She has not merely stormed a male bastion but Alisha Abdullah has actually been racing past her male competitors on her 115 cc four-stroke bike.
This 17-year-old Chennai college girl is the only woman bike racer on the current circuit. She has had quite a few podium finishes in the UCAL Rolon Racing Championships in Chennai and Coimbatore.
Alisha is leaving for Malaysia shortly for a week's training under former racer Barry Leong, a prelude to her entry into the FIM Championships, to be held in Indonesia, Malaysia and China.

Racing runs in the Abdullah family. Alisha`s father was a seven time national motorbike champion.
The only speed breaker to this exciting career is the complete lack of sponsorship. But for now parental support is just about enough to help her chase her passion on her bike.
Yamaha, Hero Honda and TVS.. could you cut down on the fees of John, Dhoni and Hrithik by a wee bit and support this wonderful talent..?? Contribution from Bajaj would be welcome too.
Anybody game..??

YOU GO GIRL !!!!
Why cant TVS sponser her, it will definitely bring some female crowds to their Scootys at least.
But very encouraging to see that her parents are supporting her.
And also Thanks to IBN for featuring her
Who knows she might even lure a few more girls to "Motorcycles"..!!
