For all you future MotoVixens, I hope this video gives you the motivation to join a sport that we all love.   With any sport, it can be dangerous, but with the proper education and instruction, it is safer than most people think.  As motorcyclists we tend to be more aware of our surroundings and we are better riders and drivers because of this.  Distraction is not an option when you ride, you have to be alert and scan for hazards at all times.  It is challenging and rewarding all in one, I hope this brief clip encourages you to join us….MotoVixens ride!
