Before Louise Scherbyn founded the Women's International Motorcycle Association, she was simply a working girl who loved motorcycling--at a time when women weren't allowed to wear pants, roads weren't hard-topped, and handlebars didn't always remain attached while riding. Worse, the women's auxiliaries she looked to for support all turned out to be the wrong fit--some uncomfortably, disastrously so--forcing Louise to forge a path of her own. This book tells the fascinating story of Scherbyn's journey in forming the first stand-alone women-only motorcycle association, a lifelong mission she came to whole-heartedly embrace. Chapters cover 225, 000 miles and two decades' worth of community-building, hostilities, physical and professional attacks, recovery, sisterhood and much more. Scherbyn paved the way for women motorcyclists across the world while facing a storm of threats and uncertainties, driving ahead with newfound friends and her singular, unifying vision for women who ride.
