Hello, I'm Yoga the Biker. Originally from Detroit and currently residing in Atlanta.
Who or what got you into riding?
I use to see the motorcycles go across the island to Belle Isle and the sounds of the motors/exhausts sounded amazing. Many years later after a few set backs, I took the weekend course and got licensed. I've been riding almost three years with many more to come!
What do you ride? And what does your bike say about you?
I'm currently riding a blue 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R aka as Storm. My bike resembles me in all my pride & glory. It's a color blue that stands out in the crowd, but in a good way. It's quiet, but can be heard when the time is needed. Storm also shows representation of what's important to me: sisterhood (The Litas Atlanta), family (my Fiance, Motostyle, Fanfavorite Bikelife, Icon Motosports), & of course self-love (House of Yogini). Overall, Storm has her good and bad moments, like myself, but I steadily keep moving forward. Storm at the end of the day represents being Free to Stand Out amongst others as I ride my Ride!
How does it feel to be a female rider in this male dominated sport/lifestyle?
Being a female rider is definitely like being a rare jewel. There's so few of us out here, compared to men, but when we come together we're a force to be reckon with in a good way. I definitely enjoy hanging out with other female riders. There's no competition. We just enjoy the ride and whatever else that's going on that day. Glad I was able to link up with The Litas (Atlanta) and look forward to working with other female riders locally and around the US.
What is the most memorable experience or most fun you've had since riding?
My most memorable moment would be riding to Panama City Beach last year. Even though I experienced a faulty wheel bearing once we arrived, it was my first time riding across state lines. I look forward to crossing many more in the near future!
Bonus question: You get $10,000 but you cant ride your motorcycle for 1 year, would you take the money?
Well since you didn't say I couldn't ride another bike, I would take the $10k and ride my fiance FZ-09 when I would need wind therapy. I would use the $10k to get another ride, the Indian Scout Bobber. That's one beautiful machine that I'll hopefully get in the next year.
