Marie S.

Nickname: I've had a few over the years but none have ever stuck.

Year I Began Riding: 1990

What made you want to ride your own motorcycle? I always thought that they were bad ass cool and then I saw a feminine looking lady ride a Lowrider back in the late 70s. That was the firsttime I ever saw a chick on a bike- Wow! Years later, a friend of mine (Patsy) showed up on two wheels and I was so inspired that I had to get my own.

Currently Ride: 2005 Harley Davidson Heritage Classic First Bike: I had a minibike as a kid, and I loved it until my brother blew up the engine. My first street bike was a 1982 Yamaha Special 400cc. Dream Bike if I won the lotto: A customized low-rider beach cruiser with a Key West theme paint job and chromed out to the max.

Best Road Trip to Date: HD 90th Anniversary party. I rode hundreds of miles to get there on my Yamaha 400 with a pack of Harleys doing 80+ MPH down the interstate. My tack was on red the entire time! Participating in the 90th parade (on Patsy's Harley) was probably one of the greatest moments I have ever experienced in my life. It seemed like the entire city of Milwaukee showed up to lend their support. They lines the interstate, hovered over bridges cheering us along and waving American flags. It was incredible beyond words!

Favorite Roads to Ride on 2 wheels: Northen MN during the summer. No traffic, beautiful scenery, the smell of pine trees in the air, and it NEVER gets too hot. Perfection! Dream Road Trip for me to Road Captain: Traveling across New Zealand on a motorcycle is definately on my "Must Do" list! Any exciting road trip stories? I once had a pack of Timber wolves cross the road in front of me in MN. Another animal encounter was North of Dade City, FL when I noticed that a loose bull was charging toward me when I was slowing down for a stop. A whole different perspective when you are on a bike!

Birthday:March 22nd~ Aries Birthplace: Born and raised in Minnesota "Ya Sure, You Betcha" Ambitions: To laugh, love, have fun, enjoy life, stay healthy as long as possible, to inspire others to "get out there" & to keep the rubber side down! Turn Ons: Music, Animals, traveling the world, hanging out with friends,  enjoying the great outdoors, watching football, eating at good restaurants, partying, cooking, walking and hiking, pursuing knowledge, and hanging out by the beach, Did I mention riding?

Turn Offs: Whiners, Tightwads, abusers of people & animals, getting up early, lazy people that have the ability  to work or make a difference but don't, old leftovers (yuck!) and being stuck in traffic.

Charities I have supported: Various Animal humane shelters, domestic violence shelters, Habitat for Humanity, Faces of Courage, and so many others.

Special Talents: I possess the "Call of the Wild" by mimicking animal calls & I can type really fast. Impressive, I know! I'll sign autographs later. Present Occupations: Commercial Insurance Broker and referrel agent (real estate) Dream Job: One with decent pay, freedom and flexibility so I can work from remote locations with at least 3 weeks of vacation so I can go on some road trips. Weirdest Job I have ever held: I worked on the set for Ice Castles as an employee of Columbia Pictures. Go tto hang out with movie stars and eat gourmet food, plus it paid very well. I was offered a job in LA to continue the journey but I wasn't ready at that point in my life, so I turned them down. Silly me!

A Unique Thing about me: Just being me. Every person on Earth is a one of a kind unique individual and I think that is totally cool. What I like BEST about the WITW Dangerous Curves Chapter: I just think that this group of women is awesome!!! They like to ride and also have fun! Dangerous Curves Chicks Rock!
