Dream bike:

I'd like one of each please. I really like to have a fun little sport tourer like the BMW 650 or the small Vstrom.

First ride:

I used to ride on the back of my Ex-husband's Kawasaki. Then I rode on the back of my present husband's bike. My first "real" ride was at the BRC with their school bikes.

Why you ride:

I decided I didn't want to be life's passive spectator anymore, I wanted to be an active participant (just like in that country western song: "I stirred my last batch of gravy").

Most memorable experience (or trip) on a motorcycle:

I used to live in Rapid City, South Dakota. We used to ride all over the Midwest (I rode as a passenger). Good times.

Favorite ride:

Any ride that ends with everyone safe and happy. If I don't freeze, that's even better.

Favorite road food:

I'm not picky. Chocolate is always appropriate.

What woman motorcyclist is your biker chick heroine:

All of the female motorcyclists who came before me. They had the ovaries to ride when it was socially unacceptable. God bless those sisters, it couldn't have been easy.

....Hero:

Any man strong enough to accept, encourage or even assist females to become the best riders they can be.
