Short Sheroes

This is my attempt at calling out some of my very, very favorite Short Sheroes who have motivated and/or inspired me to ride my very best. They’ve all overcome their height and learned to ride even better than most taller riders.

They are all riding outside the norm, attacking taller motorcycles with ease and skill. These are listed in no particular order.
