Motorcycle News for Women Riders

Women: just picture a confident, artistic man who's charitable and embraces the romantic side of relationships. Hard to imagine? He's closer than you might think: just check out your local biker hangout.

Charities hold a place in bikers' hearts
Bikers are slightly more likely than non-bikers to be involved in a charity or cause (43 percent versus 39 percent). Bikers are most passionate about charities or causes involving children, while non-bikers prefer community and social service charities or causes.

When giving back, start at home
Riders are more likely than non-riders to be involved in their community (45 percent versus 37 percent). When it comes to what kind of involvement though, both groups prefer to volunteer at their local hospital, shelter, and food bank.

Want to join a social media motorcycle gang?
Male bikers are slightly more likely than those who don't ride to use social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace to catch up with friends (12 percent versus 10 percent). If you are invited to join the gang, just say yes! When asked what they do when someone denies their "friend request" on a social networking site, motorcyclists are more likely to send an e-mail directly to the person who denied them and ask for an explanation (6 percent versus 4 percent). Bikers are also two times more likely than non-riders to "friend request" them again.
