Still riding my Harley '98 Road King Classic that has morphed into an Ultra Classic. Some art work still grabs me - fused glass, glass jewelry, pottery. Love the theatre, LOVE traveling, plan to visit Italy again, Croatia again and Greece at least once. Almost any beach in the Caribbean calls my name. Put a book in my hand and park me on a beach, I'm a happy woman. Scrabble when I can find someone willing to play.

By a woman rider; also an entertainer, Gavin Fax: I'd rather die living my life than live my life dying. This came when she was asked about the danger of riding a motorcycle as a solo.

That's a tough one! My children (2) and grandchildren (3) top the list, along with a couple relatives. Then, there's a couple best friends. Then, I've been lucky enough to meet some of the most wonderful people all over the country, whether it was during our pipelining days, online through the m/c forums I've been involved in which have evolved into extended family, and then there's still a whole bunch of new friends to meet who will also be among my favorites.

Just love my 2 crazy dogs: One American Bulldog (looks a lot like Nipper, the RCA dog who thinks we built a pool for him. And, his adopted sister, a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix that is the sweetest old gal you could ask for. I can't forget to mention my old appaloosa, Rustler's Tarheel (Russie) who became the kingpin of my best friend's therapeutic riding program for handicapped children. Russie is actually tattoo'd on my breast along with my motorcycle. Not for display, but for me. Russie is gone now - buried under the apple tree on the farm in PA. Bike is still running strong with over 75K miles on her.
