When riding I am me. I no longer have to be mom, housekeeper or anything else. There is nobody in the back seat fighting about music or anything at all. It is MY time to enjoy.

Because I enjoy all aspects of it. Riding, cleaning, modifying, servicing, the taste of bugs, all of it. I have always been into mechanical things. But most of all it makes me smile the whole time on her.

My dad started me touring in '79. He said that the next best thing to cumming was flying a jet 600mph straight up through the clouds. The next best thing to flying was riding a motorcycle.
