Women in the Wind - Leather Angels Chapter Est. 2001
If you have found this site and you are a woman (or know some women ) who, like us, enjoys the freedom of "Ridin' her Own!", and are looking for other women to ride with then you've come to the right place. Leather Angels Chapter resides in (and around) Bartlesville, OK. We are a part of an ever growing organization of amazing women. Our Chapter is very diverse in lifestyles. We come from all walks of life and we ride all types of motorcycles. Some of us are single, some married some are mothers and professionals, But most of all we love to RIDE!
Spring has arrived... Below are tips on how get your bike ready for spring riding:
1. Check the air pressure in your tires. Your manual should have the proper air pressure for your tires.
Using the above tips will help get the new riding season off to a great start.
Motorcycle Hand Signals and Pointers While Riding in Groups
Point to tank: I need gas, stop at the next station
Point at ground: Careful, there's something on the road (Note that you aren't pointing at the hazard necessarily, as this might not be convenient)
Point at ground, rub fingers together - road is slippery
Flash brake lights very rapidly: Major watch out! Be prepared to stop QUICK
Point at sign: read the sign. If it's a highway sign with multiple exits listed, hold up the number of fingers corresponding to which exit you want (e.g. two fingers for the second exit listed)
Point at another rider, then pat leg: you want that rider to come alongside you (usually so you can talk)
Point at another rider, then point to side of road: pull over now
Arm out, palm back: stay behind me
Arm out, forward waving: go past me
Waving arm in quick downward motion, with palm down and parallel to ground: slow down! Often used for bikes traveling in the opposite direction to warn of hazard or police.
Point forward, shrug shoulders I don't know where we're going, I probably shouldn't be leading!
