What does the SWAT Colors (vest patch) mean to you?

SWAT Colors mean sisterhood, friendship and togetherness.  It’s more than just an MC it’s a family and it’s awesome to be a part of SWAT!

What is your first Motorcycling memory?

Riding in the country on the back of my cousin’s motorcycle is my first bike memory.

What is your most embarrassing Motorcycling memory?

There is actually a tie for embarrassing moments for me. The first was when I was taking the MSF class and the person in front of me stopped short in front of me and caused me to drop my bike.  Imagine me standing up holding on to the handle bar of the bike lying on the ground. The other happened the first time I rode my bike. I was doing my first pass and came up to a stop sign, I took too long to decide whether to turn or go straight, so the bike stalled and I left my feet on the foot pegs and fell over.

And, Finally what advice would you give to a novice rider and/or future prospective member of SWAT?

My advice would be to do what you can do. Don’t worry if you’re not as experienced as the rest of the group. In time you will get there.
