It all started in Tallahassee, Florida. The Rally in Tally was the catalyst for a small group of women who enjoyed riding their motorcycles to form a local chapter of Chrome Divas. Wanting to offer a non-stereotypical group of women riders, membership was deemed open to all women riders, bike brand or even ownership was not necessary. The primary goal is to give a new name for female bikers. Not an MC (Motorcycle Club) and not sporting colors, the Divas are a national female motorcycle organization.

Flourishing locally in its first year, the Tallahassee chapter led to chapters forming throughout Florida. By the end of the second year, chapters were forming all over the States and Canada. To reach out and meet other women riders, plan rides and get-togethers was a primary objective with community involvement an emphasis.

The Tallahassee Chapter found that many members were eager to participate in the community. The Breast Cancer Poker Run, now an annual event on the first Sunday in October, was the first event. Many other worthwhile events have been held and have led to meeting many wonderful people. Meeting those families whose lives they touch is reward enough. Breast cancer survivors, diabetic children, and our troops are just a few of those the Divas feel blessed to have met. As the organization and worthwhile causes grow, so do the number of lives they touch.

The Chrome Divas encourage all women who enjoy motorcycles to join. Each chapter is encouraged to hold or participate in community events. All chapters have numerous community events under their belts, which are chronicled on the chapter web sites. Fortunate they are, who have so many women combine their community work and love of motorcycles to give such a positive name to Chrome Divas.
