The ladies are shredding: The number of female motorcyclists has doubled since 2003, with women now accounting for 14 percent of all motorcycle owners, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council.
One of the biggest and most prestigious motorcycle schools in the state, Motorcycle Safety School (MSS), is owned by Brooklyn Heights resident Diane Howells.
“I grew up ski racing,” she told the Brooklyn Eagle. “I love speed, so it was an easy sell for me.”
