Fearless Women and Their Motorcycles Throughout History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Corinna Mantlo, the founder of the all-female motorcycle club The Miss-Fires, takes us on a wild ride through the history of women in motorcycling. She’s sharing stories of ladies who blazed their own trails, like the Van Buren sisters-Augusta and Adeline-who rode motorcycles from Brooklyn to San Francisco in 1916 to prove a point, and the legendary trick rider Samantha Morgan. Mantlo also takes us on a road trip to meet Becky Brown, who founded the women’s motorcycle club, Women in the Wind, in 1976. Let’s roll.

My wife is an avid rider and i love to go on long rides with her.

*Love & Support from India to Women Riders across all boundaries from all walks of Life* 🇮🇳❤
thank you!
Im friends with Corinna ... she's amazing and so happy you guys are shining on her and the Missfires.
My mum's boss was the first British woman to ride solo around the world
@Mr. White from ship to ship 🤔
So what?
Always have huge respect for lady bikers, awesomeee!!

Same:)
You should meet our Emak-Emak with their matic in Indonesia 🤣
Ah, the irony of a video talking about freedom and independence while sponsored by a credit-card.
Lol
well. My full time job is owning my own shop making custom motorcycle seats and traveling with the wall of death. I work 7 days a week and lift 30,000 lbs of wall every single week. I have the freedom that any independent contractor has (ha!). The one freedom I do have is that I do what I love, I get to see the country while I travel over 1000 miles every two days, every week by motorcycle for my job and yes, I also have the freedom to take a paying gig once in a blue moon to tell my story on film. I WISH I was sponsored by a credit card company for the gas I buy every day, or the marriot for the hotels I never stay in. haha! Give the American Wall Of Death a look online to see the history and the hard work these guys put into it and why I chose to devote my time to carrying on their tradition. have a great day!

Never mess with a women who rides a bike is what I get to know from this video. Nope I was joking awesome to know it that women to love bikes and they ride it too. My salute to the brave women.
nice, respect
Yeah!! Ride on Ladies!
Thanks. The only beef I have with this episode is that it was too short. Although the tone that was set of finding other women riders appears as if it is easily possible. That's not how it is everywhere.
GO GIRLS 💙 LOVE U ALL
I HAVE A ROYAL ENFIELD 89
Namaste India
The Wall of Death, in Indonesia we called it "Tong Setan".
There is an amazing woman wall rider in Indonesia called Princess Tong Setan. Give her a follow!
I'm going to buy my self a Harley and ride it in the country when I'm 23...
Why a Harley? (legit question)
I love motorcycles
There is that youtube chanel: "onherbike"
And the 'Itchyboots' lady touring the world!
I think to call these women “fearless” is a bit of an insult to women who really show bravery or beat the odds. If “celebrating” women for minor things like riding a bike is the angle here is it surprising you’ll get push back in the comments? Why not feature truly brave women? Example: Rose Namajunas the UFC fighter who battled mental health issues to become a champion, or female astronauts? These are people worthy of admiration.
personally I find the fearless comment stupid. nothing I said in my interviews on or off camera imply fearless. I work my butt off every day to get better at riding (on and off the wall). I'm scared and insecure every day. But i'm not giving up! - Corinna
"Fearless" is something news and documentaries love to say, but it's never true. But the point is usually that this is a group of people facing fears and moving through them. While it's not as bad as 1916 when the Van Buren sisters were literally arrested just for wearing motorcycle protective gear because it was "men's clothes," there is still a lot of negative judgement towards women who ride motorcycles. There is pressure for women not to enjoy what they want to enjoy. Also, motorcycles are definitely something that requires you to work through your fear to get in to, no matter who you are. Calling out a story for not being some other story is ridiculous.
How about men going over 150 miles on a circuit...pushing the limits and risking their lives...... since its about women of course we are going to praise them.....women have been riding ,gamimg and doing other things for a quite a while and people still act surprised
They need constant praise. In everything...from "Silly boys, trucks are for girls" on the back of trucks. To "You just got passed by a girl" on a license plate. All while ignoring that it's not a big accomplishment if you're truly equal. They like the label of being equal, but don't like the lack of attention that comes from it. It's also an insult really...it's like saying "Normally women aren't good at this so it's surprising". Instead of just being a person, they need some form of praise or attention.
Nepal?? Really their r hardly 10 biker boys club,ladies uhh suprised
Don't forget Bessie Stringfield
Bessie Stringfield
legend.
That's right 👍
So They just made a motorcycle club . They are no "real riders" .no protective gear . They just a apreciate doing something together with other women . I can respect that. But please wear some gear
Thank you! Some didnt even wear helmets!
Give The Miss-Fires a look online. the club has 250 women across the country and tey ride and race in gear. I wear gear every day and I ride over 500 miles every day that I ride, which is every day off, every week to get to wall of death gigs, which are every weekend. ride mon/tues, build the wall wed/thurs, ride the wall fri/sat/sun, tear down sun night, reapeat.
For this closed course film shoot, yes I took my jacket and full face off.
Corinna
Stop gatekeeping.
@@Miss1932 Then you are stupid. Why pretend that riding with out proper gear is good, if you gear up every other time? What kind of joke is this?
xs_ fox thanks for calling me stupid! Hope you post that same comment on every single film of men riding in flannel shirts and brain buckets. I can direct you to thousands of those films online if you like. Have a great day!
Reminds me of boondocks "did you just congratulate me for knowing how to read?"
wat
@@error.418 He's saying that it's not a big accomplishment to ride a motorcycle and that by drawing attention to it...it's like congratulating someone on something as simple as reading. Get it?
@@teamhex But like... no one gets mad at someone for reading. People legit hate on motorcyclists, and motorcyclists legit hate on women motorcyclists. It's a much weirder world out there than people who learn to read.

