Anyone else from Washington?

lauralynne · 03-05-2008, 02:24 AM

Everett, WA here - 20 miles north of Seattle. Rider, racer, general moto-holic.

Name's Laura....My street ride is a VTR1000, my race ride is a SV650, and my dirt ride is a CRF150. My projects include an FZR400/600, a GSXR50 w/ a RM125, and a garage full of other bikes...

I've got 2 kids, one boyfriend, 2 dogs and a couple of small businesses that I'm working on so that I don't have to go back to work.

Thanks to Azoomm for the link and the recommendation...and many other things that I'm not allowed to mention *heehee*

What's to tell...I'm currently unemployed, laid off on Friday due to no business. Wasn't a surprise. Spending my 'spare' time getting my to do list taken care of and ramping up for race season. I've got 2 teenagers who keep my busy and a boyfriend who is keeping busy with a business we inherited in January. His dad passed away unexpectedly so Louie went from being a mechanic for an independant shop to the owner of a car restoration shop (www.restoreyourcar.com).

I import and sell tirewarmers (http://www.pwmotosports.com/tire_warmers.htm), trying to get a home based Partylite business off the ground, anything to continue not working for other people.

This year will mark 5 years with Louie and while there's been no ring or "big question" he did buy me a wedding dress and has talked about a wedding this year. So we'll see.

I write articles for an online women's mag on a part time basis, I attend femmoto in Las Vegas every October, I race in the novice class in WMRRA, I street ride as often as possible (when I'm not running kids to baseball or soccer). We own 17 or so motorcycles, most of them run, a few of them will be for sale when the sun comes out here (I didn't think it was possible but we have TOO MANY!).

what am I missing....
