Rule #5 of building a blog following

A few blogs about blogging have lists of ways to get to 1,000,000 blog hits quickly-within a year, two years etc.

Well, one list that keeps getting referenced has what has become a bit of an inside joke:  Rule #5.  Rule #5 basically says any chance you get, post pictures of women.  Caption them, label them, do whatever it takes to drive clicks and links based on these pictures.

Well, there are a few issues with applying Rule #5 to this blog.  First, the intent of this blog and the full implementation of Rule #5 are incongruent.

Second, although my wife had her M1 endorsement before we even met, she currently doesn't ride, nor works on the bikes (she'd probably be better at it than me, btw.)  So not even pics of her hands turning wrenches will appear.

So how can I post tasteful pics to "exploit" Rule #5?  I'VE GOT IT!  I have gotten to know some Lady Riders of all types of motorcycles and can feature the growing impact of female riders in all aspects of motorcycling while being respectful/honoring the "Fairer and Gentler Sex".  And sometimes downright faster sex, as today's picture shows.  It's from a women's only trackday at Chuckwalla Valley Speedway that was also a fundraising event.  There is already a group of women racers out at Chuckwalla, so the organizers (especially MamaWalla, I'm sure) set up a FemmeWalla Track Day a few years ago-I think this was the third installation.  Here's the pic:

Probably one of the few times calling a woman "Fast" wouldn't get you slapped!