This is so funny
I would love to ride a motorcycle
Women are called Fearless when they jump on a motorcycle but men are called stupid when they jump on a motorcycle. Does that make sense?
No, both are stupid.
nope!
There is plenty of hate against people riding motorcycles no matter how they identify. Also "fearless" is something news and documentaries love to say, but it's never true. But the point is usually that this is a group of people facing fears and moving through them. While it's not as bad as 1916 when the Van Buren sisters were literally arrested just for wearing motorcycle protective gear because it was "men's clothes," there is still a lot of negative judgement towards women who ride motorcycles. There is pressure for women not to enjoy what they want to enjoy.
I want one so bad. How do you learn to ride? Just try and fall?
motorcycle safety school. it is available in every city and state. They provide the bike and gear. It's a great weekend class! I have been riding for 20 years and recommend it to all new riders. good luck!
Take a class. It's important to understand the physics behind riding before you attempt it. That and the clutch seem to be the biggest hang up for people. When I took the class we had a woman that had never ridden, and a guy that showed up with a 30k bike saying he had been riding for 20 years. The guy with the 30k bike dropped his bike during the emergency braking part. The woman had issues with the clutch, but by the end of the 2 day class she was a better rider than that old dude with money.
They had teams in nepal I am from there and I don’t know
Play with ARJ me too
Same punch bro🙃🙃
As of 9/26/19 there were 44 moronic males and maybe a few brainwashed females who voted thumbs down. Why?
Why would anybody vote negative on this short inspirational clip?
I just don't get that, and am glad I never will. Ride on girls! 🍻👍🏻
I think most men are super supportive, but a few do feel threaten, hence the dislikes.(ofcourse every women that I have encountered have been supportive). My opinion only. You are awesome for your support women riders👍.
@@emilyk-m9z Thank you Em, I appreciate that and take it to heart.
In case you missed it I have one word for people who would find it in any way negative to vote thumbs down: Pussies
That's what I think of them anyway. No offense meant in posting this, but I'm still winding down from having to toast the first reply above yours...
You made my day! And for that I am grateful and thankful for the words you wrote to me....
Have a glorious weekend!👍🏻😉😎
@@CaseyFinSF I thought the comment above was little negative also. So I had to comment 👍 for you.
@@emilyk-m9z Your a doll! Much love to you and yours.... made my night now too! I feel kinda.. hey, wait, what is this...? Oh yeah, I remember now... I'm blushing... hehehe. Been a while.... 🙄😏🍻👍🏻
Dress for the slide, not the ride. Doesn't matter who you are, promoting unnecessary harm to yourself in the case of a crash isn't smart in any way.
Got ya 🎉
Me: to afraid to step on skateboard
There are a lot of black women riding before you were born that no one talks about. Some people didn't like it when a woman rode.
And yet nobody gave a single shit about those that didn't want it because the hobby of motorcycle riding is not gender-specific. LOL anybody can ride a horse. Anybody can ski. Anybody can skydive. Anybody can do fishing and anybody can ride motorcycles. LOL
250 across the US!? Wow. Big numbers :)
Born to be wild! Hot! 👊😎
I ride on Hagrids motorcycle!
How are they fearless? Confused
I'm terrified every day of my life hahaha! no idea who wrote the copy for this...ha! - Corinna

