Hair Hair Everywhere

Hair Hair Hair.

Here we are a trio of long haired earth-loving, ocean-loving, people-loving, peace-giving, divine-promoting, happy-dishing, soul-dancing, love-spreading, heaven-praising, spirit-dancing, light-laughing folk.

Our wedding was so out of this world.  So utterly transforming.  I feel completely changed.   There is definitely the Sasha before the marriage and the Sasha after the marriage.  Being united with a loving partner is absolutely life changing.  Patrick and I are together five years this year.  We've lived together for most of those years during which time we endured the struggles of being an artist and surviving, the Nashville Flood, the passing of my beloved daddy Poppi, and the challenge of choosing marriage.  Choosing is a process.   Choosing a mate is a study in companionship.  It's a chance to stand up and have the courage to look at yourself under a microscope and admit with sweat on the brow that life is short and it's time to take the good long look at yourself.  Waste no time on being an a$$ looking at life through a distorted lens.

A good partner is a mirror.  A good partner is patient and encouraging.  Companionship is a journey and you need to fill the tank of truth and love all the time.  It will gasp on empty if you ignore the gauges screaming "E."  And that spark...gotta keep your spark plugs clean and change 'em if they are tired.   Keep watch that the spark is pure and the engine is running cool.  You don't want to overheat with angry air.

My motorcycle teaches me to look at things like a good long ride with all the unpredictable happenings that could occur.  Looking through the motor lens of my modified Harley-Davidson things are so clear for me.  My motorcycle helps me make sense of things in the world, in life and in love.  After all, my motorqueen, Miss Tigerlily, brought me together with my Chrome Charming, Patrick, and his brute looking Harley-Davidson Springer with the long ape hangers.

When it seems like I can't make any sense of things, well I just let my hair down and get my knees in the breeze and ride free.   Standing on that Maui beach on April 28th, 2011, signing that certificate with lovely Eve Hogan officiating the nuptials -- our hair just a blowing in the breeze --- was the same feeling I get when I set out on an adventure:  the exhilaration of that brand new feeling when you set out on a new road; having an idea of the destination and knowing there will be some detours, exits and entrances, maybe a breakdown or two and then a restoration and more; and that overall surrender as I place my mustard-seed size faith in the new journey, setting my heart and soul wild and free as I welcome the excitement of the wide open horizon ahead.   It's that child-like feeling of gloriously losing yourself in the moment without a sense of hands controlling a tick-tock.  The only sound is your heart beating out of your chest with anticipation and that is your measure of time....none.

Music + Motorcycles = Marriage

thumbs up after signing the certificate and officially sealing the deal.

Yes, music + motorcycles = Marriage.  I found my match made in Asphalt Heaven in Patrick Lassiter's soul and heart.   The power of music and the roar of two Harley-Davidson engines brought us together forever on April 28, 2011.

The Lovely Eve Hogan, marriage officiant, author of inspirational love books, motivational speaker, Labyrinth expert, and proprietor of the Sacred Gardens of Maui, was the chosen angel to marry us. (Eve - www.heartpath.com)  Bill Stockwell was the photographer (www.photosonmaui.com) and we stayed at the most affordable and awesome boutique sexy ZEN hotel (www.hotelwailea.com).  They spoiled us rotten there with all kinds of honeymoon treats and the hotel housekeepers picked the flowers from the property for my wedding bouquet --  three stems representing the holy Trinity and we tied a ribbon around it with photos of our dearly departed parents: (Larry and Caroline Lassiter, and my poppi John Mullins.  My mother, Ann aka Emma is still very much alive and bossing me around LOL).

Irene Ryding performed a variety of super wind floating tunes on her harp (www.mauiharper.com), and the day before the wedding Marty Guierro stopped by our hotel to give us two highly spirited, deep tissue massages to get us more in tune with the Aloha soul of Maui (www.mauirelax.com).

Elena Jones of Nona Lani Cottages in Kihei handmade our leis with flowers from her garden!  Our $7.99 wedding cake came from Safeway grocery stores and we ate it with side splitting laughter while driving along the Road to Hana.   The entire wedding trip became an experience that made our marriage ceremony an epic event in our lives.  It sealed the meaning of forever as the sweetest reality to our freespirited souls.  We feel free-er and more wild at heart than ever before having held our nuptials on the sacred isle of Maui.

Wild and free is the nature of the universe and we are very much one with it and very aware of our ONEness with the Universe because of our high octane FUN wedding trip and ceremony.  Come to think of it, yeah, our wedding was a TRIP!  Altogether!

The folks involved made it so, too, of course.

Floody shares the NY Times Vows article featuring his mama and dada.

The divine treat is that our little story made the VOWS section of the NY Times.  That's a Godincidence shot in the dark for sure.  Thanks to editor Bob Woletz, writer Lois Smith Brady, and NYT Maui photographer Matthew Thayer for recognizing the roar of our story and presenting it to the readership of my very favorite newspaper: The New York Times.  I've dreamed of having my wedding announced in this great paper and lo and behold it happened BEYOND my wildest dreams.

Music + Motorcycles + Marriage = dreams come true!  Read all about it in the NY TIMES click here!

Seeing the NY Times VOWS article in print makes us feel like we got married all over again today. May it inspire u!

A new life begins as Mrs.

Mr. and Mrs. Lassiter

April 28, 2011

Po'olenalena Beach, Maui, Hawaii

Being married is awesome.  Patrick and I have been together five years this year and we've been through so much together in those five years.  He is a kind and gentle man with a huge heart plus he is super fun to be with and he makes me laugh all the time.   I've learned so much from his sweet Southern personality.  He's like sweet tea with a little moonshine.  And I guess I'm something like Sangria with sass.   All of our wedding photos totally show that we're best friends.  Lots of humor during our ceremony.  Not that we made fun of it, it's just that we were super high on life's a beach and we couldn't believe that we were finally getting married. Neither one of us had EVER been married before. 

Check out the slide show of our wedding that photographer Bill Stockwell put together for us:

http://video214.com/play/RekRr6CqsaqWQikRELyP5Q/s/dark

Bill really captured our special life changing moment as we said our vows and celebrated our new life together.  There was another awesome photographer there, too, named Matt Thayer from the NY Times and I just can't WAIT to see his photos!!!!  What an honor that we will be the featured couple in the VOWS section of the NY Times May 22nd.  The amazing Lois Smith Brady composed the feature article about us.   That's a super nova Godincidence blessing all together, darlings.  Oh, I LOVE the NY Times and have always dreamed of my wedding being announced in my favorite paper of all time.  Even though I live in Nashville, I'm forever a NY city girl and someday we will live full on part-time, too. I've been scouting locations for our second someday home.  

Thank GOD for Patrick and my sweet life as Mrs. Lassiter.  I added my name Mullins to my middle name in honor of my Poppi.   

