god i'm so bad at intros! i feel like the first day of school!
ok here goes nothing:
i'm 27, married, live in indian harbour beach, fl w/my babies (2 chihuahuas) and i'm a social worker part-time at a hospital, part-time for hospice. my third job is roller derby! i'm a blocker for the harbour city nautigals and our travel team the space coast slashers and i'm the league president. no i'm not 300 lbs (i'm only 5'1) and no i dont have anger issues or enjoy getting into fights! :)
i also love going to car shows, pretty much anything with wheels that i can go fast in!
i got my first bike at beachside bikes in indialantic and i'm addicted. it was a rusted up old cruiser out back and i paid practically nothing for it. i'm almost done with the body so once that's done, ill be ordering new parts and will post pictures.
i'm a pretty handy gal, love working w/ my hands. i'm going to be learning pinstripping and am considering taking a basic welding course at the community college here.
i've never found a hobby like this where all i want to do is work on my bike!
i will be posting LOTS of questions as i progress b/c i'm pretty much figuring out most on my own, with the exception of the guy at beachside bikes who said to come over if i get stuck w/ anything.
i'd love to see if there are any events or rides in my area that i could go to, or people in my area. i havent seen much in the way of custom bikes here!
thanks for letting me join!

Hey Penny, don't know if this is near you or something you would be into, I saw you mentioned Space Coast.

Cool to see the Ladies getting involved.
How far from West Palm are you? We do a big ride every three months and there are lots af gals on bikes.

I'm a noobie here too, but, Welcome to the club!
 
Actually...if we're being exact...#4 since we had our first lady sign up way back in the day (LOL) and I think her name was ???? Hooch will remember.
 
it is mine I GOT SKOOL 2 MORROW!!! Never thunk't id say it but I CANT WAIT. If it wasnt for all the girls i would be crying lol.
 
aww man!! if i didn't have to skate in a bout sunday i'd be all over that, even if my bike is in the 'primer stage' :)
i don't think my legs would be able to handle a ride the day before a bout!
i'm only about 2 hours from west palm. my sister lives in pt. st. lucie and she goes to school in w. palm so it's not a bad ride down there. i guess growing up in FL you get used to having to drive at least an hour for anything! i would be totally down for going to WPB for a ride. keep me posted on when they are scheduled. hopefully roller derby and bikes can coexist in my world nicely and i won't have many schedule issues.
thanks for all the nice words of encouragement guys! i can't believe there aren't more girls on here! glad to know i'm not alone!
thanks again
penny