Hi
U should do a vid on fearless men who fought in the Vietnam War
There are plenty of those already...
@@error.418 so?
@@eluclid So why is this a response to this video?
@@error.418 idk
Women biker gangs, sounds like the beginning of a 70's sexploitation film
that's a shitty take
It bothers me to see NON of them with all gear. Some even without Helmets! 💀 At least in Europe most are smart enough to protect at least their brain, hands and feet from impact! Not wearing gear is not smart, brave or cool. Its fucking dangerous!
Fearless is not a good quality. Fear is what makes us not doing dangerous things like driving a motorcycle. Gender does not matter if you are dead.
No one was all geared up. Some even without helmets 😱
I could not agree more. Being fearless is NOT how daredevils are made.
"Fearless" is something news and documentaries love to say, but it's never true. But the point is usually that this is a group of people facing fears and moving through them. Saying they're "fearless" is an oversimplification. There is nothing wrong with riding motorcycles.
If choosing not to be "Fearless" means missing out on all the dun and thrilling things in life, then what's the point? Anyone can get on a motorcycle and be perfectly safe about it. My bike is my escape from everything that stresses me out. It's my therapy and I'd be very bummed if I didn't have it.
Probably smells like perfume as they ride by in a group.
Fearless Men and Their Motorcycles Throughout History
don't think many of them are fearless. but the long list of inspirational men and their motorcycles throughout history are my heros and my friends!
Nah, dude, these are women. "Fearless" is something news and documentaries love to say, but it's never true. But the point is usually that this is a group of people facing fears and moving through them. Saying they're "fearless" is an oversimplification. It's still a great piece of history and modern story that is being shared in this video.
At about the same time back in the 1900s when some of the first motor bikes were invented, there were as many pioneering female motorcycle riders is there were men. Several women rode them cross-country while others who were serving in the military, used them to transport goods from one Basecamp to the next. There's as much of a historic Legacy with female Riders as there are male ones. So, try not to over glorify yourselves too much. LOL
Hello! Boy! I do ride a bike! I am only 15
Oh okay
This channel has lost touch with its subscribers
BBB what’s content do you want?
Women drives motorcycle into Kermit the frogs face!
wat
Damn it, it’s just a VISA commercial.
hahahah...yea. well it's my life, but they did come hang out for a day ;)
Forcing these feministic videos through the production line definitely doesn't make women look any better...
I found an incel in the wild!!! Hey can you hold still so i can take a picture 📸📸📸📸📸
speak for yourself
It should be a law that you cant talk about feminism unless a female has ever touched your ding dong. It would really cut back on dumb comments like this
You're the kind of person who makes women look better, the reason this is so newsworthy is because of people like you.
Admiral Ackbar lol I was just about to say the same thing
Good thing the world needs organ donors.
and I am a registered one! :)
@@Miss1932 I appreciate you responding to a lot of bullshit comments with positivity
@@error.418 and I appreciate that comment! thank you. It's easy to cut people down when you don't have to look them in the face. the number of negative comments compared to views is the a happy reminder that most people are not this way. have a great day, and thank you again!
They're probably delivering sandwiches
"What are you someone that makes sandwiches or something? ..."
cinemeccanica.wordpress.com/2013/09/05/the-wild-one/
Haha, first rule of thumb with us lady bikers: Any sandwiches that are stashed on board our motorcycles are for *us* to eat.
Nice SJW content. Not.
I'm sure you post this comment on every video that's titled _fearless men_ and _amazing men_ just to not be a hypocrite and have double standards right?
first?
You are !!!
They are not fearless in any way😂
not in the slightest. scared every damn day but I work hard to continue to get better at what I've chosen to do. not sure who wrote the copy. hahaha

@@error.418 I don't understand why females still receive so much flak for being into motorcycles. Especially where women owning and riding their own motorcycles has been going on since some of the first motor bikes were invented back in the 1900s. And when that happened, they weren't designed to be exclusive to any one gender. They were built and suited for the ladies every bit as much as they were for the guys.

Probosis 🐒 do you service your Harley with a woman mechanic
well mine's a triumph. I am proud to know two female run shops in my home town of NYC along with 3 great male run shops. I support as many local businesses as I can at home and on the road. I also do as much maintenance and repairs myself as needed on the road to avoid having to end up at a shop with larger/avoidable mechanical issues. Doing thousands of miles every month traveling with the wall through all weather conditions. oil changes, chain maintenance, etc are regular routine necessities to keep my only mode of transportation running. We have over 15,000 miles on the bikes so far this season. - corinna @miss1932
