Friday, May 6th is International Female Ride Day 2011. This is the fifth year of calling together all women riders to JUST RIDE!
International Female Ride Day 2011
“Sport bike, cruiser, scooter, off-road, touring or competition, regardless of what type or style of motorcycling interest, International Female Ride Day makes one simple request of women – Just Ride! Get on your bikes, be out there and be visible. The concept has assembled its power and participation in this simple, worldwide-synchronized theme linking a chain of women through the shared activity of motorcycling. It’s one day to celebrate and highlight the many numbers of women who share their passion for the sport. The fact that every female rider participating on May 6th is a role model for others not yet taken the step to enjoy motorcycling, has added to the event’s intentions and participation.” {source}
Calling all BMW, Ducati, Harley Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Norton, Royal Enfield, Suzuki, Triumph, Victory, Yamaha, and any other bikes to come on out and RIDE!

Fantastic idea – we should do this in the UK. If the sight on one girl on a bike is good, the sight of hundreds would be even better. Hope you have a great day.
Great work! 5th year? How time flies when you’re having fun….
We live on a highway and every Saturday and Sunday we watch the bikes drive by as we’re working in the yard. Every tenth rider is a woman. I’ll be watching to see if that number goes up on May 6th.
Is there a ride planned for Victoria Australia, also take a look at our website. Bikers ball at Nagambie. Victoria. We are proud to be introducing “a crash course for the motorcyclist” more than just first aid.
