54 and 48<br />

That’s my 1954 Corvette and my new 2010 <strong>Harley</strong>-<br />

Davidson Forty-Eight model. I’ve had <strong>the</strong> ’Vette <strong>for</strong> 48<br />

years (co<strong>in</strong>cidentally) and <strong>the</strong> Forty-Eight less than a<br />

year. To show you where my heart’s at <strong>the</strong>se days, I’ve<br />

put <strong>the</strong> car up <strong>for</strong> sale and am keep<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> bike. I love it<br />

– and it’s very easy <strong>for</strong> me to handle at my size (small).<br />

I purchased my first <strong>Harley</strong>,® a Sportster® 1200 Custom,<br />

as a gift to myself when I found out I passed <strong>the</strong> Ill<strong>in</strong>ois<br />

Bar Exam. After a while, I wanted someth<strong>in</strong>g bigger<br />

so I could “keep up” with my husband and his friends<br />

on <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>Harley</strong>s. In 2008, I was look<strong>in</strong>g <strong>for</strong>ward to<br />

<strong>rid<strong>in</strong>g</strong> to Milwaukee <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> grand open<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> H-D<br />

Museum,® but I couldn’t make it because I was on my<br />

way out to Afghanistan with my unit <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ill<strong>in</strong>ois<br />

National Guard. But I purchased my dream bike,<br />

a Dyna® Scream<strong>in</strong>’ Eagle,® a few days be<strong>for</strong>e I left.<br />

I returned from Afghanistan <strong>in</strong> fall 2009 and f<strong>in</strong>ally<br />

have been able to ride my bike this year, which<br />

<strong>in</strong>cluded a trip to Milwaukee to see <strong>the</strong> Museum.<br />

As a soldier and a lawyer, I always f<strong>in</strong>d time to ride<br />

my <strong>Harley</strong>, and I love every m<strong>in</strong>ute of it!<br />
