If any of you viewers here in the U.S. or elsewhere are interested in starting a FSSF Chapter in your area or country, contact me and I will put you in touch with Lisa. It is an outstanding club and great camaraderie for the female bikers, biker wives and girlfriends out there that are interested in helping out those in need in your communities. Plus it puts a positive image out to the public about the females involved in motorcycles in the area.
