Where did you grow up and where do you currently reside?
I grew up in the small town of Odessa, TX and I currently reside in Las Vegas, Nevada.
How did you initially get involved with motorcycles?
I have always been into them since I was a little girl. My dad rode, so every time I heard a bike I was looking for my dad. In 2010 I got my motorcycle endorsement and rode all the time. A lot more than I ride now.
When did you get your first bike and what was it?
My first moto was a 2009 Softail Deluxe.
What do you currently ride and why?
I currently ride a 2001 Dyna Lowrider because its paid for lol. I recently sold my Road Glide so I could clear up all my debt and simplify my life.
What is your happiest memory that involves motorcycles?
My favorite memory that’s most recent is riding Glacier National Park. It was the most amazing park I have ever rode.
Another one was my first 1k in a day 2018. I rode my BMW R-nine T to Seattle Washington that was such a rad a ride all by myself. It was during a challenging time in my life and it really made me realize I can do anything by myself. I did it for me.
Outside of motorcycles, tell us a little about yourself?
Outside of motorcycling I enjoy doing anything outside - hiking, camping, off roading, and finding random swimming holes. If I‘m not on a motorcycle chances areI’m doing something random outside.
How have you become a more confident rider? Things you’ve done to help you gain confidence?
RIDING EVERYWHERE. And taking and attending any classes where I could learn different techniques to become a better rider. It didn’t matter the weather or where I had to go, I made myself ride there.
What is your dream trip/bucket list ride(s)?
My dream trip would be an international dual sport adventure experience with on and off road trails!
How do you think motorcycles have changed your life?
Before I started riding I was pretty wild. Motorcycles have definitely calmed me down and helped me refocus my energy. Instead of looking forward to nights out, I look forward to experiences on my motocycle!
Do you have any upcoming motorcycle trips/rides planned?
The next moto trip I am planing is to the Sin City Moto Girls Campout in Moapa.
