Two female big bike enthusiasts are embarking on a 2,005km ride across Malaysia tomorrow (May 25), to challenge stereotypes and demonstrate that motorbiking knows no gender boundaries.

Customer experience management head Nor Hasimah Nekmat, 51, and administrative executive Linda Suryani Ab Hamid, 45, plan to complete their journey – themed HER 2005km Ride – across 12 states in six days.
