I first had the honor of meeting Vicki Gray, founder of both Motoress and International Female Ride Day on a press trip approximately a bazillion years ago. Spending a day on bikes with like-minded people is usually a good time, but as a woman who rides, it was especially cool to meet someone who'd already spent years working to encourage and empower more women in motorsports (and particularly on motorcycles).
Finding fellow women who ride is, thankfully, not as rare an occurrence as it once was. We're everywhere, and you'll even spot us in the wild from time to time if you're paying attention. But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't still a thrill every single time.
