Women in Motorcycling Qualified as Judges?
At the Legends of the Motorcycle show in Half Moon Bay last weekend, I was dismayed at the complete lack of women judges. Seeing that this year's judges included a very wide variety of motorcycling types -- racers, innovators, manufacturers, dealers, restorers, publishers, and historians -- I thought that perhaps there might have been a few qualified women judges. Chief Judge was Ed Gilbertson. Others included Erik Buell, Oriol Bulto, Marty Dickerson, Bud Ekins, Mert Lawwill, Pierre Terblanche, Craig Vetter and Wayne Rainey, to name a few. Builders were Patrick Godet and George Beale, writers were Simon de Burton and Larry Williams, museum curators were Charles Falco and Mark Mederski.
Anybody have any ideas?
There are a LOT of qualified women out there to do these things... but let's face it... we are still the underdog to most. Maybe that's it... or the girls are just on vacation!?
