Frances Sayre wasn’t always into motorcycles. She didn’t always have a motorcycle repair shop just off Siler Road. She wasn’t born to ride, as they say.
Instead, it was a contest about nine years ago that caught her eye. BMW was sponsoring it. It was called MotoFemina. The contest was aimed at women between 25 and 45, to see if they might like motorcycles.
To see if they were capable of riding them. To see if they could pass a series of tests, both on and off the road. To see if they could score a huge amount of points in the process.
Those with the highest number of points could win a BMW motorcycle. It was the perfect ad, doubling as a contest, aimed at the perfect age group. Sayre gave it a shot. She didn’t win, but she got hooked.
Since then, she hasn’t looked back. Rrrrrmmmmmmm.
