Hello one and all! I’m Sam from SeenThroughGlass I’ve teamed up with Shell VPower Nitro + to find others like me who, with their friends, are obsessed with vehicles.Today we’re in the United States of America to do something a little bit different – I’m going to go ride out with an all-female biker crew called the Hot Rides.

Lea
Just riding on the back of one and realising that I’m just this small entity in the world.I hopped on a motorcycle, learned, and from there on I’ve never ridden on the back.
Sam
Oh my God!
Lea
I know. This is actually my first bike –
Sam
That’s awesome.
Lea
A 1963 Vespa GL 150CC.Eventually it turned into a 1973 Yamaha RD 350.
Sam
Are you always likely to go vintage?
Lea
Yeah it’s always vintage, just the fact that there’s a sentimental value to me. This one right here is a BSA Law Department bike. This one is a ’67 Triumph C100.
Sam
So do you like that it’s quite raw and basic compared to the modern bikes?
Lea
I like that feeling, that feeling of one where the bike is telling me what to do, you know I’m winding it out, high RPMs kind of thing versus a speedometer telling me what to do, I can feel it, you know. That’s why I really love these bikes, especially old pre-’77 motorcycles.
Sam
Tell us about Hot Rides a bit more.
Lea
How it started was Facebook. My best friend and ex-roommate, her name was Katie Sue, she was like “Hey Lea should it be something where we invite boys and girls?”And I’m like “no, let’s just do girls for now, like, you know, let’s just get hollered at for a little bit – totally joking. Between the two of us we actually knew a lot of girls that were riding. That was eight years ago when there were not a lot of women riding.

Sam
Right, let’s go meet the other girls from Hot Rides. I feel like I’m wearing more denim than Justin Timberlake at a N*Sync concert. It may look like I’m crying but it’s the wind, I promise.
Lea
Ok.

It’s been this amazing journey of discovering things that I can do that I didn’t know I could do before.

Kateri
Even when I was riding a scooter which I did for many years I was always like “in my mind I’m a motorcycle chick but I’m just a lame scooter chick”. I was afraid of it so the process of learning was really cool because you could demystify something that belongs to someone else, you know what I mean?
Sam
Do you have any kind of dream rides?
Lea
The annual Normandy ride. Most of them are World War 2 enthusiasts but they go through the hills of Normandy.
Kateri
I was lucky enough to go to Morocco recently. We encountered this huge group of people on adventure touring bikes and they were doing the whole length of the country and back and so I think that would be amazing.
Sam
I guess it’s having girls like you two come and join groups like this where you get to meet different people.
Lea
Yeah that’s what Hot Rides is to me is it just opened up a lot more relationships that I hold dear.
Sam
Great to meet you thank you so much.
Kateri
Yeah.
Lea
Thanks for having me!
Sam
Thank you for having me!
