Women bikers

Motorcyclists love to take advantage of their wheels with unrestricted views and take road trips in the summer. You’ll often see motorcycles whizzing by on highways, stopping at greasy spoons, and flooding tourist towns to see the sights. In fact, I recently encountered dozens of riders during a weekend vacation in the town of Winthrop, Washington. It turned out that the small town is at the end of Highway 20, a gorgeous road that runs through an old growth forest with several lakes, mountains and waterfalls to view along the way – a very popular route for riders!

Now this is one hell of a booster for the women at least. Forget flowers and face cream. What do women want? More frequently, the answer is a motorcycle. Legions of women bikers have come a long way from the rough-’n’-tumble “motorcycle mama” days of the 1960s and ‘70s. The stereotypical image of the burly male biker straddling his two-wheeled freedom machine and riding off with a “biker babe” in tow is becoming something of an anachronism. Don’t be surprised if yu see your aunt biking her way to the grocery store or even worse your date turning up on a bike. Forget all your perceptions of bikers as burly beer drinking men, because the female biking segment has increased 34% is 5 years, making lady bikers the hottest segment in the industry and why not? Today, if a woman is draped over a motorcycle, she’s more likely than ever before to be sitting at the throttle, decked out in perfectly coordinated riding gear: chaps, jacket, vest, and gloves.

Between 1998 and 2003, the most recent data available, the number of female bikers in the male-dominated world of motorcycling has increased nearly 34 percent. That translates to roughly 4.3 million women motorcyclists, or about 18 percent of all riders, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), a trade association.

Amazing Motorbike tuning - Alligator bike

Motorcycles have been in vogue for a long time. They are heavy machines which are rugged and heavy. Men have always liked riding motorcycles. Choppers - a type of motorcycle, has have been in existence since the end of the Second World War.
They were fun to ride. These bikes are the choppers.The main aim was to get a rugged bike like Harley-Davidson and chop off all the bulky parts and remove, fit and weld lighter parts. This made the bike lighter, faster and more maneuverable.  These choppers are now being made by big companies also. This was initially the work of small motor bike shops which put together the various parts that the customer wanted. So, it was custom made. Now many varieties of choppers are made by companies that are the big manufacturers.
These bikes also have to be built according to a set of rules. They should be roadworthy and should be such that though the choppers are not heavy, they should be strong enough for using on roads. In the United States the custom made choppers are given license to be used on the highway. Not many countries give them this license.

We often preach for preservation of wild life, but when wild animals grow in number and become a threat to themselves and human life, then emerges such custom-made bikes for the betterment of the species. Commissioned by the owner of the Wildlife Rehabilitation of Hernando (WROH) in Florida, Jim Jablon, Swedish craftsman and leather expert Benny Ohrman has crafted a wild motorbike dubbed “Gator Bike” from the skin and skull of a real alligator, yes, you got it absolutely right.

Powered by an influential Ultima engine to reach a top speed over120 mph, the custom-made bike attaches the head permanently into the handlebars to implant the speedometer and other gauges into the back of the skull, while the skin can be removed after the ride. Intended to raise funds for a wildlife charity, the £51,000 alligator bike will be auctioned in May in Fort Lauderdale.

And the prize draw is set to be just as quirky as the toothy two-wheeler itself – with the winning ticket to be plucked from a pool full of alligators by a 22-year-old model.




The skin is detachable but the head is fixed permanently into the handlebars and has the speedometer implanted into the back of the skull.
