Super Mom

Your xbhp profile says

Kerala is a place where Supermoms like this one rides Harleys and drive Safaris..

Kerala is also a place where bikers like me plead their moms have a smile when they set off on bikes, and dream of a day when moms dare to ride pillion to them..

Today a woman driver banged me from behind with her crappy car!
Damn! am afraid!

Looks like our SuperMom isn't one of them to be afraid of. We must have her on xBhp. Somebody invite her..

awesome

Really nice to hear these type of courageous things...

This is so true. What have tattoos and hard looks got to do with the spirit of motorcycling? Absolutely nothing in my opinion. This deserves a thread of its own as I think this "I'm a biker I'm tough" image is getting a little stupid.

More Indian Women going for Harley...

More Indian Women going for Harley...

NEW DELHI: US iconic cult bike maker Harley Davidson seems to be making the right moves to woo Indian women. Within a month of having its first woman buyer in the country, it has added a second one and is eyeing many more.

Hyderabad-based 33-year-old architect Kasthuri Deodhar has become the second woman to own a Harley Davidson in India after Bangalore's HR professional Sheeja Mathews.

"I am sure many more ladies would love to ride a Harley. I really liked when so many people stared at me while I was riding the bike," Deodhar told PTI from Hyderabad on phone.

That's a comment that officials at Harley Davidson India love to hear.

"While we strongly believe Harley Davidson is more of a state of mind and it transcends gender and age, we see a tremendous potential with Indian women riders," Harley Davidson India, Director (Marketing) Sanjay Tripathi said.

He said it is a reflection of a changing India of the 21st century. "Even in the US, of all the bikes sold in 650 cc and above segment to women, Harley Davidson accounts for the highest number. This trend may also slowly come to India," Tripathi added.

Like Mathews, Deodhar has also been a bike enthusiast from childhood and it was not a surprise when she got the Harley-Davidson Iron 883, which is priced at Rs 6.5 lakh (ex-showroom) as a gift from her husband.

"We used to have a Yamaha Rajdoot 350 and before that we had (Bajaj) Eliminator and now the Iron, the best that one can ask for," Deodhar said.

While she uses a Hyundai i10 car to commute to her workplace, Deodhar said her latest possession has been reserved for weekend cruises.

I believe that a biker girl/ mother in her thirties doesn't have much choice anyways in India. Think about it- Will she ride a sportsbike and then maintain/ service it properly? Won't she get tired and fed up with the speed breakers and constant gear changing?
It's obvious that a Harley is the best bet. It's message is not about being flashy, but more about being philosophical and realizing the purpose of life, as obvious from the tattoos on most of the Harley owners.

However, it is worth noting that both these ladies have had RD 350, and also, they have reserved this bike for weekends' rides. I think Harley does a fine job as a high speed commuter too, so why would they want to enjoy it any one day only?
