Kitty on the Tank is what happens when two longtime friends, two motorcycles, and absolutely zero interest in playing small collide.


Hosted by motorcyclists, adventurers, and storytellers Chantill Lopez and Gina Pelucca, Kitty on the Tank is a podcast for women riders, aspiring riders, and anyone craving more freedom, courage, connection, and joy.


We talk motorcycles.


We talk motorcycle travel, road trips, motorcycle gear, maintenance, riding skills, women's riding communities, epic adventures, and the incredible women redefining what it means to take up space on two wheels.


But this isn't really a motorcycle podcast.


It's a podcast about saying yes.


  • Yes to the thing that scares you.
  • Yes to the thing that calls you.
  • Yes to becoming more of who you are.


Every episode explores both the outer game and the inner game: the roads we travel, the risks we take, the stories we collect, and what all of it teaches us about courage, freedom, identity, friendship, resilience, grief, growth, and being fully alive.


Along the way, you'll find shenanigans, belly laughs, hard-earned lessons, badass guests, listener stories, and our favorite recurring segment: Helmet Comms Comedy Hour—where the ridiculous, hilarious, and unexpectedly profound conversations that happen while riding motorcycles get their moment in the spotlight.


We're fierce, kind, compassionate, and clear as fuck. Because clear is kind and we don't tiptoe around the things that matter.


Whether you're a seasoned rider, thinking about getting your motorcycle license, planning your next adventure, or simply looking for inspiration to live a bigger, bolder, more authentic life, there's a seat for you here.


Because motorcycles aren't the ultimate point.


They're the door.


So put your kitty on the tank, ladies.


Let’s get it.

  • Ep 9: This or That? No Shortage of Opinions Over Here!
    Oct 16 2026

    This or that…or…probably, most likely, both? It all depends on the moment, but these ladies — if you haven’t figured it out yet — don’t like to be pigeon-holed.


    In this episode of Kitty on the Tank, the gals dive into a fun round of this-or-that questions, exploring the little choices, preferences, and a plethora of opinions that make every ride an adventure of its own.


    From glitzy to grimey, to five-stars, sleeping under the stars, dive bars, to all the things in between, it's all on the table. Because when it comes to life on the road, what sounds like an easy choice can quickly turn into a passionate and hilarious debate. Sometimes there’s a clear winner, sometimes it’s a hard pass, and sometimes the answer is simply… both!


    The conversation also explores the things we tell ourselves and how our preferences can change depending on the day, the ride, and the company we keep. After all, what makes a ride fucking rad is rarely about the destination or doing what’s expected.


    And if you've ever wondered how the gals wrap up a long day in the saddle, here's a hint: as the final 45 minutes of a ride day approaches, someone is bound to start asking, “This or that?” It's become a tradition, a way to wind down, compare opinions, and squeeze a little more fun out of the miles.

    This episode also marks the second to last episode of Season One!


    But don't go too far!


    In Episode 10, Chantill and Gina will be together in New Orleans celebrating Gina's 50th birthday. And who knows? There might be a little Never Have I Ever in the mix AND a few impromptu guests. You. Never. Know.

  • Ep. 8 Motorcycles I Have Loved - Choosing the ride that’s right for you
    Oct 2 2026

    How do you choose the right motorcycle?


    In this episode, we’re reflecting on the motorcycles we’ve ridden, the things each bike has taught us, and just how much goes into finding the right ride.


    But motorcycles aren't just machines. They have style, vibes, histories, and communities attached to them. Motorcycling is tribal, and everyone is going to have an opinion about what you should ride — especially if you’re a woman. Recommendations can be helpful, but ultimately, you get to choose the bike that feels right for you.


    From beginner bikes to dream bikes, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The motorcycle that’s right for you depends on what - and how - you actually want to ride. Are you commuting? Cruising? Touring? Hitting the twisties? Exploring off-road? Being thoughtful about the kind of riding you want to do can make all the difference.


    We talk about some of the biggest factors that shape a bike choice, including power, weight, suspension, and riding position and, most importantly, whether the bike inspires confidence. Your experience level matters, too. Choosing a bike with power that matches where you are as a rider can help you build skills without getting in over your head.


    For new riders, we share some practical tips: test ride different bikes, learn basic maintenance, invest in good gear, be honest about your experience and goals, and spend time getting comfortable with your bike — even if that means practicing in an empty parking lot on a weekend.


    Every bike you ride teaches you something. What matters most is that you pay attention.


    This Episode's Listener Question:

    And if you’re trying to figure out what bike is right for you, reach out! We’d love to have a jam session and talk motorcycles with you.

  • Ep. 7 When Yes Isn’t Easy — A Women’s Moto Summit Recap
    Sep 11 2026

    Sometimes saying yes is easy.


    And sometimes, you say yes… and then you arrive and begin to wonder what the hell you’ve gotten yourself into.


    In Episode 7, Chantill and Gina are back from their ride to Canada for the Women’s Moto Summit — Chantill returning for her second year, and Gina experiencing it for the very first time.


    They talk about what it felt like to arrive this year compared to last, the warmth of being welcomed in, and the unexpected resistance they each carried with them through the door.


    Because sometimes resistance shows up even when you don’t want it to and when you’re not expecting it. And, thankfully — usually — it softens because when you’re surrounded by good people, sharing stories, laughing over a silly moment, throw yourself into wayward and wild dancing (haha — we do not lie), slapping stickers on things, you realize you’re not the only one who showed up with a little armor.


    They reflect on the moments that felt easy, the moments that didn’t, and the experiences that slowly created enough space for something to shift.


    They also share a few of their favorite pro moves for finding moments of grounding while traveling — those little things you can do on the road to get back into your body, back into the moment, and back to yourself.


    And because this is still Kitty on the Tank, they wrap up with one last road story: the tale of the finger wagger. Just wait till you hear this one.


    It’s a reflection about motorcycles, women, friendship, resistance, connection, and what can happen when we give ourselves permission to say yes — even when yes isn’t easy.


    This Episode's Listener Question:


    If the idea of “keep saying yes” resonates with you — those moments when you have to come back to your why, recommit, and stay open to receive the thing you’re wanting — we want to hear from you.
