Women are still under-represented in the world of motorcycling and motor racing, but they are no longer exceptions. Although motorcycling clubs often consist of men only and do not accept female members, that too does change: more and more women are discovering motorcycling for themselves and starting their own clubs that break stereotypes and create their own rules. Today we want to introduce you to a selection of the coolest clubs:
