This here is Bessie B Stringfield. She rode her Harley through the segregated south and when she was unable to find a place to sleep she'd just put her leather jacket on the bars and her feet on the rear fender. Her life is pretty interesting- more info here
and these ladies are Adeline and Augusta Van Buren. Read this -I'm horrible at relaying stories it's better that I just cut and paste the link for you to read.
Here's some cool old Indians for you to drool over.. I wonder how awkward these are to ride? I prob couldn't even lift one up. I had a hard time lifting my '69 Honda and that was only a cb175 HA! Plus it's been such a long time since i've ridden a real bike, the last time I rode a bike was Chris' mini pit bike. I just like old things-old cars, old bikes, old men (like 80) old houses, old--you get the point.

what interesting stories :)
loved this...
You could learn to ride one of those 1915 Indians, no problem. The hard part is just getting them moving. Once you slide into third gear, it will almost ride itself. ;)
