About Me

I hate these pages...what the heck am I supposed to say? Well, I'm a 31-year old female who fell in love with riding motorcycles when I bought my first bike, a GS500 in 2000. After 1500 miles on the street, my boyfriend at the time suggested I do a track day, and that's all it took. After being out on the track, I knew that I wanted to do it more often.

Now my husband, Brian, and I both race 125s. He started me on an FZR400, which lasted about two weekends, and then he bought me an Aprilia RS250. I loved it!

In 2002, my husband had a pretty bad crash, and we decided no more racing until we got married (May 2003), so we both took some time off of the track. A few months after getting married, we decided to get back out there, him on the track and me spectating. Well, I didn't spectate for very long before I wanted to try it again, so my husband sold my Aprilia and bought me a 125 because he thought I'd be more comfortable on it. Well, he was right (but don't tell him I admitted that). I've only ridden it once, but I can tell that once I get used to it, I'm gonna love it! Stay tuned to my site to see pictures of me on my 125, and to read about how our season in 2004 goes.

Best thing anyone's said to me after a race: "I'll be damned if a bitch is gonna pass me again!"
Favorite Part About Racing: Going as fast as I can and it's allowed, the competitive feeling I get, and hanging out with great friends.
