Favorite Track: Barber!

How did you get into motorcycles? I rode dirt bikes as a kid and started riding street bikes in the parking lot of my college's dorm when I was 18. From there I bought my first bike and the addiction started! I now have 5 bikes and made my debut to racing this past year.

Why do you ride? Riding has opened so many doors for me and granted me so many opportunities that I wouldn't have had if I never started getting into motorcycles. I've met my best friends through bikes and have gained an entire second family on and off the track . I've traveled the country by bike and have been both humbled and inspired by experiences I've had with bikes. This street rider is just beginning her racing career!

Career Highlight: Winning the National Championship for SC1 Sidecar my rookie season for AHRMA!

Favorite Bike to Ride: My first bike, a 1979 cx500!

How do you prepare to go on the track? Lots and lots of yoga followed by a quick meditation session.

Goals for 2021: Make my debut on a solo bike (CB400) and move up a couple sidecar classes!

Why do you choose Bison Track? I met Bison at a supermoto track day at Road America last summer. Rob and Tosha made me feel right at home by tossing me a beer while fitting me for a suit in the RV. I admired the personal connection they created with their customers and knew they would be a great fit for my first custom suit, as it's so crucial for a sidecar passenger to have a properly fitting suit!
