The Project

Bikeberufene (Motorcycalled) is a book project that portrays women in technical careers behind the scenes of motorcycle racing and in motorcycle development. Female mechanics, female engineers, female designers ...

It traces their individual paths, reveals their successes, talents and values, but also obstacles and setbacks in their profession. 

However, the women were not interviewed simply because they are women. This book portrays pros and personalities from all over the world.

This book is a source of inspiration for everyone.

It is aimed at anyone who is willing to listen to their inner voice and then has the courage to follow it at full throttle.

The project was launched in July 2023. The interview phase  finished end of 2024. The actual writing of the book is ongiong. The publication is planned for end-2025 - in German. The English Version will be the second step. Further languages, such as French, Italian and Spanish are planned.

The book will consist of four types of chapters:

• Live reports from the racetrack written very directly, like a live broadcast from the racetrack
• Short biographies for each woman, highlighting the individual story
• Chapters on key topics from all interviews such as passion, risk, family, training... underpinned with many quotes from the interviews
• Info boxes on background and specialized knowledge about the motorbike industry scattered throughout the book