More to come. . . 

In it for the Long HAUL.

When I first committed to getting my music project completed, little did I realize it would take so many years.  From the moment you write and arrange to the opportunity and $ to record it takes a long time.  Often times, I wanted to just set the project aside 'til some pinpoint in the future because the frustration to see a project through with minimal resources just pillaged the creative joy of it.  I would not give up and forget about it.  I just had to set it aside until I could love the process again.

That's being in something for the long haul.

The long haul is to haul your dreams around because you just can't set 'em on the side of the road forever like trash.  Can you image how littered roadways would be if that were the case?  No, you have to keep those dreams alive for the long haul.  Even though the dream is not so front and center where it needs to be.  'Cause other things get in the way of that vision.  Like, I don't know, an epic flood, family turmoil, unemployment, illness....

When that dream is locked and stocked in your heart, it's there for the long haul.  Take it out.  Play with it.  Give it life.  Don't toss it on the side of the road.

Yep, that music project is on the way again.  It's been a long haul.

The LOVE of my LIFE.

(c) 2010 by Stacie Huckeba

The LOVE OF MY LIFE.  Is riding my motorcycle and all things related to riding my motorcycle.  Because everything in my life that is awesome has been brought about from the universe through my passion for riding.  Everytime I climb on my bike and take to the wind I feel the depth of my entire existence on this earth and how I am so connected to all things divine and good.  I feel rich with the awe of life beyond measure.  

Tigerlily is the name of my motorcycle because I believe that this girl is very naturally a tiger and a lily.  My motorcycle is an extension of my soul because it manifests the expression of that which is unnameable: God, Jehovah, Mother, Father, etc.   

No matter what the weather I love to ride.  My motorcycle and I weather the storms in life.  There have been times when I could not ride her because I didn't have the $$$ to even put her on the road so I would just sit upon her and dream.  The photo shoot that Stacy Huckeba www.imagesbystacie.com captured is The LOVE of my LIFE: riding MY motorcycle and my relationship with that bike.  She also beautifully captured my relationship with Patrick.  So that makes two LOVES of my LIFE.  Tigerlily brings color into my life lens and shows me a perspective on everything in a way I couldn't experience just standing still in my own jaded lens.  She brings purpose and she let's me know how fragile my life is and how precious my existence here on earth.

My motorcycle is so powerful way beyond the material presence of a machine.   She is my WORLD and she brings me an experience here on earth that I cannot imagine living without...TRUTH.  My motorcycle brings my dreams to life and she brought me my Patrick and my little pets, and music and a literary career and so many beautiful opportunities.  My motorcycle brings forth the TRUTH of my BEING:  Joy, Love, Laughter and deep contemplation.  She brings me friendship and family.   She weathers life's storms with me and drives me through the driving tears drops and let's me know that everything is gonna be okay.  My motorcycle has taught me LOVE of my LIFE.

Share with me how your motorcycle just may be the Love of Your Life.

The art of Excavation...

Before.  Bohemian rhapsody.  All is quiet on the homestead front.   And then after, the excavation begins.  And they are going eight feet down more than you see in the photo below.  That brings to mind....excavation and digging deep in all that you do. Going below the surface.  Because the surface doesn't always reflect the leaks and cracks and repair work needed deep down.  We need to keep our foundations preserved. ; )   I love the fact that we found giant rocks.  Solid pieces.  We shall make front yard art out of the rock.  Stay tuned for more on discovering ROCK SOLIDS.

Facebook...takes over my blog!

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in my blog for ages because Facebook has become my daily blog spot but now I have way over the capacity of fans over 1,000 waiting to get into my profile. Wendy Jans is designing a new blog page for me that I'll be posting to which will combine the tumblr and blogger outlets. I hope my Facebook allows anyone and everyone to read it even tho you may not be a "friend" but you really are, it's just that FB won't let me accept anymore and the whole "like" thing is sort of weird to me; it's not even designed the way the personal profile space is and I LOVE the personal interaction with everyone.

There has been so much happening and I realize that if you don't go onto my Facebook page you may think I'm just this dormant chick. HellNO. I've been busy as ever and now traveling more. Just got hired back into the Broken Spoke family again and I'll be working with Easyrider events and LoneStar. Yeah, honeys! So, I'm getting a smartphone now (I've been holding off because that extra $30 per month to operate a smart phone can go to so many other cool things, like yard saling and saving up for a mototrip) Anyway, I realize that I need a smartphone now more than ever because there is so much interaction with everyone in the social media world and I just love all this opportunity to constantly compose the written word.

http://www.facebook.com/chromecowgirl - dig it. tell me via message if you can experience my facebook even if I can't add you as a friend because I have too many. if not...then I must do the whole "like" thing.

Can't wait to hear all about your summer adventures.

Lots of love and high vibe karma,
Sasha

2009 - time to shine.

2009 is the year to tend to the main flame.

2009 is the time to shine.

the main flame is truth and passion. listening to the heart.

being true to yourself is to shine.

we all face enormous challenges now and ahead. but in the moment is peace in the midst of the chaos. this is not fruity talk or empty spiritual spits. this is the truth.

no matter how much you owe in bills, no matter how much you hate to lose the house you love because you can't afford it anymore. no matter how much you hate to sell the bike or the car. . .

you have a flame inside of you burning...always shining in the darkness.

and that flame is the key to living your truth and passion. that flame is strength and it belongs to you and no thing or person can take it away.

sometimes, the fire dies away and is reduced to little more than ash. you curl up to kindle it and find solace in sleep. that's okay.

just don't turn to the hopelessness of drugs and alchohol because that will extinquish the flame. turn within and know that there is a flame of truth burning within and 2009 is your time to shine...

this has nothing to do with money
this has nothing to do with fame
it has everything to do with finding peace within, in the midst of chaos.
it has everything to do with living smart
it has everything to do with understanding that freedom is found in reducing debt and less material things in life
free to be
free to shine
free to stoke the fire within

take your logs of desires and feed the flame.
take your fiery hope and pour some liquid gladness on it
so that your flame burns high and bright for all to see
and be still
and know deep within
that you rock. because you are the rock of CREATION.

2009 is your time to shine.

Chrome Cowgirl's Guide to the Motorcycle Life!

Hello!

The Chrome Cowgirl's Guide to the Motorcycle Life! hit bookstores 9/24/08. My friends, I am so happy that this book is finally birthed and into the world.

Sort of Zen, sort of bad ass with class, and definately all girl power, this book was written to encourage folks to follow their dreams in Chrome Cowgirl style. Grab life by the handlebars and charge after your destiny, live the life you KNOW in your heart you're meant to live. Abandon what doesn't fit in the saddle bags of your journey, and, yes embrace your saddle bags....hahaha!

