Get On: A Guide to Riding Motorcycles for Women Who Think Too Much

by Janet H. Green

Overview

Have you ever watched a woman riding her own motorcycle and thought, "I wonder if I could do that?" Has the question been nagging you for awhile, to the point where you really think you want to ride, but you don't know where to start or what questions to ask? If so, read "Get On: A Guide to Riding Motorcycles for Women Who Think Too Much." This is a book for women who want to learn as much as they can before they take the plunge in learning to ride. It's for women who take risks - calculated ones!

"Get On" is a sassy, no-B.S., sometimes humorous but always informative look at what it takes to be a woman who rides: what you need to get started, what kind of bikes you should be considering, what gear you need, what is the best way to learn, and strategies for staying safe.

Janet H. Green (aka Corn Dog) is a lifelong writer and a 12-year-veteran biker who has been blogging about her motorcycle adventures since 2004. If you want to ride, "Get On" with Corn Dog and do it!

About the Author

Janet Green's writing career began in 1970 at the age of 8 when she wrote the literary world's finest bird-themed mystery story, "View From the Birdhouse Porch."

She has since been a lifelong writer of everything from bad unpublished fiction to passable corporate communications and not-completely-hideous humor essays.

Her motorcycling adventures began much later, and with the advent of blogging she discovered an outlet for combining both riding and writing. She has been blogging since 2004 at www.bikerchicknews.com. She admits to sometimes going for a ride just so she will have something to blog about.

Janet's addictive personality is super-helpful in pursuing other favorite hobbies, too, such as Internet empire-building, consuming Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and collecting dead relatives or vintage dinnerware.

She has a professional background in marketing and corporate communications, and through a series of odd twists of fate, poor decision-making, and finally happy accident, she now works in the senior living industry helping independent retirees relocate into beautiful apartment homes.

She has published articles in various motorcycle magazines including Throttler, Thunder Roads Iowa, and HOG Africa. She is also a contributor to the first edition of Age of Conversation, a multi-author book about the impact of social media.

When she's not riding her present bike – a 2010 Harley Davidson Super Glide Custom named Kitten – Janet's probably online, reading about some random topic such as the dietary preferences of the turkey vulture, and hanging out on Twitter (@Bikerchicknews).

Which is sad, because she has by all accounts a lovely family consisting of her husband Steve and daughter Stephanie.
