The morning air is cool and dry. I try to savour it, knowing it will be a sweet, sweet distant dream in a couple hours.

Fast and dirty.

Adventure was always going to be on the cards.

Any excuse for a quick braap and a chin-wag.

No way I can get out of it now. This was as ready as I was gonna be.

Super Hooligan.

…and passionate escape artists, and occasional hooligans...

Any age is a good one with gasoline surging through your veins. Why wait until you retire?

A kindred spirit, Cait discusses setting up and running California Moto Market, wrangling womens moto gear vendors, all day rides, and whiskey. Not necessarily in that order.

Recently married woman in a skin tight fleece lined leather bodysuit rides to Germany to see her lover.

Between people calling me "Ma’am" and a Denis Rodman sighting, it's just another 7am in Hollywood.

"One big Scram Jam", and as far as camping goes, Edward Norton as khaki scout troop leader was nowhere to be seen.

Getting handsy.

Bemoaned financials aside, what is the imperative? The answer: to ride my motorbike.

Nina never felt she had any reason to believe she couldn’t do what her older brother could, and often beat him at trying things. She is a ray of sunshine and makes everything look fun.

Elspeth Beard is recognised for being the first British woman to ride around the world on a motorcycle. My heart swelled with pride for this woman I had never met who had accomplished such a defiant adventure.

Four sisters (from different misters) doing it for… well… other sisters, actually. Sisters suffering from endometriosis to be precise.

Our internal compasses have led us to explore lands far and wide, and to fall in love with our country with each and every mile. Once we left the familiar, lands opened up and the terrains became ever-changing.

Elspeth Beard writes openly and discusses hard subjects (like, seriously, hard subjects) with the same ease as she can change a throttle cable. What have you done lately?

Aileen Silvestris (the Moto Quest) seems to be in a state of perpetual travel. Her hair oscillates between fire engine red, auburn, and most recently easter egg pink. She is the kind of woman who can walk into a tattoo parlour looking for directions and come out with new ink.
