San Francisco's All-Lady Motorcycle Gang
Hot Rides is a group of badass babes who like 'smoky, loud, fast, two-wheeled things' but were tired of riding bitch, so they bought their own bikes and hit the streets of California together.

Instead of putting the squirrel down, Danielle adopted it and nursed it back to health. Now they go everywhere together. The squirrel's name is Hazelnut, she likes peanut butter, and her leash is made of braided hemp.
