Find support
Find other motorcyclists, clubs, groups or associations that understand your journey in this and are willing to support you. Every
rider was a beginner, or wanted to upgrade to a bigger bike at some point in their riding experience.

Live it
The nay-saying may continue to be there in some form or degree. That's okay, doubt is a human element and cannot always be
completely erased. Make a decision anyway. Get your license or purchase that bike. You don't live it, until you make that decision.
You can do it, MFH believes you can.

Women in Motorcycle History
Avis & Effie Hotchkiss, a mother and daughter from New York,
wished to visit the 1915 World's Fair in San Francisco, California.
Their unorthodox mode of transportation was a three speed v-twin
Harley-Davidson motorcycle with sidecar, making them the first
women to cross the United States on a motorcycle.
The ride took two months to complete. Due to road conditions of
the time the total round trip was roughly 9000 miles from
Brooklyn, NY to San Francisco, and back to New York.
In 1917 Effie married Guy Johnston and they settled in Oregon.
Mother Avis also lived in their home. Guy died in 1946 and Effie's
mother Avis died in 1958. Effie had an older sister named Avis G.
and a younger brother named Everett.
Effie may have re-married and her death date is unknown.
