Inspiring women
Is motorcycling just a guy’s sport? No. There’s even a Quebec Women Riders Association!
In fact, according to the CVHR, the number of women motorcycle owners is currently at an all-time high. According to the latest data from the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), women represent 14% of all motorcycle owners, a proportion that more than doubled from 2003 to 2014*. And of the 30 million Americans who rode a motorcycle in 2014, a quarter were female*. In Quebec, according to the latest figures from the SAAQ, the number of female motorcycle owners increased by nearly 30% from 2010 to 2014.” (February 2016)
