Hi Ladies....well...here it is! The book is finally done and ready to read! I again want to thank everyone who wrote in... this could not be possible without you. I hope you enjoy this book...I think everyone will find a story that relates to their own riding experience. I plan on doing some book signings at different locations...I would love it if some of you ladies who wrote in would show up and show off your bike! I will list the locations and dates of the signings and would love to see a ton of women and their bikes come on out! The book is available at www.WhyWeRide-DivaCustoms.com and at Diva Customs. They will also be available online with Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Books A Million soon! Again...thank you ladies!!!

10 ! I need 10 more stories

Okay Ladies...I need 10 more stories and the book is on its way to the publisher!!! I have to have them by the end of February...so hurry up and get your story in! After these last ones the book is closed and heading off book history!...Okay...maybe thats a bit much, but, this has been an incredible experience for me and I know that for every story in the book there will be a woman out there who can relate to her experience. So thank you ladies...for all the stories, allowing me to take a peak into your life and for sharing your wonderful memories and most of all...putting up with me sending out so many requests!!!!

Here are some more photos from some of our women riders!

Almost There!

Okay ladies...the deadline is approaching and I still don't have 100 stories from 100 women that ride! Which is painfully hard to believe...because all of the women I have talked to are so passionate about riding...how can they not want to share their story? I am sure that some just don't know what to send in..well...you can send in anything...send your story to me and I will help you. But I guess some people just don't want to share their reason...and I can understand that too...its special to you...and just you. Well...as for me, this book has been an amazing experience...I am truly taken aback by some of the stories. Some are funny...some are sad...some are inspiring. I feel privileged that women allowed me and the rest of the world to share in their experiences. And I want to thank all the women who have written in....you are amazing...and you should be very proud of yourselves!

Now...for all of you that have not written in...get writing! Time is running out! And we need you! Send your story to Tami@DivaCustoms.com

Women Riders!

Check out some of the pictures sent in from women who sent in stories for my book. Unforntunately I cannot put the pictures in the book, but I do plan on using the photos to help promote the book. So ladies you are more than welcome to send in pictures of you and your bikes. Keep riding safe and always keep riding sexy!

Okay... there is definitely more than 37 women riders!

Boy, did I sit on somebodies motorcycle without asking! Go Ladies! I sent out this blog about having only 37 women reply to my request for a story for my book and wow did the ladies come back with gusto! I went from only having 37 women reply to 53 in two days! Lets hear it for the girls! I have been getting great responses and I truly thank you for sharing them with me. Some of the stories make me laugh, some make me proud to be a woman riding and some just bring tears to my eyes. So ladies we are half way there...only 47 more to go! If you would like to send in a photo that would be great too. I am very proud to be able to ride motorcycles, to own a business doing what I love...although sometimes I wish I just worked the drive-thru at McDonalds! We are a special breed, not everybody rides...but we do! So thank you ladies...for putting your hearts in your stories, for sharing special moments and for setting me straight that there are more than 37 women who ride motorcycles! Ride Safe and Ride Sexy!

There are only 37 Women Who Ride Motorcycles?

Okay, I have sent out numerous e-mails, I have posted my request on several websites and have contacted several motorcycle groups about helping me spread the word about the book I am putting together. The book is filled with quotes from women on why they decided to start riding motorcycles. And I have to say to my complete surprise that there are only 37 women in the entire United States that ride motorcycles! Shocking isn't it? I could have sworn there were more than that. Well, maybe there are more they just don't want to let the world know why they started riding motorcycles. Maybe they are just shy...well...if you are a woman on a motorcycle you better get used to people looking at you. See...there are still a lot more men riding out there than women so its still a surprise when people see a motorcycle go by and there is a woman on the back of it.

Now my goal was to get 100 quotes from women on why they started riding, and my time is running out. I need all of the stories in by the end of January so the book will be available by the Spring. Now maybe you might feel like you don't have a good story...every story is good...because its yours. We all have different reasons...that's what makes it special. And I know you have time to write...it's wintertime...most of us are not out there riding in this cold weather. But I have to say that I have met several women who brave the cold climate and ride anyway.

So ladies, I ask you again, send in your stories...help me spread the word...don't let the other women riders down. Lets get together and finally let the world know why we ride. Its your time...its our time!

Send me your story, a paragraph 10 to 20 sentences long, to Tami@DivaCustoms.com. At the end of your story give me authorization to publish it, I have to ask for copyright reasons.

Thanks for helping me prove that there are more than 37 women who ride motorcyles!