What does it mean to be a Chrome Cowgirl? Well, it's to be the pioneer and forge your own path. It's saddle up and be true to yourself. It's to weather the storm and be exposed to the elements of change. It's to prance to your own rodeo. It's to have fun and lots of it.

Take a look at the first chapter here: www.bikerlady.com/chromecowgirl.htm

Sasha!!!!

Kidnapped by a rock band to Sturgis.

Kidnapped to Sturgis by the Jasmine Cain Band

As you all know, I always ride my motorcycle, Tigerlily, a chopped out 1999 Harley-Davidson Sportster, to Sturgis, South Dakota for my annual wild west cruise.

This year, whilst preparing for the journey from Nashville, up drove rocker Jasmine Cain and her guitar player Jeffro who sequestered Tigerlily, threw her into their gear trailer and then hijacked my ass into the Ford Explorer, and west ward ho we were bound.

It was a straight drive-through, all of us pumped up no sleep with huge amounts of Pilot Travel Center's undeniably and steamy intense energy coffee. We were no doubt wired. My kidnappers wanted to see just how much coffee I could drink because they were placing bets about how fast each one could make my heart race!

Because they stole me so unexpectedly, you will see me in my hippy moo-moo dress, without makeup and with my eyeglasses on....unshowered. Yes, I was kidnapped right before I was to get all bada$$ primped and therefore ready to mount my chrome steed and gallop west.

(Besides being kidnapped by a rock n roll band and forced to sit in the passenger seat of an SUV enroute to the world's largest motorcycle rally with my motorcycle locked away in a trailer PURE TORTURE!!!! OMG, these videos are a rare glimpse into the unkept, schlep at home look -- however, I did wear fabulous shoes.)

THE FACTS: The captors

Jasmine Cain Beeeech. A notorious head-banging rocker chick and NO patience aka Pixie with an Axe

Jeffro Bo Dean a guitar slashin fool aka SLASHER

The captured Sasha aka Chrome Cowgirl.

Miss Tigerlily, Sasha's beloved Harley-Davidson hidden in the captor's gear trailer.

So without delay, let me share with you below some random video secretly captured about our journey to Sturgis.

VIDEO 1 - about the kidnappers. see me delirious from too much coffee. I'm forced to speak about the good time I'm having... what do they want from me? !!!

VIDEO 2 more about the kidnappers. . .she's the diva kidnapper. oh, and they made me wear 7" stilletto heels so that I couldn't run fast.

VIDEO 3 trying to catch some wind! i can't take it anymore as we speed down interstate 90, past the Badlands, without my trusty motorcycle roaring between my legs! I try to escape but they pumped me with so much caffine and Jeffro keeps threatening cruel tickle sessions; just the anticipation of another tickle attack makes me convulse in laughter! Those who are feverishly tickelish know what I'm talking about!

VIDEO 4 the kidnappers owning the road by scaring drive-by folks. An example of "owning the road," by Jasmine Cain - beeeeatch.

VIDEO 5 skillful kiddie carousel riders at Wall Drug. Or maybe not. I try to make light of an insane situation....this is just how bad I need to ride...you see how I'll ride anything at this point so I hop on a kiddy ride with the two kidnappers. Jeffro had to get off of it tho, 'cause the ride wouldn't move bein he's such a strappin' lad.

VIDEO 6 the kidnappers testing my skill at water spout trials. I know I won this...but I had to let the kidnapping diva Jasmine win or else who knows what she'd do with sweet Tigerlily!

VIDEO 7 the kidnappers try their hands at some games. they ain't so lucky as they think! I withheld my lucky charms. Then, a little babe barters and diva kidnapper girl gets what she wants in the end while Jeffro Bo Dean tries to prove his might.

uploading....please return later on to check it out...

VIDEO 8 JC breaks a boy's charm just because she can, and then wraps him up in pink...hear the tale he has to tell to avoid being kidnapped and turned into a rock n roll stage slave.

uploading....please return later on to check it out...

VIDEO 9 Victory as the rock star kidnappers are tortured with shockingly out of tune instruments and left utterly confused. I flee whilst their ears melt. And away I go!

uploading...please return later on to check it out...

See below the ransom photo: FOLKS, I NEVER DID FIND OUT WHAT THE RANSOM WAS! Jeffro had a hard sharp object pointed in my lower back. I never did find out if that thang was loaded or not. He said to me while we took the photo, "Look happy, don't move, or else it'll be a double banger!"

Click the ransom photo to enlarge.

Freespirit unleashed....

Yes, it's that time of the year to unleash my freespirit on the road to Sturgis. This year is going to be some real fun. I'm filming for TWO projects. More on this later.

It'll be great to see my "family" out there. The freespirit unleashed is able to make deep friendships with folks that share a common bond: an insatiable love for the open road and all things two or three wheeled. Yes, this deep bond makes for everlasting family-style friendships.

I will be blogging about my experience along the way, and making my own little Flip video film footage for your entertainment.

Tomorrow Jasmine Cain, Jeffro, and me are caravaning up to South Dakota. Jasmine hails from cattle ranch land up there. She and I are going to ride horses on her family property, too. I don't think I'll get much time for music fun because filming is going to be fairly demanding on my time, but no matter...it'll be great.

I'm going to bring along my CD with the latest single Ridelicious which is being mixed and mastered over the next two weeks. Finally! It will then be debuted to the world after the book is released which is now on August 18th, not the 15th. Maybe Jasmine will play Ridelicious as her call to stage song....wink!

The last month has been tough. I've been grieving my daddy Poppi so hard core...it's been really a deeply moving experience. I don't care how spiritual one is, how quiet and centered you can make your soul, when a parent who you adore departs in physical form and then you finally realize it, holy cow. Tsunami of emotions and tears. Poppi departed in April...and all this time I had been stoic, not wanting to experience that huge wave that lay waiting behind my eyeballs. A nice pastor said that as soon as I felt it was time, to let it go. My Godmother also encouraged me to feel everything, go through it and don't fear.

So it took all this time. I wasn't ready. Couldn't face it and wanted to deal with it by not dealing with it. And then finally, last week, BANG! In the middle of the book store, the freespirit was unleashed and I began sobbing my soul to the point of turning inside out. I fled the store came home and collapsed into a heap. This lasted a long long long time. Then I fueled the flames more by looking at photos, reading Poppi's writing, all those kinds of soulful things...dang! Then these feelings led to me missing my family on supersonic levels. I pine to go back home to New York to be with every family member, be with my everlasting NYC friends who always have a comforting word accompanied by good food and dessert. You see, to reach out to the family meant to deal with the deep-seated grief that lay waiting to be released. Too much!

Until now.

