I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE THRILL OF RIDING. I STARTED RIDING AS A PASSENGER OVER 25 YEARS AGO. I ALWAYS WANTED MY OWN RIDE, BUT WITH RAISING A FAMILY IT HAD TO BE PUT ON THE BACK BURNER. WHEN MY TWO DAUGHTERS WERE GROWN, I KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO BE IN THE SADDLE WITH THE WIND IN MY FACE. I TOOK THE TRAMAS COURSE AND BOUGHT A 250 HONDA REBEL; WITH ONLY 70 MILES ON IT, I KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR A BIGGER BIKE… NOW IT’S ME AND MY 2002 SHADOW.
I THINK ABOUT ALL OF THE LAUGHS CAROLYN AND I HAD (AND STILL DO) WHEN WE FIRST STARTED RIDING TOGETHER: WHO COULDN’T MAKE A U-TURN, OR A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC...THAT WAS ALWAYS THE QUESTION. THERE WERE TIMES WE WOULD GO BLOCKS OUT OF OUR WAY TO COME OUT BY A LIGHT, AND WAIT. I REMEMBER US STALLING OUT ON THE TOP OF WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A HUGE MOUNTAIN, BUT WAS REALLY JUST A SMALL HILL. SHE HAS BEEN MY PARTNER IN CRIME SINCE 1978, AND STILL IS….OOPS, AM I GIVING OUR AGES AWAY?
I RODE WITH ANOTHER WOMENS RIDING CLUB FOR ABOUT A 1 ½ YEARS AND THEN DECIDED TO FOLLOW MY DREAM OF STARTING ANOTHER CLUB. SO, HERE WE ARE, THE CYCLE SISTERS MC.
I HAVE MET SOME OF THE MOST CARING AND WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN THE BIKER WORLD; A UNITY, A SISTERHOOD AND A BROTHERHOOD, WHO WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD.
KEEP THE SHINEY SIDE UP AND THE WIND IN YOUR FACE.
