One month like no other. In addition to the arrival of the spring, which this year will be more expected that usual, besides the fact that 19 our revered leader will celebrate its spring 34 (always him), it's also the month that sees the advent of a much-anticipated day, 8! : Women's day and incidentally, it is also the anniversary of your devoted servant (which makes sense, because I am sure to be the most beautiful gifts for the ladies!...)Hum hum hum!)

Sometimes randomly doing things. While the subject of the editorial was selected recently, appeared on M.O. a post whose concern was whether women had its place in the macho Pantheon that is the practice of the motorcycle. Because finally, let's be a both or little realistic, these women, whose gentleness and philosophy have nothing in common with the men, have actually something to the posterior screw on a motorcycle as passenger seat, and this at the risk of spend for the helmeted warring such as Amazons of the modern world?
And although Yes!
Because, at the risk of disappointing some, be aware that the phenomenon is almost as old as the bike itself. Deem in instead:
-1944, a young Belgian woman, named Marianne Weber has just now when she organized and set up the famous Belgian "Brabant-Ardenne" rally. After his official debut on a 350 twin Triumph in 1947, it will pass to the status of woman pilot from 1952 on a mono Norton 500, and will be out beating the record of the launched kilometre of Belgium. Then the time comes to European and African raids.
Become the equal of men in matters motorcycle, it will be consultant and contributor to major motorcycle magazines such as: the Federation rider Belgium, Belgium Sports, but also Motor Cycles in London and Paris motorcycles Techniques! What can leave dreamer good number of men...
Marianne Weber however provides a precise answer to the question we asked more top in saying "riding on a motorcycle, c�est like to listen to music in stereo, you really are part of l�environnement".
Therefore it is common among boys and girls passionate motorcycle! This feeling of freedom, of direct contact with the elements, this impresssion to body with his machine up to form more than, is not exclusively male and is available in the same way to the feminine...
Of course, I hear by the sorrows spirits voice serious go sour comments mild: "it was long ago... today, a woman cannot control the power of a modern machine..." "It is not tomorrow the day before that you revisited it... etc, etc".
Well, for more doubtful, let me tell you of a French, Agnès Dupuy, nearest us in time that here is a sample of the top:
-1993: 6th T.F.V. (trophy women's speed) on a 250 HSG.
-1994: 10th in the 250 HSG T.F.V.
-1995: 2nd in the T.F.V.
-1996: Participation at the mixed Championship in 250.
-1997: 26th l�Aprilia Cup 250, 37 competitors classified, and only woman in the plateau
-1998: 23rd in the 12 hours of Magny Cours on a CBR 600
-1999: 4th at the silver bowl on a R6.
-2000: World Championship of endurance with the only female crew participating in the 24 hours of SPA, but fall and abandonment.
Then the skeptics, it calm not!
The last diehard, remember seasons 2001 and 2003 big prices 250 and the (very) pretty Katja Poensgen... it is tantamount you?... of course, you could not not forget that she was the only woman in the modern era of the motorbike in 250 World Championship! And if ever you had the nerve to say that she has never done nothing in terms of results, I put you to the challenge of rolling as fast as the maid, like that, just to see...But it was not a case for both. Because you know this, two other women have marked world speed championship points:
-Taru Rinne, Finnish, the GP points mark. It was in le Castellet in 1988 and she placed 14th in the 125cc!. In all, she scored 25 points 88 and 89. It also signed the 2nd time of testing of the GP of Germany 125 in 1989!
-The Japanese Tomoko Warbler scored it also points in 125 (30 points 94 and 95).
This therefore let you imagine the potential of the young ladies...
Or and finally the Czech Markéta Janáková, qualified in the GP of Czech 125 in 2003!
Some names are passed to the forgotten ran in sidecar with more or less success, others still participated in the Paris-Dakar and ended it, what is already a feat!
Then, Yes. For me and for many other men, I consider you ours mesdasmes, and often better, not necessarily in trajectories, but spirit, acts and passion. And it was inconceivable that I will not make again, a well-deserved tribute to our dear MOlineuses which I will not list (him forget), but know this girls: usually, I you love already, if with even more force that my lips dwelling on your cheeks to youmotardes of heart and facts!
Your own dedicated
Cordial V at all!

Did note: in bulk from the long list of the talented impossible to quote in its entirety: Jocelin Veilleux, pretty brunette who want AMA 250, Pat Wise, who was 4 times on the monkey of the quadruple world champion Eric Oliver to the TT of the Isle of man Sides 1958, and which has equal rolled on Velocette VenomManx Norton or Norton Dominator 600; Fran Crane, endurance; Katrin Lyda and Aurélia Tendil rally; DEBIE Evans in trial... and also Irene Beckson or Jodie York, who send even the large gas...
