About the only female Commando riders I know of are Suzi Greenway of the International Norton Owners Association (INOA) and Miss Maria Costello who just podiumed at the Isle of Mann this year for her second time. For those interested or do not already know, fromWikipedia:

Costello was the first woman (solo racer) in the history of the Isle of Man motorcycle races to stand on the podium when she took third place in the Ultra Lightweight category of the 2005 Manx Grand Prix. Riding an RLR Motorsports Honda RVF400, Costello became the first woman to take a podium finish in either a TT or Manx GP.

For a while, Maria held the female lap record on the Isle of Man - a real pro and all around great person.

I bring up Maria as she raced (and kicked ass on) a Seeley Mk2 Commando (built and prepared by Kenny Cummings of NYC Norton) at Barber Vintage Motorcycle Days a few years back.

I doubt Maria has time or interest for this forum and I don't know about Suzi's participation in this forum.

It would be good to see a show of hands though of female Commando riders on this forum.

What about Debbie? She used to be an active member here, and I believe still owns a Commando.

Yes, therefore I think it would be better if the ladies were to respond themselves if they wish to do so.

A young Dutch girl turned up at Ballugh Bridge to watch the Classic TT the other day on a nice looking 750 slightly caffed Roadster.

Yes, but the thread is about 'how many female Commando riders use this forum', so gentlemen, no more 'observations' or names put forward please.

Thanks.

I'm still here, still have the Nortons (a 750 and an 850), still riding them. Not posting much on the forum these days.

Back to lurking...
