| Family: | I have had the good fortune to be married for almost 40 years to Ken. We have three children; Carl, Curt and Candice. We are blessed with 7 Grandchildren; Lauren, Nick, Tony, Alyssa, Connor, Jake and Jace. We also lost a grandson, Brandon. |
| Years riding: | Since 2003 |
| How often do you ride: | As much as the body allows |
| Who do you ride with: | Ken, friends and the chapter |
| Where are some of your favorite routes you’ve ridden: | The Natchez Trace Parkway...400 miles you can do in 5th gear and just enjoy! |
| Funny situation you had that involved your bike: | Riding on my bike, following Ken early one morning on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I saw Ken go by something black in the road. Turned out to be a large snake that Ken woke up and made mad. By time I went by it that snake wanted nothing more than to get a bite of me. Thank heavens there were no cameras around as I lifted one leg and screamed at the top of my lungs. I should mention I HATE SNAKES. |
| What’s the most expensive change or repair you’ve made to your bike: | Besides the trike kit (aka training wheels) it would have to be the purple tinted, etched windshield. |
| You could buy another bike, what would your next one be and why: | A full dresser trike. |
| What is your favorite Harley event you’ve attended: | Kansas State HOG Rally. It was great; my first long trip riding my own bike, getting to spend time with Carl. And topping it all off with a new diamond ring from Ken. |
| What are some of your other interests or hobbies: | I like to read, do crafts and enjoy finding ways to help people not as fortunate as us. |
