What I blog about

My Story

Hi, I’m Deb.  I’m a fifty-something Mom of two adult children and the Mom-Mom of two grandsons.  I’ve been riding since I was four years old, with some breaks in between.  I grew up on mini-bikes and motorcycles.  My ex-husband and kids raced motocross and hare scrambles for several years.  I had a four-wheeler during that time (still do).  I loved being up in the mountains, riding trails and exploring but kids grew up, adults get older and what used to take a day to recover from started taking a few extra days so we rode dirt less and less. 

Fast forward to about 2008, my ex-husband decided to add a street bike to the two-wheeled line up in the garage.  I am a bad passenger.  I know this and I knew the only way that I would ride on the road would be on my own bike.  We added a Honda Shadow 1100 to the garage line up for me.  Around the same time my son graduated from Marine Corp boot camp and bought himself an older Sportster.  I remember looking at the much larger Shadow, my ex-husband’s bike and my son’s Sportster and thinking, “I want to ride something more like the Sportster.”  The Honda shadow was a great bike, but a lot of bike for a beginner.  As much as I had ridden over my lifetime, riding on the road was a lot different and far more intimidating than dirt. 

New residents in the garage!  The sport bike and the Shadow were replaced with a ‘full-dresser’ for him and a 1997 Sportster Hugger for me, and my journey began!

Let’s fast-forward about 30k miles, a divorce, the addition of a 2019 Heritage Softail and here we are!
