Kim’s interest in motorcycles began by complete coincidence and almost as a fluke when she was invited on the spur of the moment to accompany her dad to the Laughlin River Run in 1998. That one trip completely changed her life, and Kim returned from Laughlin with direction, purpose, and inspiration. Prior to the trip, Kim had been saving up to buy a house. But when push came to shove, she realized that “you can’t ride a house,” and so she bought her first Harley, a 1994 custom softail. Kim practically lived on her Harley for the next two years. Although she did not know the first thing about riding a motorcycle when she financed her softail, being the self-motivated type, she soon figured it out and rode it off into the sunset. Kim reports that she “rode that sucker all the way to the Extraterrestrial Highway, sleeping on the road, and drinking coffee out of a sock along the way.” Her friends and family didn’t see her again until two years later in 2000 when she graduated from MMI in Phoenix, Arizona. After graduation, Kim worked as a mechanic at Lakeshore Harley in Illinois for two years, and then traveled on to Chicago Harley for another two year tenure. Kim then returned to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she worked for Las Vegas Harley as a mechanic at the highly esteemed expert technical level. Kim left Las Vegas Harley in 2006, and has since bought a second bike (a 2006 Street Glide), participated in the production and filming of “Poker Run,” and acted as Project Supervisor for the construction of a palatial home at the top of Mount Charleston, Nevada
