It might be Mother’s day but I had to share this one.

Can’t find the original source for this, found it all over reddit and reblogs though…

“My daughter doesn’t know fear.

She doesn’t know hate.

She’s never been victimized or oppressed.

All she knows is love, happiness and horsepower.”

Not motorcycle related, but very motolady related… here’s to all the Moms out there who ride, taught us to ride, support our decision to ride, and raised us motorcyclists all over the world!

I know I wouldn’t have grown up to be my headstrong self if it weren’t for my equally strong willed mother.

Happy Mother’s Day, Momma!

PS. Yes, that is a young bratty me in the above photo. I also wish I could locate a photo of my mom riding the little Honda around the ranch, but alas I can’t.

Today was an eventful one!

Early start to go with Jada to buy her new motorcycle, home for some work, then off again to Two Wheel Tuesday at Tom Young’s motorcycle museum heaven! Rose City Motorcycle Museum is, as Tom calls it, “Portland’s best kept secret” where politics, religion, arguing and shitty attitudes are not allowed.

It was a good day in my lil world, and Jada’s too.

Building a bad ass motorcycle community in your region is not impossible! I get lots of messages from people saying they envy living on the West Coast, in Portland, etc because we have such an awesome group of motorcyclists and throw cool events, rides and such.

Well, take it from Stormie Ray, you don’t need a huge shop or an epic ride planned. Stormie throws “Wrench Wednesdays” at her place where everyone can show up and work on their projects and put their heads together with other enthusiasts.

Try throwing your own wrench-fest, BBQ or potluck… start growing your community! And send me pictures. :)
