Welcome to the Biker Brooke blog. It’s a place where I share my love of motorcycling. I especially wish to inspire more women to get behind the handlebars. Riding is my passion, my playground, my sanity. And I have some pretty strong opinions about gear, especially so-called “women’s” gear. Hope you enjoy reading.
More random notes about me: Love being outdoors and active. (SPF) sun worshipper. Hobbies are varied, diverse and occasionally fleeting. I like to try everything! One day I’ll ride cross-country and write a book about it. I’m an independent marketing consultant, and I serve on the Board of Directors of an amazing charity, Camp Carefree.
Just as happy with a PBR tallboy as a flavored martini. I think tattoos are beautiful and a brave expression of personality. I’m considering starting a bachelorette party business (cause I plan a mean one.) I don’t eat meat but don’t care if you do. I wish I were bad-ass enough to play roller derby.
A good friend and I celebrated our 30th birthdays by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It was wet, dirty and really difficult, but I’m so glad I did it. I love animals and think that domesticated dogs are the finest example of man tampering with nature (which in general I abhor.) I dream about having a huge flying creature like Falcor in the Neverending Story.
I am optimistic, fun-loving and occasionally ridiculously cheery. I think it’s easier to go through life with a positive attitude. Yes, you may recognize me from random TV appearances.
