Yep, she is. This was shot in Amarillo. I went over (50 miles) and watched this event.

She has some excellent skills and great form in the saddle. I’ll admit the Harley has a great turning radius. I’m dizzy from just watching.

Since I’ve never been to an event like this, I don’t know how one preps for a competition like this except to have a ton of cones and make your own course to practice. If this was sign up on the fly and try to compete, I’d have gotten lost in the maze  Grin after the first couple sections.

I'd knock the cones down just walking through that course, probably do better on the trike. Would need to spread things out a bit though.  Wink

I practice tight turns, circles, 8's for a few minutes before most rides.  (for some reason, I've always been better left than right)

Out in the big intersection in front of my corner lot house.  Need to watch for speeding maniacs though.

I don't need no stinking cones (to run over and drag/melt on the pipes).  I prefer painted lines to cones.

Last cone course I ran was the Air Force version of MSF they insisted I take (or otherwise push my bike to the gate - couple miles).  That was April 1984, and on my CB750K.  Smoked it.  Smiley

     I have a drivers license office and a Missouri Highway Patrol M/C check course fer newby type riders. Fer yuks and giggles I took Phatt Ghurl around that course and do Not CARE who you iz No Way No How would a Valkyrie do that course at ALL! And on the weekends NO CONES on the M H P course. An H/D Might could navigate it But it Would be TIGHT! And I'm with John now that I AM a 3 wheel old guy in the wind!  coolsmiley  cooldude  2funny RIDE SAFE.
