Honda UK is supporting International Women's Day this Sunday 8th March by urging more females to take advantage of the independence, convenience and fun that riding a motorcycle brings and 'give it a go'.
Motorcycling is no longer seen as an all-male pursuit and statistics show that of the 1.5 million active riders across the UK, 20 per cent of these are now women , with the number of females taking their CBT and full motorcycle test increasing year on year.
Jenny Tinmouth, a 30-year-old motorcycle racer from Ellesmere Port on Merseyside is one of them. She rides a Honda CBR600RR in the ultra-competitive British Supersport Championship and will embark upon her first Isle of Man TT race this summer.
Jenny commented, "What I love about motorcycling is the pure grin-factor and the sheer fun of it. And it's certainly not all about racing. I have a road bike licence and the sense of freedom, independence and also convenience you get from riding a bike is fantastic. Whether you're riding a smaller 125cc scooter, a bigger sports bike, are out and about touring or even just being a pillion sitting back relaxing and taking in the scenery, the whole experience is truly amazing. Every girl I know who rides bikes says the same and I would recommend it to anyone, as it would be great to see more girls out there on two wheels. There's nothing to beat it!"
International Women's Day was first marked in 1911 in Europe and, has since spread across the world to celebrate the achievements of women past, present and future. In more than a dozen countries internationally, the day is celebrated as a national holiday.
