Greatest Biker Chicz in Motorcycle Industry

                                                                                
In April 2010, The Biker Chicz Blog  was created to present news, photos, comments and stories from the women Harley riders who are featured in "Biker Chicz of North America", a new book by Edward Winterhalder & Wil De Clercq that will be published in late 2010.
