First, more and more women are becoming riders. More women are accompanying their husbands, boyfriends, family member when they shop for a motorized “toy.”

I agree with you 100%! Thank you for making business owners aware. I do believe it would help a lot of businesses, not just retail, but anything where women are becomming more involved.
