What do sociologists have to say?

There's no denying the adrenaline rush that comes from a motorcycle ride. This thrill, this exhilaration, stimulates the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure and satisfaction. This biochemical reaction partially explains the sheer joy many riders experience. . .

There is a cultural stereotype that views motorcycling as a male-dominated activity. This can make it difficult for women to feel welcome and encouraged to participate.
