The Miss-Fires became a place for female riders to feel connected within a culture where riding alone or amongst a group of men seemed like the only options. The individual journeys these women have embarked on have allowed them to find their inner selves (Nolan says participating in The Miss-Fires has encouraged her to come out of her shell) and, naturally, their senses of style. "In real life, I don't wear pants, and I don't look good in pants," says Kat Thomsen, digital managing editor at Glamour magazine. "I wear a lot of '50s vintage dresses, crinolines, and heels. A lot of The Miss-Fires don't know that side of me, whereas my colleagues know a different side. I own more jeans [now] than I did before, but I only really wear them on the motorcycle." Romagnoli, too, admits her personal look has become more influenced by riding. "What I wear in the summer is dictated by my riding," she explains. "I have to wear long pants and boots. Also, now I only wear high-waisted jeans because I'm sitting down all the time."
