Forum name:

Bluenose43

Why that name:

Being from Nova Scotia Canada, the "Bluenose" is a famous provincial fishing/racing schooner. So Nova Scotians are often called Bluenosers.

Current bikes:

2005 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic Silverado and a 2011 Can Am Spyder RTS (touring model)

Dream bike:

My Spyder, which I have, named Spidee

First ride:

A homemade scooter when I was 12 years old. I used to ride behind my older brothers on dirt bikes in local fields and roads. My first real bike was a Honda Shadow 500cc.

Why you ride:

I love the feeling of freedom, power and leaning into the curves. You can smell everything and have so much more visability.

Most memorable experience (or trip) on a motorcycle:

A trip through Arizona where we had to walk out bikes across a cement strip across a shallow river covered in algae and one bike fell over. Almost had heat stroke and lost a wallet with cash and credit cards. Very memorable trip!

Favorite ride:

The ever popular Hood Canal Loop. I still want to do the Beartooth Pass ride.

Favorite road food:

A great Hamburger and Fries and cold drink.

What woman motorcyclist is your biker chick heroine:

I admire Lois Pryce, from the book "Lois on the Loose"
