Comments on: The American Motorcycle Girls 1900 To 1950. http://www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/2009/07/14/the-american-motorcycle-girls-1900-to-1950/ World's Number One Source For Custom Motorcycle News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:13:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: ken magri http://www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/2009/07/14/the-american-motorcycle-girls-1900-to-1950/comment-page-1/#comment-104207 ken magri Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:36:41 +0000 http://www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/?p=15969#comment-104207 What strikes me is how much this book looks like a typical book on motorcycle history, except women are the riders and men stand in the background. It points out how much women riders have been left out of all the other books. A great addition to any collection, especially for the photos, and the text is both substantive and fun to read. I hope Cris publishes an inevitable companion to this for women who rode in the last half of the 20th century.
