I have been an avid motorcycle enthusiast and have driven many since 1972, what was once considered a male dominated sector is now being balanced out with more female drivers. At one time you would only see women on backs of bikes, in the last 10 or so years, I am seeing this trend starting to tip in favor of more women. Sitting in traffic and seeing a female pull up on a bike, my thumb goes up automatically. It’s refreshing to see more females take the interest and initiative to become drivers instead of riders. Just the other day I saw a female driver with a male passenger, something you don’t normally see. WAY TO GO GIRLS. —Klyde

A while ago I was at Dairy King in Cole Harbour when a mom and her 11 year old son(I asked him his age) rode in on her Harley.I thought she was pretty cool.
Do you ride bikes WAC ?
No I don’t. An old friend used to take me out,I loved it.
Freedom at its best, especially in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont… no helmets lol
