Green flags in the moto scene —
what to look for

Not every space in the moto world is going to feel right. And that is okay. But when you find the good ones you will know. Here are the green flags I have personally experienced that told me I was exactly where I was supposed to be.

Photographers and videographers who don't gatekeep. I have asked other creatives about their rigs, their workflow, their editing process and without hesitation they are sending me apps, links and suggestions. No competition energy. Just people who want to see you win too. That is rare and it is worth holding onto.

Events that include the whole family. When an event has activities for the kids, demos to teach, and resources to hand out that is a mindful experience. It says this community sees you as a whole person not just a rider. Those are the events worth showing up to.

Women who are just as immersive in making memories. When other women take care of each other in a way that makes you feel included and you actually get to come home with memories and keepsakes that you will keep forever. That is the kind of energy that makes the moto world feel like home.

People who take safety seriously and want to bring you along. The ones who are ready to talk gear, where to get it, how to wear it and why it matters. Who can give you constructive criticism to keep you safe and knowledgeable on the road without making you feel small for not knowing. Those people are gold.

A seamless ride that just flows. My first all female HRH ride out showed me this firsthand. Despite limited Cardo communication the synchronized riding, the safe skills, the smooth flow of the group without pressure or ego — it was one of the most amazing feelings I have ever had on a bike. No chaos. Just women riding together like they had been doing it their whole lives.

Find your green flags. And when you do, hold on tight. 🌸
