Thank you for your interest in Women in the Wind and the Gulf Coast Tempests Chapter.  Women in the Wind was founded by Becky Brown in Toledo, Ohio in 1979 in order to educate women on motorcycle safety and maintenance, unite women motorcyclists and promote a positive image to the public of women on motorcycles. The Gulf Coast Tempests Chapter was formed in October 2011 and we became a fully chartered chapter of Women in the Wind on January 6, 2012. We will operate under the National bylaws of Women in the Wind as well as our own Chapter bylaws.  We are an active Member of the Texas Confederation of Clubs.

The members of the WITW-Gulf Coast Tempests Chapter are active, experienced riders who ride year round. The Chapter meets monthly and is primarily focused on the southeast side of Houston, although we have members from all over the city. We participate in a wide variety of rides, rallies and charitable events throughout the year.  We plan to support the Women in the Wind-Bayou City Sisters Chapter as well as motorcycle clubs/riding groups throughout the Houston area.

This site is for active WITW-Gulf Coast Tempests Chapter patch holders and those experienced women who are interested in becoming patch holders.  Friends of the Gulf Coast Tempests Chapter are also welcome to join the site.  Many rides will be indicated for patch holders only but occasionally we will have open rides anyone can attend.  For more information, please contact us.
