Your next two wheeled adventure starts here!
Whether you ride a sports bike, tourer, bobber or anything else, and whether you have only a few days or months to explore, we’re here to help you make the most of your time on the open road.
Feel free to choose from one of the options below, or read on to learn more about getting the most from your motorcycle and how I quit my job to tour Europe (yep, really!)
Motorcycle Touring Tips and Biker Girl Life
Motorcycling is a funny hobby. On one hand, it’s very inclusive- almost everyone can have a go and (with the right licence and budget) can buy a motorbike.
Yet there, the paths can diverge hugely. Some people buy a motorcycle for commuting, to beat the traffic or keep costs down. Some get addicted to the speed, and buy track or dirt bikes. Some prefer to take the slow road, and fall in love with classics or tourers. Some like to ride alone, others prefer to ride in groups. Some stay close to home, others ride around the world.
And some like a little bit of everything!
I firmly believe that being a ‘biker’ is something which applies to anyone who rides a motorcycle, no matter your age, gender or experience. And that’s one of the reasons I created Biker Girl Life- to share my experiences and adventures as a girl touring on a motorcycle, both as a pillion and as a rider.
I’ve explored over 15 countries and covered over 60,000 miles in the past 4 years alone. You can read more about the adventures here
However, since I started this motorcycle website, I realised the part of my story which resonates the most with people of all genders is how I went from nervous to confident rider (you can read more about that here.)
So I’ve expanded Biker Girl Life to include tips for new and nervous bikers, as well as motorcycle touring ideas and basic motorcycling knowledge for anyone new to biking. I hope you find it useful!
Hi there! I’m Kat
I never meant to buy a motorcycle. I spent 10+ years very happy as a pillion, touring through the UK and Europe.
And then my daughter grew up…
Suddenly, she wanted to come on our motorcycle tours- and I was faced with either getting my own motorbike or being left behind!
So I learned to ride- and realised it wasn’t as easy as I thought (if you’re a nervous rider, I know exactly how you feel!)
Thankfully, I was able to push through- and now one of my favourite things is to help other new riders gain confidence too.
If you enjoy road trips, you’re definitely in the right place!
