Alright, it may be slightly delayed… but I finished my video from the 2013 Sang-Froid Riding Club Alley Sweeper Urban Enduro. After the event I did a mini status update with photos of the damage to the bike and myself after wrecking it twice. Now it’s time to answer the question posed to me via instagram, facebook, AND twitter: “Can you explain to me how that’s fun?”

Sure… riding through mud, potholes, gravel, grass, and whatever else you happen upon is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the motorcyclists who like to get dirty, like to feel their back tire lose traction. Those of us who enjoy those “oh shit moments” and riding with other friends.
The Alley Sweeper is not about property damage or disrespect to neighborhoods and communities. Motorcyclists are ALL ABOUT community!
Shelina Moreda (middle) gets dirty.
She said-
Muddy Muddy Dirt Track! Tons of fun playin in the mud at Prairie City with the crew from California Supermoto Schools!
Did my first wheelies on Joel’s 2-stroke dirtbike today… 3 or 4 good’ns. Then promptly ate shit… my tailbone hurts. More photos to follow.
I think I was a flat track racer in a past life. The slide, the speed… I felt perfect on that dirt bike. This photo makes me feel a little bit of what I feel when the back end breaks free.
…Weeeee…!
How a motolady spends her evening after work- on a dirt bike!
Believe it or not this was my first two stroke experience and I had a BLAST! It’s really amazing how physically demanding dirt biking is, even when it’s just 20 laps around a big field on a little 125.
Here’s some shots from the evening. I got a couple of Chris, he got a few of me.

Motorcycling in booty shorts? Well at least she has boots on and is givin’ it hell.
On that note, y’all can pick up a pair of MotoLady Booty Shorts on Spreadshirt.
