July Is Women's Motorcycle Month

July is a time to celebrate Women's Motorcycle Month. This traditionally male-dominated passion, is being enjoyed by more women. According to recent statistics, "one of every 10 motorcycle owners is a women." The Ohio Department of Transportation reports that "the number of women motorcycle riders is increasing at a higher rate than the number of male riders - 28 percent versus 7 percent."

Today's women motorcycle riders are also more educated. Recent data shows that one-third of the current generation's women motorcycle riders have college degrees, and are more likely to hold a managerial or professional job than their male counterparts. Some famous women motorcycle riders are: Elizabeth Taylor, Courtney Cox, Angelina Jolie, KD Lang, Queen Latifa, Cher, and Lauren Hutton.