I feel more peaceful than before, indeed. But there's always another wave to wash over me hanging in the background. Especially whilst trying to plan some sort of wedding. No Poppi in physical form to walk me across the patio in my backyard. No Poppi to physically waltz me around the patio to some sort of daddy's girl country ballad. Yes, he'll be there in spirit.... sigh, okay. There's no date set as of this time. Maybe soon.

This ride to Sturgis will be good. Contemplative and fun. Wall Drug hilarity. Badlands intensity. Black Hills spirituality. The freespirit unleashed to BE.

Having finally faced the initial tsunami of grief that had slowly risen over the last few months was a measure of letting go so Poppi's freespirit can equally be unleashed.

Unexpected Blessings

Unexpected blessings happen.

They appear. Most unexpectedly.

They can appear when your heart is so broken, into bits. You feel lost. You're empty.

And then, like a rose appearing in the desert...there is a bloom. A blessing.

You look around like, Holy cow, how did this get here? You may get suspicious. Impossible, you think.

But it is possible. Unexpected blessings are highly probably, too.

Lord, bless me with the blessings you have in store for me and remove from me the nonblessings that'll curb me from living maximum overdrive for YOUR WILL. All things are abundant in YOU.

There are unexpected blessings coming because that's our divine birthright and let's pray for the reduction of ego and the gift of awareness to welcome the opportunities.

Good news: My book cover is changing - thanks to GOD working through my mighty editor and my kevetching - and the cover will now be far better than I could have imagined, too....

Biker Chicks Kick A$$ xo

I'm encouraged. Yes, I was reminded that biker chicks are strong and we kick butt. We ride the sky of strength. We are stardust. We are golden.

So, wait 'til you hear my new song Ridelicious. Last night I stayed up 'til wee early am hours mixing and doing percussion work and loops. My goal is to make a 7 minute club version of the tune next. There will be two versions.

The brotherhood and sisterhood is pumping me with loving energy. I'm aglow with ONE love from all of you. I hope I do the same for you....I know that is my purpose in life, to inspire, to encourage, to be.

We biker chicks kick a$$. Let us rise above and lift our wings and ride, as the chicks from Detroit say.

Thank you, my loving motorcycle family - for your words of encouragement and for your loving light. You have uplifted this sister's heart and made merry with my soul.

Peace, Love, and ROAMance,
Sasha

Making Peace....a lesson in crocheting love.

Now, I am making peace with this odd moment in my life. This bazaar month of April.

Making way for some deep soul work and healing now while I grieve my daddy.

I have written a long, personal journal about this month of April. It is now a short story that I will publish maybe next year.

Last night I had a deep conversation with my beautiful Godmother, Yeshoda, who owns a spiritual growth school in Florida. It was a breakthrough. You see, she and I really do not know one another that well. But we do on a soulful level as it turns out.

Last night, I just freakin' sobbed my eyes out over the enormous emotions I was feeling at the loss of my daddy; I had to forgive myself for being so blind with desire, at the stupid loss of income and money and time spent trying to do something awesome for my beloved motorcycle life through a contest that just wasn't worth it; I just have to be and feel all the emotions that are all tangled up right now instead of being stoic and holding back.

Yes, so last night I screamed on the river bank here in Nashville into my hands I let flow all the loss, the craving for my daddi Poppi, the anger I feel at myself, all of it...but there is more...there is more to this grieving process than I could ever imagine.

Grieving is the art of everything you feel in your little painbody rushing at you at once, all tangled up in the spirit of the loved one who is watching from the otherside encouraging you to be a better person, sit tall in the saddle of your life, abandon all the things that tear you from your center, your truth. They become your guardians to encourage you to evolve, bust through the membrane of fear, falsehood, and away from those dark characters and situations that do nothing but tear you down and keep you from your evolution and betterment.

I'm on a mission now. Today, I'm working on my book edits which are just so overwhelming, but I'm approaching it slowly and purposefully, like an artist may correct a canvas. This book is so important to me even though it may be just a git-er-done product to the publisher. It's my works, a legacy that I leave behind for all the world to enjoy...through which to be inspired.

Today, I'm working on my music...because it's the place where I can be wild and free like on my motorcycle...jam out and be a rock star and dream.

Today, I'm back on my cleanse program, cleansing all the toxins out of my body and fasting. Releasing the toxins from bitter foods and bitter experience -- freeing my body to experience deep JOY once again through good vibrations.

Yes, my friends, I take you with me on the healing journey -- but you be on your journey too. I will be your example that you too can barrel through the adversity to evolve as a higher spirit and wilder human.

Love,
Sasha

All in Good Time.

I think "All in Good Time" is going to be the name of my next song. This is what was blessed upon my heart this morning. What does it mean?


Let's take the word ALL - it suggests the sum or total, entirety


IN - inside of something, within


GOOD - positive, right, uplifting


TIME - the moment where preparation meets opportunity.


Our moments if we stick to our goals, to our purpose are fulfilled no matter where we are in our journey. As long as we are on OUR roads. The roads we own. OUR own paths.


These past few weeks I feel ripped from my center. Totally shaken up. Losing my Father is something I just can't seem to grasp no matter how much spiritual perspective I wash over this reality. It's my daddy and he's no longer on Earth. It's my daddy and he won't be walking me down the aisle for my hitch day. I know, I know, he'll be there in spirit. But, it's not the same as seeing my smiling Daddy Poppi standing there with his white hair all slicked back and beard and mustache meticulously groomed proudly in arm with his wildest child in the white, stripper-look meets flower-child, bridal gown, with all the family and friends surrounding me.


This I cannot seem to process. I cannot have a first dance with my Poppi, to the song that I would write for the occassion. God, my heart. It's just breaking and I need to be very strong and whole. It's like there's this gigantic ocean of emotions hanging out just behind my eyeballs and if I think too long about it, or look at photos of Poppi, I'll burst. So, for now, I cannot do either. It's overwhelming indeed. It looks like, I'm not grieving very well. Your probably right. My neighbor, Iva, printed out some how-to information because I was beginning to feel like a crack addict with no crack -- nervous, jumpy, combing my hand over my head, feeling my face, pacing, mood swingin' - a mess. Because I'm holding back this wave. I can't bear it, therefore I can't write too much about my Pa. "Pa" was the name I called him for a spell when I was little, because that's what Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie called her daddy. I even made this ridiculous bonnet for myself on my mother's sewing machine and would follow my "Pa" around and do "chores."

Anyway, my beautiful friends and family, I'll take you all along for the planning of this biker/musician wedding affair that will be like a Renaissance festival meets Billy Idol white wedding. I don't know when I shall start the planning. I'd like the wedding for September. It will be in the backyard here at the Lassiter ROCKS homestead. Yes, All in Good Time.

[stuff about my book challenges removed. it all worked out excellent. the publisher is honey to my soul - he understands respect for the artist.]

