Christine "Harmony"

Harmony rides a Victory Kingpin and has 6 years’ experience in
the saddle. Her best days to ride are on the weekends. She
prefers rides that are less than 500 miles a day and is open to
doing overnight rides. Her birthday is in December (our group
comprises more than a few December birthdays!) and is
comfortable riding any position in a group, including Ride
Captain (when she knows where she’s going, that is). |

day. She's comfortable anywhere in the pack when riding with a
group. Owl's birthday is in December - another Gypsy

She has been riding since October, 2004 after completing the

notice and can do overnight and out of town rides. Born in
December, Stargazer enjoys riding tailgunner. |

Doreen "Tahoe"
-Secretary-
Tahoe went for her 2 wheel license in 2005 through Team Arizona AFTER (do the math) ordering a 2006
HD Sportster 1200C, which she didn't know how to ride at the time. Fast foward, a few years and several
thousand miles later, she's still lovin' the bike and the rides. Day or overnight rides within 300 miles
with friends are choice and she's often found scootin' around the valley on the fly by herself whenever
she can get ride-time in. |

Shirley "Wind Dancer"
-Member-
WindDancer started riding in 2004 on a Honda Nighthawk back in Minnesota. Since coming to AZ she loves to ride anytime as long as ice cream is involved. Riding is very relaxing and it’s a great way to de-stress after a long week of working. Being new to AZ, riding and seeing the countryside is her favorite type of ride.

Softail. Because of her busy schedule, Topanga does the bulk of her riding on the weekends. She can sometimes
be seen riding with her weiner dog in tow. She never seems to miss an opportunity to ride to Rocky Point for

Linda W. "Honorary Gypsy"
Linda, known as "The Scooper" these days, became an honorary Gypsy in 2006. Linda and her
late husband, Ed Whittley, met the Gypsies in 2005. An immediate bond was formed between all to promote breast
cancer awareness.
Through the efforts of all, the "Survivor" custom motorcycle built by Ed was raffled in 2006 to raise approx. $45K to
benefit this cause. Ed passed away 3 days after the motorcycle was raffled off but he did know the results of everyone's
hard work before he left us. Today, Linda spends most of her time scooping ice cream and greeting customers at Papa Ed's
Ice Cream, located in downtown Glendale. This family owned and operated, old fashion ice cream shop was built in loving
memory of Ed.
