It’s not often we meet a girl who races superbikes. How did you get into it and what’s your favourite part about it?
I started racing bikes about a year ago. My family used to race so I grew up with it. With my boyfriend races superbikes, I decided I wanted to get into the racing scene and that’s where it all started. My favourite thing about racing is that when you’re out there on the track, it’s you, the bike and the tar. You don’t think of anything else while you’re riding, it’s like you’re in your own world and the adrenaline rush you get is amazing!

You obviously have an addiction to speed and adrenaline. Where does that stem?
I have always been adventurous and I like that feeling. I suppose growing up with boys had some influence on that. Being boring isn’t fun, so why not be adventurous and live on the edge.

What are some of the craziest or scariest moments you’ve experienced on the bike?
My scariest moment so far was when I was exiting a corner, accelerated too early and ended up running off the track onto the dirt. My bike ejected me out of the seat, a few feet into the air and that’s when I realised, this is going to be sore. I ended up bruising my right hip and leg, hurt my left shoulder and also had some roasties on my stomach. There is always exciting and scary moments on the track. That’s the other exciting part.

What other extreme sports do you partake in or follow?
I don’t really do any other extreme sports but I do follow the MotoGP and World Super Bikes, but that’s about it.

Would you consider yourself the girl next-door type or the wild type?
To be honest, I’m a bit of both.

How wild can your wild side get?
I’m not shy to do anything. I’m always keen to try new things. My friends always have some crazy stories to tell of me. Especially when I decide to go streaking down the road at 3 in the morning in front of everyone and I tripped and roastied my bum, hands and knees.

Your ultimate weekend. What does it consist of?
My ultimate weekend is a racing weekend. A weekend at the track with friends and good racing is a good weekend for me.

What is your sure fire way to be prepared for winter?
Lots of fluffy socks, fluffy blankets, long boots, hot chocolate and lots of cuddles from my boyfriend.

What attracts you to a guy?
Cologne and how they dress. A guy must smell nice. He must also have ambition, goals and determination, and he must have an adventurous side.

If you where a guy, what do you think would attract you to a girl?
How they dress and how they present themselves. They must be independent, ambitious and adventurous in life.

What was your experience working with Lyle Simes and shooting for this feature like?
Working with Lyle was amazing! He is so much fun to work with. Shooting for this feature was a lot of fun and I felt so comfortable and sexy.

What part of your body do you like showing off the most?
I would have to say my hair. My hair grows very quickly and is very soft. It’s also not too thick and not too thin. Its not easy managing it sometimes but it’s worth it.

How does it feel to be a featured LW Babe?
I feel honoured and privileged to be featuring on LW Mag as this week’sLW Babe.
