My first ever ride was when I was just four years old with my dad, Stacy, on a 1974 Kawasaki. I never knew that ride I went on with my dad at such a young age would drive my passion for motorcycles and change my career. In 2014 my son Christopher and a very good friend of mine, Peter Covell, decided to redesign a 1982 Honda Gold Wing adding my favorite color, a few special touches and even my name. One of my first rides was to Danbury NC. As I was riding there, I felt a sense of freedom that I have never felt before, being on a motorcycle can really make you feel unstoppable. Some of the most memorable rides I have been on were the Tale of the Dragon, Little Switzerland and the rides to Chimney Rock, Lake Lure and Shatley Springs. Working at Honda of Winston Salem really lets me share my wonderful riding experiences and knowledge with other people. I’m hoping to continue to learn more about motorcycles, motorcycle safety and continue to encourage women to ride. Music playing, hands and feet always busy, the fresh smells of the outdoors (including the ocean, grass, trees and flowers), meeting new people and seeing my children riding with me as well is so special and can really boost my mood. Riding has truly become one of the greatest joys in my life.
