Some of our members - those who aren't too shy!

Mooncat
Favourite biking activity: I’m enjoying getting out to as many rallies as time, money and family commitments will allow and I’m looking forward to starting touring in the UK.
Favourite road: Helmsley to Lordstone Café Carlton.
Favourite piece of kit: Russ!
Dream bike: Any Triumph.
Comments: Patching Tracey was a highlight in my Sol Sisters year for 2009.

Tee - Administrator
Favourite biking activity: I love rallies & shows, chilling out and just riding - fast, slow, I don't mind as long as I'm on my bike.
Favourite road: Does it have to be tarmac? Loads, Scotland, Wales, the Yorkshire Moors, everywhere except motorways!
Favourite piece of kit: Was my passion killing padded waterproofs but has now been superceeded by my Shark helmet that recently saved my life (and was replaced with another the same make and model).
Dream bike: I love the No Nonsense Choppers
Comments: Sol Sisters are so much fun. I love to see someone's confidence grow or their riding improve. The look on their face when they get their patch or a certificate of achevement. I love the laughs, camaraderie and the diverse personalities within the group - long may it continue!

Laura - full member

Favourite biking activity: I love going to rallies and chilling with friends, rides out and about and travelling somewhere new on hols. My introduction to bikes was over 20 years ago when I met my hubbie Pete and we went all over (me on pillion). Then when our daughter Lydia came along she took over my back seat and I passed my test!
Favourite road: I love any road to Whitby which is one of my favourite places. Harrogate to Skipton or Helmsley to Stokesley also good (and on route to 2 of my favourite rallies!). I also love the road to Sledmere and onwards to Driffield as it means I’m on my way home after a good ride out. I’m going to be trying to get further afield this year and find a favourite road out of Yorkshire!
Favourite piece of kit: Anything warm and waterproof
Dream bike: Anything I can touch the ground on – being 4ft 10ins! But I think I’ve found the perfect bike for me – a Suzuki Savage 650 which is just on the road after having an engine rebuild by my hubbie.
Comments: I’m looking forward to doing a lot more riding this year as my confidence (and hopefully my riding) improves…..

Sam - REP Scotland

Fav biking activity: anything and everything! I know that sounds like a cop out but it's true - I smile when I'm around bikes - always have... I guess my first introduction to bikes was at a race meet; so if I had to pick one it would be the race track pit lane! - But rallies/a ride out alone or with friends/ or sometimes simply taking the time out to wash and polish my baby is enough!
Favourite road: no single one in particular but the road through Glenshee heading up to Braemar is pretty good fun and has amazing views. Great bike friendly cafe at the end too! (The Hungry Highlander)
Favourite piece of kit: Again - all important - but I guess I'd have to say my Daytona bike boots - worth their weight in gold - and they DO weigh some!
Dream bike: I own her! My beloved SV... the only bike I've ever owned from new and the bike that has been my 'constant' through some pretty troubled times. She's never let me down and never will...
Comments: The past few years have been a kind of wilderness for me - a relatively minor accident really shot my nerve and has made it a battle to find that 'happy' place on the bike again... I know it's out there waiting for me - so this year it's my goal to get out there and spend time smiling behind my visor again... It's been too long...

Jan – full member
Favourite biking activity: Jan passed her test 15 years ago and is the longstanding pillion rider to her husband Mick. She like rallies, drag racing, riding to the seaside for prawns and ice cream, every Sunday!
Favourite road: The moor road to Whitby taking in Hole of Horcum (for prawns and ice-cream!).
Favourite piece of kit: Purple Doc Martins and tassled leather jacket.
Dream bike: Ducati Monster or a Harley Sportster.
Comments: Mick and Mooncat's other half are building a BMW K75 trike (shown in the photo) which will hopefully be ready soon so that they (Mick, Ryan - 3yr old grandson and Jan) can get out and about and do what they enjoy best........ rallies, dancing and beer!!!!

Favourite biking activity: staying upright, dry roads & sunshine (and rallies)
Favourite road: the bumpy straight bit on way to Helmsley from Malton
