International Female Ride Day is May 1 and organizers are seeing a groundswell of participation with more women riders and more countries participating than expected. Women motorcycle clubs from all over the United States and Canada are getting together to ride and show their support for women motorcyclists. The “female ride day” fever is spreading all over the world as women riders events are now planned in Israel, Australia, France, Poland, and Italy.

-Women Riders Now

Wow!  It’s great to see International Female Ride Day taking over the globe tomorrow.  You can see the long list of women’s motorcycle clubs here.

International Female Ride Day was started up by Vicki Gray to build awareness of female riders everywhere.  To participate, just simply ride your motorcycle that day.  Take a picture of yourself and send it in to Motoress.

The event shines a spotlight on women motorcyclists—it’s a day for women, of women, everywhere. A day emphasizing the many numbers of female’s who ride motorcycles; supporting their diversities, ageless, limitless abilities and the enjoyment embraced for the activity.

The great-looking paint scheme of the new Special Edition Ninja 250R which features Kawi green with black side panels, echoes the MotoGP ZX-RR.

This is a strange time to release such a bike since the British motorsports site Autosport.com recently reported that the Japanese manufacturer will announce its withdrawal from MotoGP racing on Jan. 5, 2009, leaving John Hopkins and Marco Melandri without a ride. I don’t imagine they would be interested in shelling out four G’s of their hard earned cash to buy one of their own but my guess is that plenty of other people will be interested in living the dream.

I think I remember seeing the book ‘The Joy of Sex’ in my parents bedroom. It may have been a bad dream or I could have subconsciously removed it from memory. Pop culture suggests that the ‘70s was a dirty decade. With the release of Deep Throat, the birth of Hustler magazine and just look at the guy on the cover from the first edition of this famous book that was released in ’72.

In ‘The New Joy of Sex,’ the suggestion of having sex on a moving motorcycle, which was included in the older editions, has been omitted. Perhaps this decision came after legal issues arose from people actually trying it. Not only would it be illegal in most states, it probably isn’t very safe either. It would however, be quite a challenge. It would also be one hell of a memorable ride!
