When asked about women bikers, Hanis explained that women as just as powerful as men when it comes to motorcycling (and sometimes tougher too, like Anita Yusof). When as further about the ride, Hanis explained “Moto & Gincu will be able to show the public that women can ride motorcycles too. We’ll show people that we don’t need to depend on our men to help us with our motorcycles. We’re just fine on our own.”

As we all know, the International Women’s Day falls on 8 March 2017 but the ride is scheduled to be earlier in the weekend as the actual date falls in the middle of the week. By organising the ride on a Saturday, more women will have the chance to join in and contribute to this historic occasion.

For the all-women ride happening tomorrow, the organisers are expecting over 100 riders to participate. To ensure safety during the journey, police outriders will guide the way to make sure that there will be no issues or traffic incidents.
