Sportbike Gurls? Don't let the name deceive you. Founded in August of 2007, Sportbike Gurls is the latest and greatest thing to hit the internet. It's not just a forum, it's an entire community devoted to women who love motorcycles. It was designed to provide women from all over the country, a place where they can feel comfortable talking about the one thing they all have in commom! Motorcycles!!!
In the last ten years women motorcycle riders have nearly doubled. Women now make up about 10 percent of the riding population and 25 percent of all new motorcycle sales purchases. But, even with that, there are not a lot of places for women to go to learn about things like gear, riding information, technical talk and such.
There have been many forums popping up on the internet that cater to women and motorcycles, but none of them can compare to Sportbike Gurls. Many women look to this community for comradarie, advice, information and entertainment and respect.
To quote one of the members, what makes this forum so great is "the fact that we can have such an active board because we talk about more than just bikes and remain relatively drama-free." The average member is considered to be "fun, witty and enthusiastic about riding".
With the Annual SBG Rally held every July, this makes Sportbike Gurls more than an online community. Members from all over the country and even the world, will be converging on Deal's Gap in North Carolina for the SBG BBQ, Slaying the Dragon, and the Charity Ride. It will be a 3 day event where members will meet and ride together and get to know the people that they normally only get to talk to online.
Sportbike Gurls offers more than just conversations about bikes and riding. It also offers support for those stationed overseas, for people going through hard times, or those just trying to pass the day. There is something here for everyone! Check it out @ www.sportbikegurls.com. Oh, and by the way, you do not need to ride a sport bike to be welcome in this community.
