All Chained Up.
Why I started riding, why I love riding, and why I’ll never stop.

I wish I could say it was love at first sight – but like love, my affinity for motorbikes grew steadily over time into a passion I couldn’t ignore. Being the ‘girl on a motorcycle’ was the last idea I had in mind when signing up for the M2 course, and for a while, I forgot I even had a license.

S1000RR: The Elegant Beast.
Our review of the 2010 BMW S1000RR – it eats crotch rockets for brunch.

There’s a reason why I’m referring to the S1000RR as a beast. For one, you know Cycle World’s Best Superbike of 2010 and winner of the Supertest World Association Award has got to have some bite. Plus, this bike literally looks like a beast. It has gills on the fairing, scales alongside its gas tank, and it growls. Literally.

F800GS: For On and Off the Grid.
Our review of the 2011 BMW F800GS – an off-road, off-route city slicker.

As a dirt biker, I feel most comfortable on a bike with my weight forward, my elbows out, and my seat as narrow as possible. So you can understand the familiarity and comfort I felt the moment I sat down on the BMW F800GS. That comfort was short-lived. In the simplest words, this is exactly what my dirt bike would be like if it were on steroids.
