Legendary #CookieAyers, later Cookie Crum (for real, after marrying her fourth husband Bob Crum in 1985) called 'Queen of the Hell Riders' on the #motordrome #wallofdeath in the mid #1950s. Rode bikes behind her parents' backs at 14; literally ran away at 17 to join the circus as a horse trick rider. Answered an ad for a woman to learn to ride the motordrome and never looked back. Always wore white #leather on the road to distinguish herself and dent the sterotype that all riders were scary people in black leather. One of the few women inducted in Harley Hall of Fame, and a longtime #Oregon resident. Passed away in 2015. Apologies, can't credit the photo, though probably belongs to Cookie Crum Estate. #womenwhoride #girlswhoride #aviatrix #retromotorcycle #makelifearide https://ift.tt/2OCX11L

Sleeve for #hemp, #kevlar and #leather jacket (right) before inserted into #armscye in the flat, instead of in the round which I do to best accommodate my machinery for triple stitching the sleeve to the bodice. All seams are always #triplestitched except for the underarm seam, which is double. #womenwhoride #girlswhoride #ladiesthatride #femalepilot #motorcycle #motorbike #makelifearide #everydayisforriding #technicalgarmentdesign #patternmaking #patterncutting #realmotojackets #leatherjackets #leatherwork #leatherwork #leatherworks #cuir #cuero #pelle #шкіра #кожа #designermaker #sewingissexy #handmade #handgefertigt #faitalamain https://ift.tt/2OqgPp4

Early photos are dominated by #harleydavidsonmotorcycles and #indianmotorcycle, of course. Looks like 1916 1000cc Harley model. Too bad I can't as easily identify the woman, or the photographer. #girlswhowrench #womenwhowrench #vintagemotorcycle #retro #womenwhoride https://ift.tt/2NMHGMp

Swedish-American actress ⠀ #Ann-Margret was apparently quite the rider. We need to see a wider range of colors and better fit available for #PPE for women. This green leather would be a good start. On a 500cc #Triumph T100C Tiger. I believe the still is by #darlenehammond ⠀ #triumphmotorcycles #makelifearide #vintagemotorcycle https://ift.tt/2pBMRAx

#digitalsketch for #blackwidow model women's #moto jacket with black #retroreflective tape that would glow in headlights, making riding in black at night a bit less dangerous. That's my plan. #womenwhoride #girlswhoride #ladiesthatride #femalepilot #motorcycle #motorbike #makelifearide #everydayisforriding #technicalgarmentdesign #patternmaking #patterncutting #realmotojackets #leatherjackets #leatherwork #leatherwork #leatherworks #cuir #cuero #pelle #шкіра #кожа #designermaker #sewingissexy #handmade #handgefertigt #faitalamain https://ift.tt/2I3OOy7

The scenario on the right is exhilarating, but I admit I wish there were real-life opportunities for the scenario on the left, also exhilarating, but more #romantic, dramatic and requires a constant heart-to-heart connection with another living being. With the #motorcycle the connection is more like heart-to-physics. **sigh** I suppose I'll take the #moto. It's still fun. #JoannWhalley as #Sorsha from the film #Willow, #costumes by #BarbaraLane (my #sketch of Sorsha's helm; I just love the #scalemail); @shoeihelmetsusa RF-1200 helmet, and #BerylSwain, first woman to race the #isleofmanntt #shoeihelmets #horsemanship #makelifearide #totalgeek https://ift.tt/2NZamBe

#BessieStringfied, first African-American woman to ride solo across country **1930s -can you imagine?** First bike was a '28 Indian Scout; she eventually owned 27 Harleys and, like a lot of lady riders, found work as a civilian moto courier during #WWII. Read her story and many others as told directly to journalist and rider #AnnFerrar in her 1993 book 'Hear Me Roar: Women, Motorcycles, and the Rapture of the Road'. #womenwhoride #wwiiwomen #motoart #retro #everydayisforriding #girlswhoride #femalepilot #aviatrix #indianmotorcycle #harleydavidsonmotorcycles #vintagemotorcycle https://ift.tt/2MK3rHn

#medusa summer jacket, right center and right side pieces, halfscale mockup progress, #leather and #hemp with #kevlar lining. Left middle pic is when I realized I didn't cut the side pieces as intended. That's why we do mockups! Large image shows correction, with hemp under the arm to stay cooler. Right zip is pocket, left zip is vent. #womenwhoride #girlswhoride #ladiesthatride #femalepilot #motorcycle #motorbike #makelifearide #everydayisforriding #technicalgarmentdesign #patternmaking #patterncutting #realmotojackets #leatherjackets #leatherwork #leatherwork #leatherworks #cuir #cuero #pelle #шкіра #кожа #designermaker #sewingissexy #handmade #handgefertigt #faitalamain @preview.app https://ift.tt/2NJ2jbv

Canvas mimics #leather well; good for #draping to explore design ideas for the body but #bloody hard to pin into shape. #sufferforyourart #womenwhoride #girlswhoride #motorcycle #motorbike #makelifearide #technicalgarmentdesign #patternmaking #patterncutting #realmotojackets #leatherjackets #leatherwork #leatherwork #leatherworks #leder #cuir #cuero #pelle #шкіра #кожа #designermaker https://ift.tt/2Ql86Cy

Boppin' around on the #moto in the most beautiful city in the world, #portlandoregon, #treecityusa for 41 years. ...but I lost an @iconmotosports glove somewhere along the way. Must have bopped too hard. #staycations #pdxnow #pdxlife #ipreview @preview.app https://ift.tt/2Mdv9w6

Classics never go out of style. Love this pic of architect @elspethbeard, first British woman to ride 'round the world. Check out her book "Lone Rider", just came out in 2017. #bmwmotorrad #bmwmotorrad #womenwhoride #wanderlust #notallwhowanderarelost #makelifearide #lonerider https://ift.tt/2wN5Z1z