Another event I must overcome is the super oddity of this creepy Miss Sturgis contest that I put so much time and effort into. It proved to be just another commerical act in our precious motorcycle lifestyle that chips away at authenticity. This time it was a slap in the face to female riders and rally go-ers, especially me who invested time and knowledge to benefit the contest committee, encouraging them with new ideas, answering their questions, helping to establish a platform to make their contest an authentic avenue for the motorcycle industry sponsors seeking outlets through which to promote their product to the vast Sturgis audience. The contest would be a viable contender in the business, and it would be a marvelous example of truth in beauty = beauty in motion: the female motorcycle enthusiast and rider who is a Sturgis Motorcycle Rally attendee.


Amazing that the female motorcycle rider population is the FASTEST growing market in the industry and we are totally underserviced in the advertising arena. I mean, WE ride, we attend rallies, WE purchase motorcycles, parts, accessories. More and more women are customizing, learning to build, pick up a welding torch, it's a burgeoning and exciting market! We LOVE riding as much as our windbrother!


The female motorcycle rider has very little opportunity in the mass advertising, mass visual, to promote the sisterhood, afterall it's only recently that we began getting cool riding attire specifically suited for female riders, made by women who know what to design. It's only recent that these garments are being so heavily promoted, and thus purchased by the female ridership at large. How strange. Women have been riding since motorcycle were invented, and still, it we are considered newcomers to the lifestyle in the eyes of corporate giants. We are considered fringe minorities, which is so ridiculous. We are ignored and not considered sexy enough, sassy enough, hot enough; so the corporate giants recruit booty call girls to pose or random celebrities and teach 'em to ride in order to represent the femme fatale prowess roarrring. There is NOTHING more sexier than a real female motorcycle rider blasting along the road or the race track on her own motorcycle, truly living and breathing the lifestyle as an extension of her femininity. Rock that! Steady as she rolls! You can't manufacture HER truth, HER reality in a POSER who doesn't CARE except for HOW the IMAGE will promote her personal endeavors that have nothing to do with enjoying the ride and being a member of the 'hood!


However, it's time, high time, that the female motorcycle rider be able to receive opportunities that are usually reserved for the booty call girls who adopt the image of the rider but have no affinity to the sisterhood. It's time for sexy female motorcycle riders, who truly walk the walk and talk the talk to have a chance at opportunity and avenues to promote their works of art, their businesses, their presentations through speaking engagements -- at major motorcycle rallies and events.


It'd be interesting if the situation were changed. Sexy, Chippendale dudes as the voice of the motorcycle world, posing on the bikes, but they really didn't ride and had never been to rally. Sort of like a fake Marlboro Man, a fake sexy cowboy who pretends to ride and rope...but all he can do is sit in the saddle, clutch the rope, and hope to GOD the horse doesn't decide to run free.


Yeah, these poser dudes would get all the opportunity that the real Chrome Cowboys should be receiving. Advertising, speaking engagements, appearances, the fabulous opportunity to share their passion for riding and the rallies with the huge, loyal ridership - it would all go to the poser boy; and the real builder, the real rally-riding cowboy, the real enthusiast of the lifestyle who sees riding as an extension of his soul would have to sift through this mockery, see through the poser on the product, to relate to the marketing message.


The real Chrome Cowboy would once again be deprived of an opportunity to share his deep affection for riding and all things motorcycles, with the windbrotherhood and windsisterhood, because the poser would assume that role which would be of great benefit to ONLY the poser because that poser has no relationship whatsoever with the reality of the lifestyle or business and can only pretend what they know, and use the opportunity to drape themselves upon a cool bike to show affinity "look at me!" --- and/or take a crash course in the culture like an outside journalist does a quick study in order to try to speak intellegently about a group of wild chrome cowboys and cowgirls. And all they would do is speak in buzz words and canned terms like talking heads, but they would be talking bodies...aliens once again invading the precious culture.


The rally attendance numbers are down, Harley-Davidson is laying off 700 employees because of their sales losses, and you know what will happen? What happened years ago, and in cycles, the real rider, the loyal windbrother and windsister, will yet again rescue the market at large, because we are dedicated, loyal and deeply passionate about motorcycles and the lifestyle--- it is in our blood, our hearts, our minds and souls...every freakin' second of our lives. It's not just a trend to us; it's not just a phase we go through. We live and breathe the lifestyle. When will the big boys in the corporate world get it? Because of the authentic and genuine members of this culture, including the notorious clubs, all of us, --- we have something the masses want....a walk on the wild side of being true to oneself, and riding your own road, born to be....free to be...a celebration of the core individual, and the truth of human relationship through "family extenstion" through the windbrotherhood and windsisterhood. And it would all go back to, if I have to explain you wouldn't understand. And those that DON'T understand, and COP the image to be cool, will fall away just like a lie is swallowed up by the truth, which is always looming in the shadow of the lie -- to give LIGHT to the real deal.


And these opportunities are ALL IN GOOD TIME. GOOD TIME. Folks, I believe that NOW is the time for the female motorcycle rider to shine, and silouette the great sunrise as she rides into the vast horizon of opportunity that belongs to you, me, and the sisterhood at large. I believe NOW is the time where the windbrotherhood and windsisterhood will save the rally and bring truth therefore kicking out all lies, exposing rip-offs, crushing greed, tossing away everything false -- to the CURB, and then with all this trash off of our roadways, we can smoothly ride as easy rider wanderlusts along the ribbon of truth again and have fun.

All In Good Time, my friends and family.

with love and opportunity,

Sasha xo

Hey Bob, no matter what happened with this contest, you captured my joy for all things motorcycles and Sturgis in these photos and I'm eternally grateful. Too bad I wasn't photogenic enough to qualify for the title. www.sturgisbikeweek.com

A show of LOVE to a biker chick.

I love you all, my friends and family, more than you know. I sincerely apologize for not capturing that Miss Sturgis title for us. I truly thought this contest was something different, a breakthrough that would finally shine a light on authenticity. But it was just another modeling competition in the end. And there’s nothing wrong with that; just don’t bill an event as something it’s not just to attract more contestants. That’s just creepy.

As a final note, herein below I want to share with you the awesome comments that I had received on my Miss Sturgis contestant page. Many thanks to all of you who supported my entry. I so dearly wanted to win this title for YOU the real riders, the real enthusiasts of the lifestyle who have made Sturgis what it is and what’s to come!

In the precious words of Johnny Chop: "Stay Gold." Yes, I had to Stay Gold to my heart and soul and for the love of the true motorcycle lifestyle and relinquish my participation.

And, my dears, I leave you with this thought: "I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve." -- Jeremiah 17:10

I was awarded truth, in the end. http://downtheroadapeace.blogspot.com/2008/04/miss-sturgis.html - read more here. But read the comments below first....just amazing and beautiful. Real, friends....REAL DEAL.

