I work at Starr Cycle for fun! Working in this environment is amazing. Every day I go to work and stare at cool bikes. I order riding gear. I talk to some of the nicest people in the world. Sometimes I talk to mean people, but mostly nice. And us employees are like a little family.
I began working at Starr Cycle in the summer of 2006. What began as just my summer job turned into full-time employment in the fall, which meant I left my "real job" at the elementary school in St. James. While I do miss working with kids, some of us here have many similiar qualities.
I began riding when I was 21. I did it because I hated being a passenger. I had ZERO riding experience. I took a MSF Safety Course up at South Central College (funny thing...John Zender was one of my instructors) and
My first bike was a Suzuki GS500E. What a great little bike. Other bikes include a Yamaha R1, a Buell Thunderbolt, and my current bike--a KTM 690 Duke. The Duke is by far my fave. It is super duper light and wicked fun. My oldest daughter has a Yamaha TTR90 and my youngest daughter rides a KTM Strider pre-bike. It's a family affair!
My official title at Starr Cycle is Parts Manager, but I can sell you a bike, get you a loan or help fit you for a helmet. I am always eager to hear suggestions on what we should carry for parts & accessories and also riding gear, so speak up!
If you are ever in town, I encourage you to stop in at Starr Cycle and say hi.
