Women Rule the Motorcycle World

Jennifer Bromme, Owner at Werkstatt SF

At least in the San Francisco Bay Area anyway :) Did you know that all of these local shops are owned or managed by cool women who ride? Let me know if I missed any...

We're also lucky to have so many women involved in the motorcycling community in one way or another, such as:

• Jenny Lefferts, founder of Mad Maps
• Erin Hunter, of Hunter Sills Racing, (landspeed racing record holder)
• Saskia Pardo, partner at MotoJava

And so many friends of mine who are actively involved in track days, road racing, clubs, organizations and more.

The Bay Area is definitely one of the best places in the world to be a woman and ride a motorcycle. 

Motorcycle Gift Idea, Moto Shop Gift Card

If you've never heard of Moto Shop, go Now! 

Moto Shop is the first do-it-yourself motorcycle shop in South San Francisco, CA. All you need is to ride your motorcycle or scooter into the shop and they will have almost everything you need to fix or spruce up your bike. Stations can be rented hourly, daily or monthly. 

Mechanics are also available to help you (but not do the work for you) depending on the nature of your repairs. They also have a ton of classes for you to learn everything from adjusting the sensitive valves on your Ducati to changing your own oil (sooo easy and so cheap to do yourself!)

Pick up a gift card today for your favorite motorcycle or scooter enthusiast. See all the pricing options here. 

What's going on in 2012?

2012 is going to be a good year for motorcycles. I hope to be in as many places as I can, starting with the Grand Opening of Bay Area Moto Shop, a do it yourself motorcycle maintenance space in South San Francisco, CA.

I've put together a list of events that I plan on attending on the right. Hope to see some of you there!
