Over the last few years, more and more women have been riding into bike weeks and rallies than every before. Through the first three quarters of 2008 a survey found a 29 percent increase in the percentage of female owners, compared to 2003. That last survey found that 9.6 percent of owners were women. Over the first nine months of 2008, the number had grown to 12.4 percent. This is most likely the most substantial rider segment of growth in the findings which is logical if you compare the growth of women in other segments such as single home owners and business operators. The on-going phenomenon is do to the ever increasing line of motorcycles designed for women, and an endless line of accessories to please them. Ladies now have gear designed specifically for them, to be not just fashionable but protective also. Womens motorcycle jackets are far more advanced than the offerings even two years ago. Lady riders will continue to be a huge part of the ever growing motorcycle market.
