			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When motorcycles first became a popular vehicle of choice women were  more than likely either hitching a ride on the back or posing half naked  sprawled on one in a magazine. Like the motorcycles themselves times  have changed. Many women have felt left out of the experience of being  able to ride a bike because it was predominately a male hobby. There  were bad stereotypes associated with female riders and women felt their  place as a mom was on the back riding, not up front giving the rides.</p>
<p>Now the only problem women have is the size and strength difference  between themselves and men. The height, arm and leg length as well as  upper body strength will make it difficult, but not impossible for a  woman to find the perfect motorcycle for herself. The most important  part in choosing a bike should be the ability to plant both feet  securely and firmly on the ground, as well as being able to handle the  weight of the bike and reach the handles and all the controls without  over stretching. Many new Harley Davidson motorcycles and Kawasaki  models have been built with a woman&#8217;s physic in mind. This gives a woman  quite a bit of choices when trying to choose the right motorcycle for  her personal build as well as style.</p>
<p>There are now female motorcycle clubs popping up all around the country.  What was once only a male thing has quickly become a woman thing as  well! Female motorcycle clubs are not only a way for women riders to  find friends that love to do similar things, but it’s also a support  group for new riders or women who are looking into becoming riders. Many  clubs will offer the support and the information needed to be safe and  have fun.</p>
<p>Women have now started to sparkle up their motorcycles and gear. With  pink helmets, pink jackets, and a pink sparkly new paint job on the new  Harley Davidson Sportster women have turned what once was thought to be a  male only world into a fairy land of speed and power.</p>
