Creating Community for Women Riders
Clint and myself meet virtually with Taylor Dressler – Owner of Fast Babes – who created a community-based initiative to empower women in motorcycling. Taylor shares her start in off-road riding that led to her various roles in the industry, including her role as a Marketing Specialist with Troy Lee Designs.

“I have a Sportster project that is never ending. I bought this two years ago with a vision that just changes like every six months. And I think one thing in the street riding space is a lot of people think that they need a super, you know, souped up, performance built bike, especially in the women’s space.
I think that there’s a lot of hate on the Sportsters. It’s like the girl bike, and I’m kind of leaning into that. And I want to make a performance sportster that kind of is like, ‘Yeah, it is a girl’s bike…’ But it’s also like kind of badass, because I have personally experienced a lot of women where they’ll make the comment like, ‘Oh, I could probably keep up with the group if I wasn’t on a Sportster or things like that.’
It’s not necessarily the bike all the time. It’s really like how you choose to do it and how comfortable you get on it. So I just, I chose that platform for that reason.”
