My First Gear

Happy #MotoMonday Everyone! Thank you all for the follows and warm reception of @motomusegear on our Social Media Channels. Seeing as this is the beginning of Moto Muse, I thought I’d share a bit about my beginnings. 10 years ago, I decided I wanted to stop riding on the back of my friends motorcycles, and actually learn to ride myself. So I went to my local motorcycle shop and bought my first set of gear. California law only requires you wear a helmet, but thankfully I was already surrounded by a community of riders that encouraged always wearing gear, no matter how hot it got. I fell in love with my Scorpion helmet and leather jacket. In my naivety, I purchased a pair of motocross Fox gloves, as opposed to street gloves. I also picked up a pair of Icon wedge boots, that the guys gave me a hard time about, however they ended up being the perfect starting boot for me! See, I’m only 5’ 1”, so reaching the ground and balancing a bike was a bit intimidating at first. Having a wedge boot allowed me to be up on my toes, yet still feel a solid connection with the road when stopped. You may notice I’m not wearing protective pants. When I was shopping, the store only had one style of women’s motorcycle pants in stock, and they were not in my size. It would be about a year before I finally tracked down a pair of riding pants I liked that also fit. While I was so incredibly excited to learn to ride, I couldn’t help but feel let down by the selection of gear for women. It was the planting of a seed that would eventually grow and inspire me to launch Moto Muse. 🏍

The Beginning

Hi, I’m Hannah, lady rider, fashion designer and leather crafter. Today I’m excited to announce the soft launch of Moto Muse!!! This company has been a dream of mine for almost a decade and I’m excited to see it become a reality. The motorcycle community is so near and dear to my heart. Since my wheels first hit the pavement, I’ve felt so welcomed, and I love that no matter who you are, or what you ride, you are a part of this family. I am unbelievably grateful to know so many incredible ladies who share a passion for riding, and who lift up and encourage each other at every turn. My dream is to make this a brand that’s about more than just the products we sell: I want Moto Muse to continue to pay forward the kindness and support I’ve felt from this amazing community by lifting up my sister riders, and embracing the elegance we bring to the road!

Moto News

Welcome to our soft launch of Moto Muse! My name is Hannah, I am a lady rider and the Founder of Moto Muse! I’ve been riding for almost 10 years, but I’ve been a lover of motorcycles for a lifetime. I have so enjoyed the acceptance of the motorcycle community, as well as the support, encouragement and scenery! As a female rider I have found it especially exciting to see how women have come together over motorcycles in ways that I’ve never seen in any other hobby or industry. I created Moto Muse as my way of lifting up women who ride and giving back to the community. While we are starting with t-shirts and apparel, it is my dream, and the goal of Moto Muse, to design motorcycle gear for women. We have so many exciting things planned, and hope you’ll join us on this journey! Please check back for updates and follow us on social media! We aim to post every Monday, #MotoMonday!
