Ladies Who Ride! Fran Dawson…

What do you ride?

I ride a 2013 Suzuki gsr 750.

How did you get into bikes?

I’ve always had a keen interest in bikes from being young. I remember my dad having one when I was younger but he didn’t have it for long. As I got older I always wanted to learn to ride but life and then having children got in the way. My husband learned to ride and I was pillion for a few years when I decided at 32 that then was the time to learn to ride for myself.

Where do you like to ride?

I love to ride my bike anywhere, but mainly along the East Yorkshire coast, places like Scarborough, Seaways, North Yorkshire moors and Castle Cafe at Withernsea. I work for a local motorbike garage called The Shed Motorcycle Service Centre as a service manager and in my spare time I am a roadside motorcycle photographer for Instagram’s @bikers_through_the_lens
