There’s nothing quite like the feeling of twisting the throttle, hearing the engine roar, and hitting the open road. For many women, that first ride is more than just a moment—it’s the beginning of a lifelong passion. Whether on a motorcycle, dirt bike, or racing kart, every rider has a story about the thrill, freedom, and empowerment that comes with riding.
We asked women from different backgrounds to share their “first ride” experiences—what got them into riding, how it changed their lives, and why they can’t imagine life without it.
From Passenger to Pilot: Elena’s Story
“I used to ride on the back of my boyfriend’s bike, but something about it felt incomplete. I wanted to be in control. So, I signed up for a beginner’s rider course, and the moment I rolled onto the practice lot, I knew I had found my thing. The independence, the power, the way the bike responded to my touch—it was exhilarating. I bought my first bike, a Honda Rebel 500, two weeks after passing my test. I’ve never looked back.”
Lesson Learned: If you’re thinking about riding, don’t wait for someone else to take you—take yourself.
Breaking Barriers in Motorsports: Jasmin’s First Track Day
“I grew up obsessed with motorsports but didn’t see many women like me on the track. One day, I found a local group hosting a women’s-only track day. I signed up, rented a suit, and showed up feeling nervous but excited. That day changed my life. Not only did I discover my own racing potential, but I also met a community of women who supported and challenged each other to push our limits. Now, I race competitively in amateur circuits, and I always encourage other women to give it a shot.”
Lesson Learned: There’s always a first time for everyone—show up, try it, and let the adrenaline take over.
From Scooter to Sportbike: Maddy’s Journey
“I started on a Vespa. It was cute, fun, and easy to ride around the city. But then, I saw a group of women on sportbikes at a red light, and I thought, ‘I need to do that.’ A year later, I took the plunge and got my motorcycle license. My first real ride on a Kawasaki Ninja 400 was terrifying but also empowering—I felt like I was flying. Now, riding is my therapy, my adventure, and my freedom all in one.”
Lesson Learned: Everyone starts somewhere, and upgrading is always an option when you’re ready.
