Motor Maids

Motor Maids is a women's motorcycle club in North America with over 1,300 members from the United States and Canada.

The objective of this group is to promote safe riding habits, meet new people and travel across North America.

Every year they travel around North America going to different events as a group including every July they have a Motor Maid convention.

The Motor Maids organization became very popular throughout the United States of America and president Dot Robinson and secretary Linda Dugeau were ecstatic with the movement they were creating.

[7] Linda Dugeau, born May 15, 1913, in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is present-day Motor Maids organization founder.

In 1932 at the age of 19 Linda learned how to ride a JD Harley-Davidson motorcycle and her boyfriend Bud, who would later become her husband, was the one to teach her.

In 1918 when Dot was about six years old her father moved the family to the United States in the hope of expanding his sidecar designing business.

Linda Dugeau and Dot Robinson met in 1940 at the Laconia national and within months the Motor Maids organization was in full motion.

The motorcyclist's image was always black with leather until Robinson changed the attire allowing women to continue to have their femininity.

The group participated in the Six-County Firemen Association's Convention-Mount Carmel, PA in 2010 wearing their signature white gloves which is a part of their uniforms since 1941.

The Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California was home base for the 2019 three-day event hosted by the Motor Maids district of California/Hawaii.

The Motor Maids hold these conventions to share stories, renew friendships, and conduct club business.

These conventions include a timed road run, self-guided tours of the area, and a parade of the Motor Maids through the community that is hosting the event that year.

White gloves were added in 1941 when Howard Foley went to the Motor Maids with the idea of parading at the Charity Newsies Race.