Hi, My sister Kathy (KT Did) loves to ride and told me about the contest. I think it is great that women ride and you inspire others to do so. I have 2 daughters and I hope they ride just like my sister Kathy! Good luck to you. I will tell you what I tell Kathy, ride safe and enjoy the ride!Tom Short Comment by Tom — February 16, 2008 @ 10:56 pm

Sasha,You are such an inspiration to me! Thanks for being such a great role model for what women bikers really are,bad-ass,butt-kick’n road warriors! Ride on my sister of the wind! MUCH LOVE! -warthog36 Comment by warthog36 — February 16, 2008 @ 11:10 pm

Hey, Wind Sister! Best of luck! I voted for ya! You deserve this title and more! I totally agree that the title should go to a Rider Woman. Nothing wrong with being a model or lookin’ pretty on the back, but hey - if you are going to represent the ultimate in motorcycle rallies, you should ride a motorcycle, and ride it in! Judges - I have a suggestion for the contest to make it representative of REAL biker women: Include a bike rodeo and wrenching competition. Let the ladies run what they brung. Lay out H-D’s “final exam” course from the H-D rider course. Each finalist begins by running down a basic service on her bike, including changing oil and spark plugs. Then she runs the course with her newly serviced bike. Best time for a clean service and run (with no leaks or badly gapped plugs!) wins. Love you, Lady! Much aloha, Leilehua Comment by Leilehua "the Wrench Wench" Yuen — February 17, 2008 @ 12:17 am

Sasha…you are a true biker chick and deserve to win this. Go Chrome Cowgirl! Much Luck!!! Comment by Stephanie — February 18, 2008 @ 5:39 pm

You got my vote!!! Rick Fairless sent me your way and he is right…..you definately need to be Miss Sturgis!!! Comment by Debbi Davids — February 24, 2008 @ 8:08 am

Sasha, I would love to catch up & ride across the country with you to Sturgis. That would be a blast & a ride of a lifetime! I think you will win! I also heard about you on the Texas Hardtails show. Charlie Comment by Charlie — February 25, 2008 @ 8:06 am

Sasha’s love for the motorcycle and the inherent spirtuality of the “ride” is not only motivational for women riders but us guys alike. Comment by Jeff C. — February 26, 2008 @ 8:28 pm

Sasha, A tip of the helmet to you milady. I am wishing you the best of luck in this contest. It it time that a “Real” lady wins. This is Sturgis. Biker country. We need a rider to represent us. You ride, you can wrench, you have talent. You live the life, you don’t just observe it. Not to mention that this (and a lot more) is wrapped in a very attractive package. You have my voter for sure. Comment by Uncle Jerry — February 28, 2008 @ 10:27 am

I adore you all, my wind brothers and sisters, for your incredible support and love! I am blessed. xoS Comment by Sasha — February 29, 2008 @ 9:47 am

Hey~ It’s great to see another real lady rider in the contest. I love seeing a fellow brunette who actually logs some miles. Good luck in the contest and ride safe!!! Leah Comment by Leah — March 3, 2008 @ 10:30 am

Hi Sasha, I’ve heard nothing but good things about you from our friend Barb Elmore, and now all these fine people just echo that opinion. We hope to meet you in person this summer. You are a class act and the very embodiment of “Ms. Sturgis” — a true representative of the art, of the lifestyle, of the brother and sisterhood that makes up Sturgis and the extended biker family. If you would like to say hello on our site, please do. There are lots of fine folks there as well. Keep the wind in your hair and the sun on your back, girl.

You totally rock Sasha - and it’s unanimous amongst your friends - that a true biker chick should win Miss Sturgiss - and for that alone you are ahead of all the other posers. Continued sucess in all that you do - you are an inspiration and one very cool young lady and I am honored to be your friend! Comment by Kent — March 5, 2008 @ 2:43 pm

Sasha is the real deal, not some silicone bimbo straddling a bike she couldn’t start, let alone ride. Miss Sturgis should be a woman who reflects the motorcycling spirit, who lives the life, who RIDES. Sasha is that woman. Comment by TwoBuck — March 7, 2008 @ 10:46 pm

As one of the fortunate ones who has met and had the opportunity to get to know Sasha, i can’t say enough about this woman and her commitment to the industry we all participate in. She’s not just a piece of “arm candy” but a true jewel that rides and lives the lifestyle and deserves to named Miss Sturgis. Unlike those in the past that have been named to wear this title, Sasha deserves it because she’s the real thing. She’s always got a place as Ms. Guilty if she wants!Cj at Guilty Customshttp://www.guiltycustoms.com/ Comment by CJ Hanlon — March 11, 2008 @ 6:54 am

Way to go Sasha!!! Sure do miss our chats but so glad to see you happy and having fun! Take care of yourself and good luck to you in all things you do!!! xoxo Susan Comment by Susan — March 11, 2008 @ 8:22 pm

Sweet Girl, congrats on making it this far! And of course, you should have. If the criteria is - being a real woman; as beautiful on the inside as outside; a person representing women at a motorcycle event that actually rides, well, you’ve got it hands down. You’re more than just a pretty face and my pick every time. Comment by Pepper Massey — March 12, 2008 @ 10:09 am

Sasha! How could they pick anyone BUT you for Miss Sturgis? Besides being quite the hottie, you ride to Sturgis, as well as a ton of other places, every year. See you in South Dakota! Comment by Chris Maida — March 12, 2008 @ 1:26 pm

I go to motorcycle events and see chicks pretending to be interested in motorcycles, vying for attention with their transplanted boobies and chihuahua-pitched giggles. I never vote for them. I voted for Sasha. Genuine. Comment by Paris "Mrs. Rat" — March 13, 2008 @ 8:11 am

Cool to the Core - Sasha you have the soul of Miss Sturgis. Always a good time and a great gal. Go Get Em’ Chrome Cowgirl. See You Down The Road.You Rock Comment by Tyler Fyre — March 13, 2008 @ 8:15 am

Sasha and I met in 2000 at the Womens Motorcycle Conference in Athens ,Ohio. She has been my road sister ever since. I would love to see Sturgis finally have a true “bikelady” represent Sturgis Bike Week. Sasha has been out there riding hard and writing books and magazine articles to promote women riding. And isn’t that what Sturgis is all about. The love of riding in the wind. Sasha has it all, beauty, compassion, brains and a voice to share her experience with thousands. If Sasha doesn’t represent Sturgis this year it will be their greatest loss. I love you my wind sister, Gypzy Comment by Gypzy — March 13, 2008 @ 10:37 am

It is about time we get a lady for the Miss Sturgis contest who is actually a “Miss” and actually knows how to ride her own! Isnt a “Miss” contest supposed to be “Miss” and NOT “MRS”??Sasha has the entire package here: Brains, beauty, rides her own and is loads of fun! Come on people lets vote for the best, MISS SASHA!!!! Comment by HDFEVER — March 13, 2008 @ 5:22 pm

Sasha, When I stopped you to give you a hug at the Ocean Center after the Women’s rideI could feel your warm and soulful spirit. I was concerned that you were headed out that day back to Nashville, the weather was pretty bad and we got caught in some nasty downpours and hail. looks like you made it home alright. Thanks for the inspiration and stay true to your course, as I said, have faith and all things will work out. You certainly deserve the title and I know you would bring honor to it because your heart and soul are where they need to be, filled with goodness.

