Hi looking for fellow female classic/custom/cafe racer riders

Post by Issy_Max »

Hi All,

Searching for South West based female groups or solo riders that ride classics/custom build/cafe racer
If there isn't a meet or group already I would like to start one.

Hi Issy, nice looking bike!

There aren't a great many lady bikers on SWB, but you never know who'll see your post here - good luck in starting your group, and happy biking :)

Hi Issy

We spoke on Facebook. Glad that you decided to join us sure you will make friends with others in here.

Smiler you may wish to mention that actually you are one of the female riders on this forum :-h all be it on a Superbike rather then a classic cafe racer.

It’s not all men on here honest.

Well i have a 1980 Z650 but am the wrong gender i am afraid, Its sits along with 3x aircooled RD yams (1 in bits) 2x TDR250 yams (1 in bits again ) a Suzuki teapot (not Kettle unfortunately ) and a Honda 650 Vigor

Thank you, all. 🙂

Hoping to create a sw group for women which will focus on custom culture, shared adventure and activities. I feel like there is a gap where an empowering group of women can come together to ride, build or exchange mechanical knowledge and engage in rides and activities which go beyond the usual rides or meets. 🙂

Interesting, I presume that it's a B model with aftermarket cast wheels (single front disc and drum rear are the giveaways) but I can't recall whether the B had the caliper in front of the fork leg or not, and the RH leg has caliper lugs too... Being a V-plate and with painted engine cases it is of the C3 era.... something of a bitsa perhaps...?
