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

The SWAT MC Colors means a long lasting Sisterhood.

What is your first Motorcycling memory?

My first motorcycling memory was my first time riding MY bike and I rode on the back of my friend’s bike in the Buffalo Solider memorial ride.

What is your most embarrassing Motorcycling memory?

My most embarrassing motorcycling memory was when I went to the gas station to fill up before hitting the highway. After I finished pumping my gas, I got on my bike, started the engine, put it in first gear, tried to pull off and the bike cut off. I tried it again, again and again. I’m sitting there in the heat starting to sweat thinking, “what’s going on with my bike”; and OF COURSE, the gas station was crowded. I had to take a minute to analyze the situation, so I looked down and my kickstand was still down. Now *thinking* maybe the kickstand needs to be up. So I put the kickstand up started the bike put it in first gear and went on my way.

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

My advice would be to ride your ride and always be aware of your surroundings!
