Amazing number of women in m/c history!
I see most wore some sort of hat or beanie to hold their brains in if they had a bad prang.  The shoes were often more a nod to fashion than practicality, too.

Pi 1.  Whoa.  Don't mess with those gals!!

Pic 9.  British weather and beanies and overcoats to fend it off.  And a dog on the tank.  Thank goodness they've outlawed that dangerous folly!   :whistle

Pic 11.  Would you lean into a corner on gravel like that on a modern bike?  Tough lady!

50cc in a TT race! (pic 24)  Obviously a special division.

Ciggies, pullovers and suits. (pic 19)  All you need, really.

Interesting step through's in some of the pictures. Apart from the Honda Cub or postee bike I don't think anyone makes them these days.   :thumb  :thumb  :thumb

It's the "old fashioned" look that appeals to you, these days.  Right?
