I have my licence, but everyday life with a family takes priority.
My last bike was a hornet 600.
I got rid of it when I had my daughter. B still has his bikes and I go pinion every now and again but I don't think I will have another bike. |

I knew a couple who both rode bikes, till she became pregnant. She gave up riding for a few years, she gave it up after becoming pregnant for the second time.
She says she will get back on it, but life has gotten in the way. |

The number of female motorcyclists is on the rise. There was an interesting article from The Bike Insurer in the past couple years showing how the percentage of their customers who identify as female has increased. Another that showed I think Belfast and Edinburgh have the highest percentage female riders in the UK. Certainly aware of lots and lots of female bikers here in sunny Scotland  |

I keep my bike in a private (membership) motorbike parking facility, there’s about twenty of us in there, it’s great because we all live nearby and we’ve all gotten to know each other, but honestly the male/female ratio is about 50/50.
Whilst I do agree overall it is a male dominated thing… but not in my neck of the woods! |

I think the stats are 17% of bikers are woman, however, this is on the up which is great to see.
I’m sure there are brand variations as well, I’m a Ducati man and although there are many lady riders I’m think the percentage is less |

"The Mrs used to ride, but she's too short for any bike she likes. Turns out Road legal pit bikes aren't great long term lol"
Mrs F went from the Kawasaki Z1000SX to the Triumph 1200 Bobber as she could get both feet on the ground with being to short. Just traded that in for Triumph 1200 Speedmaster. Same as Bobber but has a bit more styling and a pillion seat   |

Both Triumphs worked, and with bent knees, so 4ft 11 should be ok, as at 5ft 2, Mrs F has found the bike that fits Don't give up hope and get riding again |
