Just in time for this weekend's big rally in Sturgis, the only Victoria's Secret Angel with a Harley explains the mystique behind riding a bike -- with or without a man -- for those of us not exactly contemplating the flag tattoo or bandana look. She is, as usual, very convincing. 1. The Sex Appeal
A man on a motorcycle turns me on because a man on a motorcycle is automatically bad -- a little bit tough, a little bit rugged -- and, for pretty much any woman, automatically hot.
2. The Leather Jacket
Leather and motorcycles go hand and hand, and nothing -- nothing -- is sexier to us than a leather jacket. Even if you don't know how to ride yet.
3. The Throbbing Engine
That sound a bike makes starting up? Makes me feel alive. It gets me revved up -- gets your heart pumping -- like hearing a good rock song.
4. The Freedom of the Road
A woman likes a sense of adventure, especially when it's spontaneous. And there's something about getting out there on the road -- on front, on back, whatever -- that lets you see your surroundings in a whole new way. A woman likes endless possibilities.
5. The Forbidden Drive
Girls aren't supposed to ride motorcycles, and I love breaking stereotypes. Just seeing my Harley-Davidson Nightster in my garage feels like I have an escape vehicle -- an automatic sense of empowerment and control, and my outlet to break free. Doing a burnout? Let's just say women like to push themselves, too.
