I thought this documentary was extremely interesting and informative. It was completely different from all others I have seen. It gave me a great understanding of the depth to this industry and sport. I've recently been attracted to motorcycling and this film motivated me to reach that goal of learning to ride.

I would definitely recommend this to even the smallest enthusiast!

This documentary is very well done. Women new to motorcycling will find inspiration here. They did a great job of showing many of the different kinds of motorcyclists out there....made me want to try new things. I recommend this to everyone.

I had to wait several weeks because this item was on backorder and found myself counting down the days to get my hands on this highly rated documentary about women and our wonderful sport of motorcycling. It went in to the VCR as quickly as I could open the package and I sat disappointed from beginning to end. Why? Because I never felt like I was told the story of the two main women in it. Why did they get in to riding? What was the cause of that frightening accident depicted for one of them? Yes, we see small pieces of several different types of bikes and female riders but we are never really told their history. I thought this would be a film documenting the journey of these two riders showing a much more in depth account of where they were riding, what they were seeing and experiencing all along this journey. It felt disjointed to me. There was very little scenery or description of exactly where they were going and how they lived on the road as they went along. I love being a female rider and take great joy in riding with my local women's group as well as many men in my area too. I expected a great "road picture" full of more personal stories and details. I am not sorry to own it now. There are just no other videos out there that I have been able to find that make any attempt to try and do what these fellow riders attempted. Maybe this will inspire me to load up the video camera and try myself to do what I am sure was a difficult job not only to make, but get published and marketed. I want to share with others out there and for them to feel like they are taking that trip with me. Keep on riding sisters. Our numbers are growing and I am proud to be part of that group.
