BIKERLADY

The book published by Citadel Press, an imprint of Kensington Publishing Corp - August 2003

The motorcycle is a glorious mystery that subconsciously and healthfully touches the heart and soul of women everywhere.  It transforms us in to wind goddesses, powerful and free.  The motorcycle is the "freedom machine" from long ago that promoted women's social and dres reform much to the chagrin of society's restraining views of the era.  And even today this mighty iron horse embodies and celebrates the beauty of our feminine strength and spirit set free...

We are like iron Godivas as we grab life by the handlebars and charge forward on the highways of our purpose-filled destiny to realize our most heartfelt dreams.  We are free to be ourselves as God intended each of us and we discover that inner power in the wind riding hundreds and thousands of miles,joyously living and riding free!  Riding a motorcycle is the ultimate GIRL POWER! - Sasha, author and a bikerlady.

Two wheels and an open road...for Bikerladies, it's an irresistable call to adventure.  The motorcycle embodies freedom, power, and seduction.  It's the allure of living on the edge, of defying every expectation, and escaping from the ordinary in a blur of steel horse and leather.  And for the growing community of women who love motorcycles, it's a passion unlike any other, a relationship defined by self discovery, strength, and joy.

The joy of  being a Bikerlady - living & riding free!

From Clara Wagner joyously hiking up her skirt to race a motorcycle in 1910 to today's female celebrities cruising the open roads in a blaze of chrome glory, BIKERLADY delves into the history, the community, the phenomenon, the sport, the dreams, and the pride of all women riders.

In this empowering and inspiring book, renowned moto journalist Sasha Mullins explores the unique sisterhood of bikerladies - old and young, mothers and daughters, sisters, wives, grandmothers, executives, celebrities, artists, teachers, and more who race on a track or ride the endless highways and twisting turns on their own personal journeys of self expression.

In richly detailed interviews and profiles, the women on these pages celebrate their passion for motorcycles and share the life lessons learned on the open road, where every ride opens up to endless possibilities.

As sexy, joyous, strong and free as the women it chronicles, BIKERLADY sensually captures the power and spirit of the female motorcycling lifestyle.  It is a glorious testament to every woman who heads out on the highways of life to take control of her destiny and isn't afraid to face challenges at full throttle.

BIKERLADY speaks to the heart and soul of every woman.

Of the hundreds of emails that I've received on this site, this one is by far and away the most amazing ever.  It comes from one Major Robert Hart, lately of Kuwait City, originally from Central Florida.  It's a replay of a column that he's been sending back home to the local papers in Florida.  Bobby had contacted me about obtaining some of the items on the site, and I sent him and the Boyz along some T-shirts and stuff.  Least I could do, hell nobody's gonna shoot at me over here other than a couple of ex-wives maybe.  These boys are laying it on the line for us.  Read on.  It's an edited version, but you'll get the gist.

Desert Diary

October 12, 2003

I've said in earlier columns how supportive everyone has been since we've been mobilized.  It still astounds me how total strangers from all over the country make the effort to mail packages and letters to me.  Recently someone sent me something that really struck a chord with me.

As an impressionable teenager, my favorite movie and subsequent television show was THEN CAME BRONSON , the story of a vagabond motorcyclist who quits his job as a reporter and spends the rest of the 26 episodes the series lasted driving around the country, helping people out of jams and as the theme song said, "Living life my way."  The opening scene features Bronson stopped at a light when a haggard looking businessman pulls up beside him.  The businessman asks, "Taking a trip?" "What's that?" Bronson replies.  The scintillating dialogue continues, "Going on a trip?" "Yeah."  "Where to?" "Oh, I don't know, where ever I end up I guess."  "Man I wish I was you." "Really?  Well hang in there.", Bronson said as he rides off into the sunset.  Bronson rode a Harley Sportster 1200(sic), which started a lifelong craving for me to own such a machine.  It has become somewhat of a running joke among my family and friends who give me toy Harleys and T-shirts every Christmas.  It probably is a good thing I didn't get the Harley earlier because I got enough bruises and stiches from racing around terrorizing our neighborhood and most of the Southeast on one of the several Yamahas my family owned.  My wife always said I could buy a Harley when our sons graduated.  As soon as the youngest one received his high school diploma, I started making noises...many that sounded a lot like the deep "potato, potato, potato"music only a Harley makes.  My wife squashed that with one word, "College...I meant when they graduate from college because it won't matter when you kill yourself then."

Anyway, once we deployed one of our soldiers said,"You know if you're deployed for 90 days, Harley has a plan where you can buy one of their bikes fairly cheap."  Now whey you talk about a Harley, fairly cheap is relative.  One Harley costs as much as half a dozen Yamahas.  It really was too expensive of a toy for me to buy.  I promise, this is how it happened:  My roommate went over and talked to the salesman and decided he was going to buy a bike.  He showed me the prices, and I still wasn't sold.  To make a long story short, he decided he was going to wait before he bought one, but gave me all the paperwork.  I think it was fate.  I was one of several people I know who put in an order and to this point have been the only one accepted - despite the fact that my order went in later than everyone else's.  So sometime in December, I'll be getting a special anniversary edition Harley delivered. 

Having said all that, buying the bike got me thinking about THEN CAME BRONSON.  I went online to see if I could find something from the old series.  I discovered a link to a THEN CAME BRONSON  website.  I thought the site had to be obsolete, but I tried anyway and got a response from the guy who had the site.  We exchanged a few emails, and he found out I was a mobilized reservist.  He told me not to order any thing, but about a week later two boxes arrived with all sorts of  THEN CAME BRONSON stuff, including the original movie and all 26 episodes.  I thought I had died and gone to rerun heaven.  He also gave my name to the Blue Knights in Nevada and California who also wanted to send things to the troops.  I went to our Morale, Recreation and Welfare people, and we started setting up a Harley night where we will watch the movie and give away stuff.  I watched the movie and have been watching an episode about every night.  Frankly, the show is pretty hokey and very predictable.  I love it.  Several other people who have watched the movie say the same thing - usually when they come to borrow another episode.

The note my friend wrote was simple, "No need for thanks; the thanks are all on this end."  It has definitely helped me and several others who are now hooked on the series follow Bronson's advice,"HANG IN THERE."