What to say? I totally go for the theory that a biker chick should take the title! Sturgis is all about the bikes … and there’s not a damned thing that says girls can’t ride there own! You go girl! I’ll be watching for you when I roll into Sturgis! Comment by Val — March 14, 2008 @ 4:04 pm

I’m blessed and honored by all of your dear comments. Thank you so much. I feel the same divine light for all of you. Rock N Roll N Motorcycle Soul. Love, Sasha. Comment by Sasha — March 14, 2008 @ 5:40 pm

Hey Sasha! Thanks for letting me know about the site. I voted for you and I’m SOOOO happy that a “REAL” biker chic is in the finals! You’ve definitely got what it takes and deserve to be Miss Sturgis 2008! I hope the judges pay attention to the voters, and if they do, you’ll win it hands down! If you’re ever in my area of TN, let me know. I’d be honored to ride with you! Good luck girl! Comment by annieoakley63 — March 17, 2008 @ 3:45 pm

There are few women in the world like you, Sasha, who are as beautiful inside as they are outside. Your soul! Your heart! Your love! You deserve the title Miss Sturgiss! How about “Goddess of Sturgiss!?” Comment by Susan at the Lake — March 17, 2008 @ 5:10 pm

Make that Sturgis with one S!!! Love from your friend at the lake who cannot spell! Ha ha! Comment by Susan at the Lake — March 17, 2008 @ 5:12 pm

Good Luck Sasha!!! After looking at all the finalist and reading about them, I love the way your true at heart. I agree with everyone else that you should be Miss Sturgis. Your not only a beautiful woman but a true and natural bike rider. You got my vote and I live here in the state of South Dakota.

You Rock Sasha!!! There is NO other woman on the planet that deserves to be Miss Sturgis more than you. You are what “Miss Sturgis” SHOULD BE ABOUT!LOVE YOU!!! Vicki in Denver Comment by Vicki — March 18, 2008 @ 8:07 am

Sasha is Miss Sturgis already in my book! I’ve known Sasha for 2 years now and believe me, you will never find a more, hard riding, chrome loving windchild than this “pretty woman”! Sasha is all heart! She deserves this and more! Sasha’s spirituality and love of her “TigerLilly” motorcycle is not only inspirational for women riders but us “gents” as well. It’s about time that a real woman biker wins. As Miss Sturgis she will be a fantastic ambassador for this country’s finest bike rally. She rides, sings, and writes Motorcycles. Not to mention that this talented little gal is extremely attractive. It doesn’t get any better than her. I am wishing you the best of luck in this contest, Sasha. Much love your way, JB Comment by John Beymer — March 18, 2008 @ 8:32 am

Sasha, Since the day we met I thought you were just so sweet and honest. Not only are you beautiful on the outside but equally on the inside. Your love and devotion for motorcycles and the culture makes you the best candidate for Miss Sturgis. I know you will win and bring a new meaning to the contest!!Hugs,Elisa Comment by Elisa — March 18, 2008 @ 9:06 am

It’s about time the rest of the world sees that you’re ALL THAT. Just remember me when you’re a star, kay??? Love, BK Comment by Bobkat — March 18, 2008 @ 9:39 am

I voted for Sasha and I hope she becomes Miss Sturgis. I’m bored with the gals with the fake everything. Sasha is the real deal… Beautiful, spirited, talented, lives for riding,a true friend and not fake anything. Comment by Hugh King — March 18, 2008 @ 11:04 am

Didn’t they pick you yet? What are they waiting for? The other girls are pretty too, but you’re pretty AND you’re one of us. How much rake is on that Sportster you ride all over the place? What better combo for Miss Sturgis? Comment by Chris Maida — March 18, 2008 @ 12:36 pm

Go Sasha! You are the epitome of freedom and beauty! Tough enough to ride tens of thousands of miles, and still a musical flower child. Wish there was more than one of you, but then I wouldn’t have known who to vote for, would I! Comment by Zipper — March 19, 2008 @ 5:47 pm

Sasha Mullins is the sweetest, most loveable girl I know, and she simply HAS to be the best candidate for Miss Sturgis! I think no one can equal her love and passion for riding. She has no peer in what she has done for women riders: authored and published two books, starred in at least two Discovery Channel biker movies, and she is multi talented! Sasha regularly attends the Sturgis Rally, and she does not just walk in or motor in as the locals do, neither does she arrive as a passenger on a bike or trailer her ride as the “softies” do. She RIDES to the rally, driving her own bike — all the way from New York City a few times and currently from Nashville, TN. Comment by Buddy Ford — March 19, 2008 @ 8:20 pm

Sasha is one of the most dedicated riders I have ever come across in 50 years of riding. She is the “real deal” and a soft yet immensely strong person. She is fearless and intense. She is everything and more that Miss Sturgis should be. She is a natural winner and leader and will be a great example of all that is at the core of Sturgis Bike Week. You go get ‘em Sasha!! GM Comment by George — March 20, 2008 @ 1:14 pm

Sasha crossed my path at last years Rally. She is truly a free spirit on a journey of life that few others enjoy except on their annual pilgrimage to the Rally. And to her spirit I share this quote. “Only those who take leisurely what the peopleof the world are busy aboutcan be busy about what the people of the worldtake leisurely.”Chang Ch’ao Sasha Mullins is Miss Sturgis Comment by Dan the Acupuncture Man — March 21, 2008 @ 11:53 am

Sasha rides! That in itself should make her Miss Sturgis! She’s also someone that makes me think, where has she been all my life? The only problem now is that I’m old enough to be her Father! She’s got my vote. Paul Comment by Paul Kireyczyk — March 23, 2008 @ 8:41 am

Sasha Mullens is the comsumate chrom cowgirl. I’ve never met any one in my 18 years going to Sturgis or the other rallies that can compare to her love of the saddle.When I first saw Sasha it was on a TV documentary of a small group of women riding around the country. She was a natural on screen. Then when I met her in person I was very moved by her sincerity of her love of the motorcycle community. This I saw reflected in her music, her writing, her home, her friends, and in her supportive man.I feel that that Sasha should be crowned Miss Sturgis, because she would represent the honor with dignity, beauty, knowledge, humor and talent. A rare combination! Comment by Dian Marshall — March 24, 2008 @ 7:46 am

