Join me as I adventure through life on my motorcycle! I'm exploring open roads near and far, street and dirt. My first bike was a 2003 Honda Shadaow 1100 Sabre.

I've been riding motorcycles for almost three years. I currently ride a 2023 Indian FTR Rally, and a 2022 KTM 890 Adventure R. Riding has changed my life! I've discovered so much about what I can do, and met tons of great women and men who love to do it just as much as I do. I tell my story here, talk about my riding and my journey to learn and grow. I also talk about the equipment, tools, clothing and other things that make my rides more fun, easy and just more rad! GHVHVDN4499322

First day of the KTM USA Rally 2025, I had a blast. Found a few folks happy to ride the green route with me (one couple 2up on their KTM 790!) and we adventured! Of course my bike decided to take a nap when I took a downhill too slow and stalled, but I'm fine and the bike is fine. It rained on us a bit, but it wasn't too bad. We got back to the hotel with time to shower and rest a bit before dinner.

Drove 580 miles today. Took the time I needed with rest stops and little walks. It's the nice thing about traveling solo- no one to tell me it's time to stop or go except me. I got a hotel tonight; one last night to myself before I go to the hostel and the event.

First day on the road, about 530 miles down. I got an earlier start than I thought I would, and pushed it to Nampa, ID. Encountered a rain storm, and realized I wasn't getting wet! I love riding long distances, but that's one nice perk of caging it- you stay dry.

All packed! It's crazy how much I'm taking this time because I have the space. I'm so used to just packing essentials, and now it's two sets of gear, a real pillow, and enough food to feed the people (and I'm solo) in addition to all the stuff I'll really need for a motorcycle trip.

The countdown is on. One more trip before summer is done.

This week has been all about prep. I swapped the tires back to knobbies. Adjusted my boots so the borrowed knee braces fit. Rode over a mountain to test them out and just to feel the dirt again.

It feels good to be back. To know my knee is healing, slow but steady. To have my physical therapist give me the green light. To ease back into the part of riding I've missed most.

A friend jumped in to help with the tire swap, which makes me think ...maybe a second set of wheels is in my future. Road tires to dirt tires. Swap when I want, no waiting, no paying someone else to do the job.

And now it's almost time. My last trip of the summer. Colorado. I'm going solo again. Nervous, yes, but excited too. I've never once gone to an event and not found friends along the way. That's part of the magic.

The ride, the people, the unknown.

How do you get ready for a big trip? Are you a checklist person or do you jsut pack and go?

I love ferry rides. Especially when I get to see and ride with my kiddo on the other side. We rode with the group she rides with on campus to a beach for some pizza and volleyball ...except no one brought a volleyball lol. All good, we still had fun. A few were surprised when I told them I was Mom and not just a friend, but I was welcomed kindly and the group ride was a good one.

My Indian FTR Rally has been parked for months. Back in April, my clutch started acting up and the shop found the plates were burned. It should have been an easy fix, except it turned out the replacement part was on backorder until July 8. I sighed, shifted my summer road trip plans to my other bike (which included putting more road-worthy tires on), and counted the days.

When July rolled around, the shop gave me the worst news: there was now no ETA at all for my part. I’d been sharing my “clutch saga” with Serge Muran since it started, so when I told him that update, he basically said “hold my beer” and found me one sitting on his shelf at the S&S Cycle, Inc. team shop.

A few weeks later and I’m back at one of my favorite sunset spots, my girl beside me. The wait felt like forever, but this ride made it fade into the background.

Thank you again to Serge Muran and S&S Cycle, Inc. with your help getting me back on my FTR!

Riding’s never been about content.
It’s always been about presence.

Lately it’s felt like too much.
Too much posting.
Too much thinking.
Not enough riding just to ride.

So I’m slowing down.
I’ll post now and then.
About once a week.
Maybe more if something big happens.
But only when it feels right.

No pressure.
No schedule.
Just the ride.
And whatever comes with it.

Thanks for being here while I find my rhythm again.

What kind of posts feel real to you when you’re scrolling?

This is the last of the photos from this year’s Litas trip.

No big reflections today just a bunch of badass women, some unforgettable roads, and a summer weekend I won’t forget.

Already dreaming up where we’ll ride next.
