My name is Stephanie Bertsos (AKA Baby Biker). I just turned 20, and I live in sunny, ride-all-year-round Hudson, Florida. I work in the offices of Ride Like A Pro, which created the Ride Like a Pro Instructional DVDs. After working here for a few months, I decided I wanted to ride a motorcycle for myself.

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.

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.
