and we were welding them together. The
design took a lot of little different kinds of
engineering and a bit of trial and error but

Davidsons. I was like a kid in a candy
store.
After working there for a year or
so I wanted to know more, so I took a
technician course and got certified. Back
then things were more mechanical, now
we have all these special electronic
sensors and switches and it is a bit more
difficult to work on bikes but I do just
fine with the basics. I love being able to
work on my own bike. After Indian closed
down I went to work for the infamous
Rick Fairless and what was still Easy
Riders but has now changed to Strockers
Dallas. That was another great adventure
that I will never forget and I am honored
that I had the opportunity to work with
such amazing people.
Obviously playing with fire can be very
dangerous but if you respect it, it can be
such a beautiful expression. Fire dancing
for me is a very spiritual thing and helps
me to connect to the earth. Like music,
it breaks down barriers between people.
Fire can touch an old, raw part of a
soul—a part that the person might not
have been aware was even there.
Like fire dancing, riding my motorcycle
is also an expression of my freedom and
it is also something that touches one’s
soul. I was first introduced to riding at
the young impressionable age of 13
when my mom remarried a great guy
and he had lots of motorcycles.

favorite was the 1953 Indian Chief, I was
in total awe of that bike and just fell in love with motorcycles.
I was flying for American Airlines in 1999 when I heard that
Indian was coming back and with very little hesitation quit my job
to sell Indian Motorcycles. I spent some of the best years of my life
at the dealership in Dallas that I worked for and it was huge. We
sold Bourgets, Wild West Bikes and had a whole fleet of Harley
Everyone loves the fire dances and
just about everyone loves motorcycles
so putting them together seemed like
a great marriage of fun and excitement
to me. I have performed these shows for almost any kind of
different celebrations from kids parties, biker parties, rock
concerts and churches to you name it. Everyone seems to love
the fire dances. If you would like to see more pictures or find
