Default Supermodel Marisa Miller : Why Women Love Motorcycles So Much

Esquire Magazine Article

Why Women Love Motorcycles So Much

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 bandanna look. She is, as usual, very convincing.

By Marisa Miller



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.

I doubt she rides much. Her contract might even prohibit certain activities like motorcycling.
