How long have you been riding?

Thanks to my Dad, I started riding on a little pw50 as soon as I could ride a bicycle. I moved up on dirt bikes throughout my childhood, riding around my grandma’s farm or aunt’s house. I got by my first street bike about 4 years ago.

Why did you started riding?

I always loved to “give it the beans” (aka go fast) and just loved being on a bike. After my first child was born, I needed a hobby that could afford me some alone time. I didn’t have time to load up a dirt bike and haul it somewhere to ride, so a street bike made the most sense. I could pull out of the garage and just go cruise for 30 minutes on the backcountry roads or use it to commute to work.

How’s your experience been with Royal Enfield so far?

I loved the café racer and classic style of the Royal Enfield GT. I view the price point of the bikes, and the replacement parts as a great value, and easily achievable for anyone. More than the style or dollar signs, the brand is really what sets Royal Enfield apart for me. Royal Enfield appeals to everyone and every riding style – there is no stereotypical rider.

A little background about who you are & why you are so awesome.

I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, and currently live in a small town in Southern Wisconsin (Spotted Cow anyone?). In addition to being a full-time mom of two, I am also a full-time Fundraising Event Coordinator and part-time Bartender.

I joined the motorcycling community with a less than perfect old motorcycle, a cheap helmet, old mx gloves, and discount boots – but to me it was everything. Most of the motorcycling community welcomed me with open arms, and because of that, I was able to forge new friendships, and learn more about who I am as a person.

I want to encourage people to rock what you’ve got and be the change you want to see in the world.
