Just in time for this weekend’s big rally in Sturgis, the only Victoria’s Secret Angel with a Harley explains the mystique behind riding a bike — with or without a man — for those of us not exactly contemplating the flag tattoo or bandana look. She is, as usual, very convincing.
1. The Sex Appeal
A man on a motorcycle turns me on because a man on a motorcycle is automatically bad — a little bit tough, a little bit rugged — and, for pretty much any woman, automatically hot.
2. The Leather Jacket
Leather and motorcycles go hand and hand, and nothing — nothing — is sexier to us than a leather jacket. Even if you don’t know how to ride yet.
3. The Throbbing Engine
That sound a bike makes starting up? Makes me feel alive. It gets me revved up — gets your heart pumping — like hearing a good rock song.
4. The Freedom of the Road
A woman likes a sense of adventure, especially when it’s spontaneous. And there’s something about getting out there on the road — on front, on back, whatever — that lets you see your surroundings in a whole new way. A woman likes endless possibilities.
5. The Forbidden Drive
Girls aren’t supposed to ride motorcycles, and I love breaking stereotypes. Just seeing my Harley-Davidson Nightster in my garage feels like I have an escape vehicle — an automatic sense of empowerment and control, and my outlet to break free. Doing a burnout? Let’s just say women like to push themselves, too.
[Hopefully she did not do burnouts the first 6 months of her learning to ride].
