I came across this new show, on Youtube, about motorcycling and women

Check it out -- I should probably share this on the ladies only lounge

http://www.heelsonwheelstv.com

or on Youtube:

I found this to be kind of embarrassing for female motorcyclists.
One girl has had her bike for 6 months and only has 200 miles on it and one doesn't even own a bike yet.
It will be interesting to see how this develops.

I liked it... they seem candid. I think they need more riding to have repeat interest but that could happen. I looked for the right bike for 6 months.
I liked it.

You are a WAY more inspirational - especially if you load a video of you playing your bass WHILE sitting on your bike! DOUBLE threat! :)

still recovering - back to crutches, then walking with a stick, then running - then hopefully riding again!

Heels On Wheels, the title sounds really cool. What could be more hotter than women on bikes!

I could never understand the emphasis on gender in the first place.

Wow, a woman on a motorcycle. Big deal. Women have been riding motorcycles since they were invented.

Man, woman, it doesn't matter. Its a person riding a motorcycle. Big deal.
There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle.

The women that I know that ride bikes would just laugh at the whole thing ( my wifes take anyway). How the hell do these people get their own show? If they need to do a show for women only, why not use women who know what they are doing?

It seems more lke a show for the type of women who are interested in getting a bike 'cause it matches their purse :P

Well, it seemed like an amateur version of The View. (I get subjected to that when I visit my mother).
I wasted 9 minutes....

They have created their own show because they have video cameras and anyone can upload to youtube.

I suppose it may appeal to the more vacuous.....
