I've met some amazing women who ride. They're also beautiful, smart, highly intelligent and know how to work a one-piece leather suit. But here's a woman that I'd love to meet, if ever given the chance. Actually, I'm not even sure if she's still alive. But I'm hoping that she is. A very nice gentlemen forwarded me these photos of a woman by the name of Anke-Eve Goldmann. I don't know where lived, what she did, or where she rode. But I'm hoping to find out.
He mentions that she raced, rode year round in freezing winter temps in Europe and she valued her safety so much she made her own leathers! Look how fierce she looks on her Bmw.
