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 started in July 2023. The interview phase was completed at the end of 2024. I finished the manuscript in July 2025 and sent it to Meyer & Meyer Verlag, who signed me up. The German version is scheduled for publication in April 2026. The English version will follow shortly afterwards. However, in order to reach the international audience, I would also like to publish the book in other languages, such as French, Italian and Spanish.
The book will consist of three 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
- Info boxes on background and specialized knowledge about the motorbike industry scattered throughout the book
