What do you do for a living?
I'm a Practice Manager for a veterinary hospital...so I make sure that we make enough money to stay open, follow regulations, herd cats, hold dogs, train staff, and hand the doctor a scalpel. Usually not all at once.
How long have you owned your FZ6R?
It came home with my husband in September 2009 new and as of this week it's mine!
What other modes of transport do you have?
2008 Honda Fit Sport
2008 Ford Ranger
There's a new bike coming home soon, likely a DRZ400-SM.
If you could have any bike what would it be?
One? This calls for a list, though I'll limit myself to actual possibilities:
CBR400RR
Hypermotard 796
848 Evo in Dark Stealth
FZ8
...etc, etc.
What are your hobbies apart from the bike?
Reading (I read a lot), I love to watch hockey, writing, walking with the dogs.
What is the best place you have visited on your travels and why?
Moloka'i, Hawai'i. It's a beautiful place that hasn't been developed like the rest of Hawai'i. Imagine being on a 3 mile long white sand beach with no one else, and seeing the night sky without any ambient light to block out the stars.
How would you best describe yourself?
Easy going, sarcastic, fun. I'm pretty low-key and low-maintenance.
What pets have you got?
2 dogs: Maggie, a Treeing Walker Coonhound mix (she was rescued after hurricane Katrina) and Bender a yellow Labrador Retriever.
Which invention in history would you most like to have come up with?
The printing press.
If you ruled the world, what is the first thing you would outlaw?
Bad drivers!
If you were forced to entertain us all at the Forum Christmas party - what would your talent be?
Hm. I'm pretty amusing when I'm drunk. You can convince me to do pretty much anything that I think would be funny...which is a lot of stuff when I've been drinking!
Snow or beach?
Both. Nice snow is such a rarity around here, but a nice tropical beach is pretty hard to beat. I love swimming in the warm ocean.
Windows or Mac?
Linux and Windows
F1 or MotoGP?
MotoGP!
Which track or album rocks your boat?
It's a pretty big list. Some of my favourite artists:
New Order
Buck 65
Underworld
BT
Chicane
Nine Inch Nails
Metric
Miike Snow
Depeche Mode
Mother, Mother
Arcade Fire
Tragically Hip
Chicane
Daft Punk
Bad Religion
...etc.
What is your favorite film?
That's a big list too...pretty much anything other than romantic comedies and/or "chick-flicks" (yuck).
Seven Samauri is a big favourite of mine.
Meat or Veg?
Both. I'm carnivorous!
What is your favorite beverage?
Coffee and tea (caffeine is an important food group)
Micro-brewery beer
Shiraz
Cool water after a long summer ride
And finally, your number one rule in life?
"Follow your heart as long as you live,
Do no more than is required...
Don't waste time on daily cares
Beyond providing for your household;
When wealth has come, follow your heart,
Wealth does no good if one is glum!"
