Each chapter features an individual whose life story is compelling, intriguing, fascinating, and inspirational.<br /><br />Global studies indicate that 12 to 18 percent of motorcycling enthusiasts are women. The number of women motorcycle riders in North America has increased exponentially since the early 1990s, and that exciting trend continues. American Motorcycle Industry Council statistics indicate that over one million new motorcycles were sold in the United States in 2008. Of that impressive number more than 100,000 were sold to women.<br /><br />While each woman featured in this book is unique and extraordinary in her own right, there are, not surprisingly, certain attributes they all have in common. In addition to being avowed motorcycle riders—they live to ride and ride to live—they are successful, intelligent, freethinking, adventurous, creative, inspiring, and tenacious. They are women who have followed their dreams and dared to live life on their own terms. All are survivors who boldly took on challenges that many of us—men or women—would find daunting. Some of them came by their success easily, others by triumphing over adversity.<br /><br />Despite their common traits, most are as different as night and day. Some are introverted, others extroverted; some are family oriented, others are loners. They’ll be the first to admit, however, that without their Harleys, they would not be who they are today. Their beloved motorcycles are what defines them and what sets them apart from their nonriding sisters.Dara Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11150410319180882157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962832353597450954.post-65266928256148981542010-10-14T18:47:00.006-05:002010-10-14T19:08:08.448-05:00Biker Chicz of North America - Worldwide Distribution Agreement Signed With Ingram Book CompanyWe are pleased to report that a worldwide distribution agreement has been signed with the <a href="http://www.ingrambook.com/">Ingram Book Company</a>, which means that <strong>Biker Chicz of North America</strong>, <strong>All Roads Lead To Sturgis: A Biker's Story</strong>, and <strong>The Mirror: A Biker's Story</strong>, can be purchased where ever books are sold, in more than one hundred and fifty (150) countries.<br /><br />Please tell everyone you know that <strong>Biker Chicz of North America</strong> is now available for pre-order where ever books are sold worldwide, and that the book will be published on December 1, 2010.<br /><br />Please also help to spread the word that <strong>All Roads Lead To Sturgis: A Biker's Story</strong> and <strong>The Mirror: A Biker's Story</strong> are now available for purchase where ever books are sold worldwide.<br /><br />For more information, go to <a href="http://www.blockheadcity.com/">http://www.blockheadcity.com/</a>.Dara Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11150410319180882157noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962832353597450954.post-55561948775468421902010-09-16T11:32:00.001-05:002010-09-16T11:33:27.110-05:00Biker Movie Night Events Are Coming Soon To A City Near You!In conjunction with local Harley dealers and their HOG chapters, Biker Movie Night events are sponsored by Blockhead City.

You can let your hair down all the time if you want to. You can dress anyway you wish. Own your road. You can ride to your own rhythm. That is what my new photo shoot with Stacie Huckeba is all about. It is the first session in a series of three. She perfectly captured my spirit in these photos and my presence on this earth as I ride, even though the photos are not exactly of me riding. In this photo, I am wearing a belly dancing top and feather.... I am as light as a feather as I dance to the sensuous rhythm of the road. <br />
<br />
There are four ladies on the road right now who are super inspirations to us all who are part of the Biker Chicz girl power team: Cris Sommer Simmons who is about to undergo the motorcycle journey of a lifetime on a 1915 Harley-Davidson for the Motorcycle Cannonball Run <a href="http://crissommersimmonscannonball.blogspot.com/">http://crissommersimmonscannonball.blogspot.com/</a>. <br />
<br />
And Laura Klock and her daughters who have set records all over the Bonneville Salt Flats. These ladies represent Free to BE! They define determination and can do attitudes. <a href="http://www.lauraklock.com/Welcome.html">http://www.lauraklock.com/Welcome.html</a> <br />
