11 Days Til Christmas

Unfortunately I missed Day 12, but here's Day 11!

The American Motorcycle Girls: A Photographic History Of Early Women Motorcyclists, ($33.25 as of 12/14/16) by Cristine Sommer Simmons, is an incredibly history of women riding motorcycles. I wish someone would gift this to me! :) 

Gracing the cover is also Dot Robinson, (founder/Motor Maids) who founded the oldest women's motorcycle club in America. A club that I joined over 3 years ago. 

The photos are beautiful as well as the stories, and for the woman who rides, she's going to LOVE this book. I think a lot of men who ride would enjoy this as well but for us, I feel it's going to be particularly special to see how the images of women riding has changed over the century. 

Especially when it comes to gear! We've come a long way, baby.... 

Only 13 Days Til Christmas

Vintage motorcycles. What's not to love? 

Okay, I'm posting this a little early because I just LOVE this gift idea.

This awesome calendar from the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, IA is the perfect gift for anyone who rides. Who wouldn't love these kickass photos of men, women and children on motorcycles? 

Honor the history of motorcycling with this really cool calendar. I think even some car enthusiasts would love this. I don't use paper calendars anymore and I would LOVE this. I'm contemplating how many to order for Christmas gifts this month....

Buy a copy from their online store for $12.99 + free shipping here.

Motorcycle Gift Idea, Base Layers

Warm baselayers are one of the 'Must Haves' for any woman who rides year round. It really does make a difference!

Above left is the Schampa skinny shirt (matching pants also available). Read my review here.

Above right is the Icebreaker Merino Wool zip top. It's on sale from Backcountry Gear for $75.  I've heard great things about Icebreaker clothing. If you know someone who can't afford to buy a whole new set of insulated, armored gear, this might be a great accessory in the meantime to help keep them a little bit warmer and more comfy. 

Unfortunately I don't know what the fitment is with the Icebreakers, but I did stumble upon a travel forum that had some comments implying that they're curvy friendly in terms of shape.
