The Wild One’s tour celebrates the courage and spirit of women motorcyclists’, inspiring others to explore without boundaries. This July, The Women's Moto Exhibit will ride on motorcycles through the Alps; starting in Austria, moving through Switzerland and ending in Italy. The journey will begin in Salzburg, Austria, travel through the breathtaking Grossglockner High Alpine, to Austria largest National Park, Hohe Tauern, through the hundreds of tight switchbacks of the Stelvio Pass. They will continue to the witch shaped mountain of The Matterhorn, ride in the skies of the Dolomites in Northern Italy and end their journey riding along the famous Romantic Road in the forest and mountains of Bavaria. Not only will the ladies visit historic landmarks and events, they will also meet and connect with communities of women motorcyclists along the way. Their goal is to inspire and share stories. Lanakila MacNaughton, photographer of The Women’s Moto Exhibit, will document the journey and share it with the world in real time. Lanakila’s work has been published in many media outlets, including Oprah Magazine, People, Huffington Post, and Elle Online. Her work has been seen as representing this new generation of women riders. The trip is Lanakila’s foray into European territory.

Adri Law, Los Angeles

Nearly three years ago was the first time I had ever been on a motorcycle. From then on I continued to ride on the back of friends bikes, taking photos and loving the feeling, but it always left me wanting more...

I remember so clearly the moment I saw two girls riding Sportsters through my neighborhood and realized that was IT. I learned how to ride and before I knew it had my very own gorgeous Candy Apple Red 1970 Honda CB350, her name was Ruby! She was the perfect first bike, and though temperamental, she was pretty alright at keeping up. A few months went by and I quickly outgrew my beloved 350. I needed something that could take me further, go just a bit faster, and quite frankly something that was a little more reliable. So here I am today with my trusty '99 1200 Sportster, which I'm on just about everyday. Although I've only been riding a short amount of time, I have formed amazing friendships, put in some good hours/miles, ridden through breath taking places, and I can't believe it's just the beginning !

Becky Goebel, Vancouver B.C.

My name is Becky Goebel and I’m 25 years old. I’m from the middle of the flatlands in Canada and I’ve been addicted to driving and riding things since I was a little brat. Growing up with a big biker family made it natural for me to get into bikes and extreme sports. When I was 17, I moved to Whistler, BC and got heavy into the snowboard community, focusing mostly on riding terrain park stuff like jumps and rails. I was a shredder for how old I was and really wanted to go big in the sport but found myself winding up in the hospital one too many times. 3 concussions, 2 broken arms, a broken ankle and to top it off, a severely crushed internal organ & my career was over. I spent a couple months in Southeast Asia then decided to move to Vancouver and get my Business Degree. It wasn’t until half way through school where I started seeing my motorcycle being more than just a form or getting to and from school. I screwed around on it in the trails, did stupid tricks for a camera and lane split around the freeways in California. I got addicted to riding my motorcycle and finally figured out that it was the snowboarding void that was being filled. Feeling that adrenaline and getting into your head, being alone in the middle of no where and looking around thinking “damn, this thing just got me here.” It’s all pretty similar. Motorcycling has taken me some rad places and introduced me to some cool people which is how I got into co-hosting the Dream Roll with Lanakila MacNaughton, starting my job at a women driven company called Born A Bad Seed, as well traveling around the world supporting cool companies and riding badass bikes. Not too sure where this stuff is going to take me next but whether it’s bikes, boards or business, I promise you’ll be seeing me around for the next little bit!

Liz Horton, Denver CO

I didn't grow up with or around motorcycles, so my first experiences came much later in life. I have, needless to say, always found myself uncontrollably drawn to them, the motorcycle lifestyle and the people who ride. I grew up in a family where travel and adventure were valued as much as anything... So it was really just a matter of time before I realized how to travel and have adventures in my own way. It wasn't until I moved back home to Colorado after living in Brooklyn, NY for five years, that I realized it was time. I signed up for a motorcycle safety and license enforcement class, and never looked back... My first bike, and still my finicky love, is my '83 Yamaha XS650 hardtail chopper. Keeping true to the style with nothing on it besides what you need to get down the road. Tulsa is a kickstart only that lacks gauges, mirrors, turn signals, or otherwise creature comforts. To me, she's perfect. 

For me, riding is so many things; it's meditation and a way for me to escape and connect with myself, it's this incredible sense of family and connection with the best community on the planet, it's fun forever with my best friends, it's getting lost and loving it, it's seeing the world without boundaries and it's beautiful. This will forever be my life and my passion and I am forever grateful everyday that I can be on two wheels.
