grille. It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.

The second heart line begins at the rear edge of the door, swelling outwards and upwards to create a visually strong wheel arch, emphasizing the car’s rear-wheel drive layout, before dropping vertically through the tail lamp ...
