“Being a Caramel Curve is about being a woman and loving to ride a motorcycle,” Ms. Beatty said. Even if the prospects pass those tests, they’ve still got to have their own bike; the Curves’ bikes range from $6,000 to $22,000. Ms. Beatty points out that a lot of women never get started riding because they are afraid of getting hurt. “People do fear for your safety,” Ms. Smith said with a laugh. (Asked why she’s called Quiet Storm, she responded: “Because I’m quiet,” and then said nothing else.)
