Who says that only men are adrenaline junkies and that motorcycles have to be exclusively ridden by “higher level of testosterone.”

This rare vintage collection shows that women from the past knew how to pull of a leather jacket, lipstick and a motorcycle. They were fearless women with fancy hairstyles rocking on their motorcycles, breaking stereotypes and having the time of their lives.’