From one wind sister who knows what it takes to be a true rider, Sasha deserves to win this contest to prove that women on motorcycles are sexier and stronger than normal women. Shasha just isn’t a pretty face and a hot bod, but a wonderful free spirit on two wheels and encompasses everything Sturgis is all about: bikes, fun, babes, and a FAMILY of riders. If she isn’t chosen, I highly doubt the agenda of the judges. Comment by Brittany Morrow — March 25, 2008 @ 7:46 pm

If the roadrash queen has your back then you got my vote…You got this girl..The total package… Comment by Chad Thomas — March 25, 2008 @ 8:22 pm

go get em girl! I’m so tired of pulling up somewhere and people being like “You’re too pretty to be a biker chick”. Just because we’re strong and we like to ride on our own instead of behind a man (sometimes ) doesn’t mean we can’t be beautiful too. Comment by Ashley — March 25, 2008 @ 9:05 pm

Gotta love a biker chick… you an insperation to all female riders! You deserve to win!!!! Comment by Monika — March 25, 2008 @ 9:16 pm

Sasha you truly are the ideal candidate for Miss Sturgis 2008. You have accomplished so much and it should be a requirement that all contestants be able to operate and know their way around a motorcycle. Best wishes and we are rooting for you!!! Comment by Cristal — March 25, 2008 @ 10:55 pm

It should be required that a woman who is intering this contest should ride her own bike and not just one that sits and poises on it.. You go girl, from one biker chic to another… You got my vote!!!!!!! Comment by Paula — March 26, 2008 @ 4:20 am

Sasha,Nice surprise to hear from you today, which brings me here. I have reviewed the images and comments from the other contestants and I am sure that the content of your character, the sincerity of your actions, and the absoloute true belief you have in this life will no doubt shine through and make you the first in show! You are to be the Sturgis Ambassador, to represent women who ride through the entire year to follow. I have faith that you would be one who would make good work of the position and use it for the good of everyone. You are bringing a level of dignity to this contest representing women who love to ride. It seems to be part of your spirit.

When I think of a Miss Sturgis the only image I get is Sasha. She’s got beauty, brains and she rides her own bike. I think she puts more miles on her bike in a single season than most riders put on in their entire lives GO SASHA! Comment by Alan — March 29, 2008 @ 10:24 am

I believe that when you come to Sturgis and the Black Hills you come for the best experience of Brotherhood and Sisterhood of bikers, the most beautiful riding of any rally in this great country………..What better person to represent that spirit than Sasha……..She embodies the spirit of a true biker in every way, and on top of that she is beautiful, look at that smile, at that glow…..Sturgis doesn’t need another pole dancer/model to represent the Rally they need a woman who represents and lives the spirit of Sturgis…………Sasha has for years, it would be perfect to have her represent all of the bikers when she rides into Sturgis on her own Bike, all the way from Nashville to be Miss Sturgis………Let the other contestants meet her and ride all the way in………Cheers!

Wow! If I were judging, it’s no contest…Sasha wins, hands-down! Good Luck… Comment by Greg Rhodes — April 2, 2008 @ 7:51 am

Sasha sould be Miss Sturgis because of her dedication to biking. I have known her for many years now can’t imagine anyone more qualified to represent the ever popular Sturgis Rally which I have attended for many years. Sasha not only has a radiant beauty and a warm sincere glow but a personality and a love for riding that I have rarely seen in my 40 plus years of riding motorcycles over this country. She would be a true representative of the biking community with the brains to be able to talk to people and represent Sturgis as it should be represented and not just a pretty face that knows nothing about the love of riding that we all enjoy together. Sasha has authored a book and has appeared on television shows over the years representing the biker community so she is very well known to many people and is not just looking for modeling opportunities as some of the other girls are. Sasha would be the very best pick of all of the candidates that you have for this year. Show everyone that Miss Sturis is a real biker this year. Comment by Tom Guest — April 2, 2008 @ 11:35 am

Sasha! On behalf of Sisters With A Throttle Motorcycle Club & the staff of Torque Vixens Magazine, we wish the BEST OF LUCK!!! You a TRUE lady biker and represent US WELL!! Hopefully we’ll get a Sister that actually TWIST the THROTTLE!!!! —Sisterly Love!! Comment by Sisters With A Throttle MC/Torque Vixens — April 3, 2008 @ 12:24 pm

Congratulations on making it to the finals! I’m glad to see that someone who is actually a part of the biker community is in the final running for Miss Sturgis. I met Sasha while camping out on the Iron Pony Ride back in 1999. The ride went from Milwaukee to Sturgis, Sasha originally road in from New York City. Sasha has been riding her custom sportster “TigerLily” to rallys throughout the country. She’s the author of two books pertaining to the motorcycle culture and lifestyle. I felt it an honor to vote for her in this contest. If anyone can represent the biking community as Miss Sturgis, Sasha is the gal!!! Comment by Skip — April 3, 2008 @ 4:39 pm

I have known Sasha for about 8 years, meeting her at Rally. Since that time, Sasha has been coming to my home in Lead, SD every year, bringing her spirit & love for the ride. Her busy schedule NEVER kept her from her true friends throughout the years. I am SO tired of seeing “Playboy T & A” shots of women who have NO idea what it means to represent Sturgis. Have they ridden, as Sasha has, from New York to Sturgis, weathering the rain, hail, no accommodations, sleeping on the side of the road? Sturgis began, & should ALWAYS be about the rides through Paha Sapa, hill climb, races & comraderie between us all & Sasha with her great attitude & love of the Black Hills is the ONLY contestant that should be considered. She RIDES Tiger Lily & Comment by Dena Sheets — April 13, 2008 @ 5:40 pm

Wow!If your into someone real. If your into a girl with a head on her shoulders. Who is true and down to earth. Someone who hasn’t lost thier sense of humor and who is working as hard as anyone to do and get where she wants in the world. Someone who’s beauty shines from the inside. Making her gorgeous both inside and out. Then Sasha is your girl. Pleanty of flakes out there. Sasah just doesnt happen to be one of them. I know I am glad, and feel priviaged to have met her. I feel like I have a new true and real friend. Awsome girl. Awsome person. Good luck in everything Sasha! xoxoMark Comment by Mark Nelson — April 15, 2008 @ 10:02 am

Sasha, I am utterly disapointed at who they picked. You should have won, representing the true beauty of riding and Sturgis, but they could have at least picked someone more “qualified”!! The Miss Sturgis does seem like a beautiful girl but this isn’t a Miss American Beauty Pagent!
