Becky's 15 Motorcycles: My Story of Becoming an Accomplished Motorcycle Rider
Becky has always loved motorcycles. She started out riding on a farm with her dad and now has owned around fifteen motorcycles. She is currently a leader in the women's motorcycles scene and is an accomplished motorcycle rider. This article will discuss some of the skills that helped Becky build a solid foundation to become a confident motorcycle rider!
It began on the farm in Saskatchewan. Becky's grandfather and father were Harley riders, and she grew up playing with toys that helped her learn to ride. It wasn't until Becky was living in Vancouver and going to University that she got her very own scooter to get to school so that she didn't have to pay for parking. She quickly grew her motorcycle collection from there, starting on a Honda, moving to a Yamaha XT, and then to her first Harley-Davidson Sportster. Little did Becky know that this was just the beginning.
A few years later, she began to run and host one of North America Largest Women's only motorcycle events, The Dream Roll. She backed that event up with an annual motorcycle, art, and photography show based in Vancouver, B.C. called LOSERPALOOZA. If she wasn't hosting events, she was riding her chopper from Vancouver to Mexico or writing articles for magazines.
She now is a motorcycle magazine writer, motorcycle influencer, and content creator and owns her own brand, Axel co. She has significantly influenced the women's motorcycle scene in the last ten years, encouraging and empowering women who want to get into riding and try new things. The motorcycle scene can be intimidating when you start, and there are now many different motorcycle groups that encourage and support women to get out there and ride. HELL YES!!
She has spent the previous year road racing with the Build Train Race Program. She utilized everything she learned from building a race bike to learning how to race on a track, and applied it to her regular life of building choppers and simply becoming a better motorcyclist.
You may spot Becky on her Harley-Davidson Dyna or Chopper in the canyons outside Los Angeles or lane splitting downtown LA traffic. We are excited to see what she does next, and it's incredible to see women dominating space in the motorcycle industry.
