Ive chosen to ride a 2003 Harley-Davidson Police Road King for many reasons. First, I rode one in a training class and fell in love with the way that it handled. U-turns are a piece of cake, and the twisties are like dancing with the bike.

In April of 2006, I purchased a Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Low. In August of 2008, I upgraded to a 2008 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy. I am only 5 feet tall, so all bikes but the Harley-Davidson Nightster have to be modified for me.

The bike I choose to ride is a 2002 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider. I absolutely love it! Several years ago, I saw one and thought at that moment, “This is the bike for me.” She doesnt have all the bells and whistles, like a lot of chrome and such.

The press office steers me toward its Concours 14 supersport touring model instead of the smaller bike I had asked for. “Its the most comfortable bike youll ever ride,” Im told, and an hour later Im cruising Highway 5 wondering how 1352cc and 650 pounds could feel so … well, so darn light and nimble.

After taking the motorcycle safety training class, my girlfriend and I went out looking at bikes. Hondas, Suzukis, Yamahas—we saw lots of bikes. But she was steering me toward a Harley, so we went to the Harley dealer and I sat on a 2009 Nightster 1200. It just felt right.

The Honda Shadow was my dream bike from the day I set eyes on it at the International Motorcycle Show in New York City. I had considered other manufacturers and styles, and had been practicing on a Honda Rebel before taking the MSF course, but once I sat on the Aero I was convinced.

On October 3-5, Femmoto, an all-women demo day on the track, took place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This is the first year all the major manufacturers were represented, as well as some of the smaller ones, like Kymco and Triumph. This is one of the biggest outreach events for women riders in the motorcycle industry.
I own two motorcycles. The first one my husband and I purchased was a 2008 Harley-Davidson Nightster 1200. We bought this bike in May 2008 after I signed up to take the Riders Course, which I completed and passed in June 2008. I had never ridden a bike before this except on the back with my husband.
