A 49 year-old, payroll manager for an oil company, Gail recalled her first encounter with motorcycle riders 5 years ago. "I was surprised that that the majority of the riders were middle-aged SINGLES ENTERTAINMENT AND MOTORCYCLE RIDER NEWS These women are chance-takers, selfstarters and independent thinkers, empowered to do a lot of different things that perhaps their mothers might not have thought of doing in the past. Motorcycling fits into that category. Gail now owns and rides her own bike, although at first she admits a little healthy fear. "First, I took a motorcycle safety class through Abate. Then I practiced for 6 weeks in the parking lot with my 2003 Sporster. Once I hit the open road, my addiction to riding grew." Big Dog Chopper. The big rear tire and big motor were a bit intimidating at first, but she knew it was the challenge she needed. Now, Gail has two Big Dogs, recently adding the 2008 Mutt to Julie, a 46 year-old administrative assistant Gail, a 49 year-old, payroll manager for an oil company with long-lasting careers. Many of them even owned their own successful businesses. It wasn't the image of the motorcycle people we all grew up with." Today's female motorcyclists aren't your stereotypical, grungy, immoral biker chicks, barely able to keep a job or their bike on the road. Not so much. An average rider is in her mid-forties, college-educated, well-employed, and self-sufficient, earning $50,000 or more. Shauna, 36, got her 1st bike for an anniversary present from her husband. Just 2 ½ months later, Gail traded up to a 2001 Big Dog Pro Sport, tested it at Bandimere with an elapsed time of 12 seconds in the quarter mile, put 30,000 miles on it, and traded it for a new 2006 her collection. Shauna, now 36, got into riding when her husband bought her a bike for their 10-year-anniversary. She traded that Sportster for a Low Rider, and then she lucked out and won a Custom in a contest. "I sometimes get male riders that think because I'm a woman I might be intimidated by speed, but no way! I'll just look at them and say, 'Let's hit it and see.' I still ride the Low Rider, but the speed from the Custom is so much more fun." MOTORCYCLERIDERNEWS.COM Shauna also took a motorcycle safety class and highly recommends it for the learning, but also because of the forged friendships. "I met new friends during that class that to this day are like my family." One of these is Julie, a 46 year-old administrative assistant, and she agreed with Shauna. "Some of the best people I've ever known I met from riding. That's probably not why I ride, but it is why I continue to ride." Julie continued, "Even though we have lost some really amazing people in senseless, tragic accidents, riding is something you have to love. Otherwise you wouldn't do it. For me, every time I get on my bike I'm a nervous wreck, but once I'm on and riding the open road, it all goes away." Most women know the risks involved with riding, but without risk, there is no reward. And for women bikers that are passionate about the ride, there's nothing like two wheels on the pavement and the wind in your face.

It's time to play. At least until August 5th, when the bills start coming in and work may drag you away from the fun. Taurus: This is the month to get your family involved in riding. Ride with the family, maybe plan some longer trips or invest in better bikes before the summer is over. After the ride, friend and good conversation come to your house. Gemini: You're in the mood for fun, and for Gemini's this month, fun means interesting places to go. Ride a new route or do a little shopping while you're out. Meet new friends and focus on short, frequent trips. Cancer: Your mind's working overtime now, and you've got a lot on your mind until July 26. (And after July 26, you'll be working on budgets or focusing on health.) Shake out the cobwebs with a long ride or get out of town with friends and family for a planning session. Leo: Leo's just want to have fun this month. Music, dancing, parties-long romantic rides. No spectator sports for Leo's this month. You're ready to stretch your capacity for play, and it's time to make new friends. Virgo: Solitary riding suits your mood this month, and you may need long rides to work off frustrations.

Scorpio: Financial changes are unavoidable-but getting out for a long ride is the best way to clear your mind. Network with other bikers now and your problems will turn into opportunities by the end of the year. Sagittarius: Sure, your life's changing-but you just need to get out and play. Money's good. Business is good. Get on the bike and take a long trip. Explore ancient cultures or back roads you've never seen.

This major event now sponsors four charities. This year, Summey is happy to report that donations were made to each charity: Hope House of Colorado, Project Safeguard, South Park Relief Fund and Reality for Children. “Each of these four charities will receive a $1,000 donation on behalf of The Ladies Run.
