My guest this week is Andrea of Andrea's Auto, the only female-owned auto repair shop on Martha's Vineyard. Andrea is what's known as a "wrench" and she shares with us her motorcycle story, as well as what led to her career as an auto mechanic. She is empowering a whole new generation of women to follow in her footsteps and she gives us some great tips on how to keep our motorcycles safe and running at peak performance. You don't want to miss this episode!

Hey there, I’m Linda, the creator and host of the podcast Sportbikegrrls.
Sportbikegrrls is THE podcast for women who are obsessed with sport bikes and all things motorcycle. Launched in January of 2022, the purpose and mission of my podcast are two-fold.
First, I want to share with you my personal moto journey, finally learning to ride at age 55 and achieving this long-held personal goal. I encourage women of all ages who also dream of learning to ride by offering them the support and the information they need to do so.
Also, I celebrate the women riders who are already out there blazing the way for the rest of us and I feature one fantastic guest each episode who tells their story to you. Whether they are track racers, entrepreneurs, moto gear designers, motovloggers, authors, industry insiders – they all have some amazing advice and inspiration to share with my listeners.
My guests have been a diverse group of riders whose lives have been transformed by their love of motorcycles. For example, author and industry insider Alisa Clickenger, BrittBraap, track rider and founder of BadAssHelmetBows, Cris Simmons, co-founder of Harley Woman magazine, Karan Andrea, founder & president of the Riveter Chapter of the AMCA, Jen Burch, passionate rider and co-founder of HighTail hair, and my upcoming guest 15-year-old racing phenom and the first professional female racer to win a MotoAmerica race, Kayla Yaakov, to name just a few.
The best part about Sportbikegrrls? You don’t have to be into motorcycles to enjoy these stories of female success and empowerment. I hope you’ll stay tuned!

My guest this week is Mandy, host of the podcast Tits and Torque. Mandy is a Harley girl from Kansas who has ridden since the age of 4! Like me, she loves sharing her love of motorcycles and inspiring other women to ride. Her podcast can be found on YouTube. You'll love hearing her story and all the great info and advice she has to share.

My guest today is rider and moto gear innovator Jen Burch, co-creator of Hightail Hair. This incredible product helps riders with long hair to not only stay safe while riding, but it keeps their hair tangle-free and looking fabulous once the ride is over. She has such a terrific story to share. Jen has ridden and owned motorcycles not only in the US, but in Japan and Australia as well. It was her own struggles with containing her long, fine hair that led to her creation of Hightail Hair. There may be some other similar products out there, but there is nothing like a Hightail, and we will tell you why.

In this episode I speak with Loren Turnbull, founder of Girl Moto Media. This media company is launching a global digital magazine for women riders around the world that will feature a terrific range of articles of interest to all women who ride. In addition to the ezine launching on July 31st, there will be several other ways that Girl Moto Media will provide content, including a podcast, YouTube channel, and other social media. But ultimately, Girl Moto Media is about creating community.
Loren is building an incredible resource for women riders worldwide and I am so excited to share both her personal riding story with you here today, but also talk about this remarkable undertaking that is going to bring incredible excitement and attention to the needs and interests of women in motorcycling around the globe. Please stayed tuned!
