This came up on another thread that Guzzi Gal posted.  I think it's worth of a separate thread.  Pretty cool pix with additional links.    Hey.....maybe someone's mom is in there.

 Seem to remember that the three ladies riding the Scott Flying Squirrels were all employees of the Scott Motorcycle CO.

 Got to meet Dot R in 1991 or so when the Motor Maids had their convention here , she was an amazing lady .

a few things to note:

Ellspeth Beard is coming to san francisco  on may 10th. she will be speaking at piston and chain on folsom st.  tix still available.  her newest book Lone Rider is a great (!) read. her website has lots of great pics.

the Overland Event comes to the UK on aug. 31st - sept. 2nd. There will be a few long distance women riders of note there: Rachel Lasham, Jacqui Furneaux and of course Ellspeth Beard. if you are on that side of the pond in late summer it is not to be missed.

lastly but certainly not least is a women's motorcycle tour company run by kerri dougherty.  Kerri and crew take groups of up to 7 women riders on tours that run the gamut from belize, to baja to norhtern california. check out: Motobird Adventures.

She passed away from some ailment that would be totally curable today.

I wasn't familiar with Ellspeth until this past week.  The BMWRA club publication had a very nice article about her, summarizing her round the world trip.  And I think that I'm really tough when I have gone on the road, done 500 mile days, stayed in motels, all the while knowing I'll be back home within a week and a few days.  Back to the comfort of the a/c and my bed.  These women really know how to rough it!
