Rikki "Poison" - President

I started riding motorcycles in November 2006. I thought it was a “mid-life crisis” thing for me so I bought a Sportster 883L and had no idea I would be addicted for life. I rode the Sporty for about six-weeks and then traded it in for a purple Fatboy, which I called Barney. I loved my Fatboy but couldn’t bear to look at it anymore because of some very sad circumstances in May of 2009 so I traded it in and bought my first brand “spanking” new bike the following month in June – a 2009 Street Glide that I call Black Pearl. Although I have not been riding for a long time in comparison to most of the people I know, I can guarantee my passion for it is equivalent if not more. In August 2010, I rode my bike to Sturgis, South Dakota--a trip of a lifetime. So much has happened since November 2006 and the people that knew me from my early beginnings can attest to that!!!

I enjoy a lot of outdoor activities, going to see live music (local bands that play classic/hard rock), riding, cooking, movies, home improvement projects, and just hanging out with family and friends. I’m not really into TV too much unless it is a good movie, motorcycle themed, or home improvement shows. I am a straight-up person, I don't play games, and won't deal with liars. It's not always easy to tell the truth or do the right thing but you have to know right from wrong. Liars are weak people and have no place in my circle.

Respect yourself, respect others, and "do the right thing" always.

Marlene "Ivy" - Vice President

I have a love for motorcycles, tattoos, cooking, and hanging out with good friends. I am a charitable person and am always looking for ways to volunteer and give back to the community. When I became a Chrome Angel back in 2005, all the above just fit together. This gave me the opportunity to share similar interests along with the love of riding and exploring with this wonderful group of women.

I ride a 2002 Harley Davidson Fat Boy. I work in sales and multi-task for a large tile distributor for over 23 years. The rides we have journeyed together and our special bond we all share made for memorable moments for us as sisters. When life gives me unchangeable reality, it’s nice to have my sisters by my side.

Patty "Cherish" - Secretary

I have been a member of the Chrome Angels LMC since 2006. My life changed in 2006 when my husband lost his 7-year battle with cancer. Our close friend, also my Sister Delora, was by our side through this journey and shared her biking adventures with us. I was inspired. Given a mission, and it was here I began a new life owning a Harley and riding with this incredible group of professional women the Chrome Angels LMC. I was given the Road Name “Cherish”, as I learned through my life experience that you have to cherish all that life has given you, as you never know when you will lose it. Life is a Gift. Life is short……… So Live it & Love it with all your heart strength.

I am a proud mother of 3 children, 2 stepchildren, and 8 grandchildren. I am a business owner, and work as an Accounting Professional. I consider myself a strong, independent, compassionate woman with a love of life, and a passion for riding my Motorcycles. I currently own 2 Harley Davidson’s, a 2000 Custom Sportster, and a 2008 Road King Police Edition. I always enjoy my time with my Sisters in the Chrome Angels LMC, both with our charity work and supporting our local brother MC’s. We certainly do have our own good times with our various yearly trips where we get to enjoy ourselves after a nice long days ride. It’s not the destination, but the journey that you ride with wind in your hair and the sun on your chrome! THIS – is my life!

I AM MY SISTERS KEEPER

Tina "Gemini" - Treasurer

I am originally from Oklahoma and I have been in South Florida for 22 years. I am a single mother and have one son 16 years old. I work full-time as a Tax Accountant at a large accounting firm and I also make time to attend classes in the evening at a local college. I always had the desire to ride a motorcycle but never learned how until about 10 years ago when I met Chrissy "Fiesti" (one of my sisters). She encouraged me to take a riding class if I really wanted to learn….so I did. After 2 years of being on a Suzuki to get experience, it was time to get the Harley and now I ride a 2004 Harley Davidson Sportster.

I spent the next few years being a weekend warrior…..then I was blessed to have met Patty “Cherish” last year when she invited me to one of the Chrome Angels meeting. I loved it the moment I walked in the door….it was amazing to finally meet women that loved to ride and they made me feel welcome. Over the past year I’ve rode to more places, met new friends and welcomed more Sisters to our club. The future looks bright for the new Chrome Angels MC, and I’m thankful to be a part of it!!!

Chrissy "Feisti" - Road Captain

I am a proud mother of 3 beautiful children and have an awesome family. Riding now for over 10 years, I have 2 Harley Davidson’s; a 2000 Sportster, and a 2005 Dyna Wide Glide. Independent and high spirited as I am, I was named Fiesti for a reason. I have a love for life and am known for spur of the moment decisions. I ride hard and I ride well.

My first encounter meeting the Chrome Angels was through my sister Tina “Gemini” whom I bonded with because of the children years ago. We grew as friends; we rode together and enjoyed our good times. Gemini introduced me to this wonderful group of women that had strong hearts and a foundation built for women riders, and that is what has now become a part of me. They are my new found family and all I can say is they mean the world to me. I am proud to be “Fiesti” of the Chrome Angels MC.

Rachelle "Dutchess"

I was born on October 28, 1970. Originally from Amsterdam Holland, I have lived in NY, CA, Israel, & Philippines, but FL is my base because I like to be close to mom. I have a younger brother and two step brothers who I adore. Family and loyal friends are hard to find, so I am grateful for whom I have in my life. Life is too short and there are not enough hours in the day. I remember when I was a little girl I fell in love with my neighbors motorcycle. I was such a pain in the butt! I always wanted a ride! A few years later my brother started riding dirt bikes which of course I was right on top of. I remember my first ride jumped over the dune right into a pricker bush well that’s where my journey started. I went from a competitive Equestrian Hunter Jumper (The four legged horse) to the Iron Horse! I love both!

I decided in 2005 I was tired of riding on the back of someone else's iron horse so, I took the course and bought my own. I have a 1998 Honda Magna and I love it! I really have grown out of it, but one day at a time I am sure I will get something else in the future, but I always have to remember where my feet are. I always remind myself: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that's why it's called the present. One day I was talking to a sister Patty “Pepmint”, and I was sharing with her that I wish there were more lady riders. Pepmint invited me on a run with the Chrome Angels! I have never really been a fan of a lot of women, but to my surprise I loved them! They are a bunch of Professional women that all have this common bond of riding. The Chrome Angels MC welcomed me with open arms like I was one of the family. I am very grateful to have them in my life. Here I am with all my sisters I never had... what a blessing. I believe life is not how many breaths you take; it’s the moments that take your breath away.

Francine "Sunshine"

I started my Journey in life in Beverly, MA some 39+ years ago. I was raised a Florida girl and have always loved the fun things in life. I remember the first time I wanted to ride a motorcycle I was 16, so never forget your dreams. Up until a few years ago, every girl I saw on a bike my voice would call to me - I really want to do this!

I lost my mom when I was 18 and have the greatest Dad in the world who had always told me I could be who or whatever I wanted to be. I was his tough little girl! I had to become responsible young in life, and now today I have a 26 year old son who is the most beautiful son a mom can have and sometimes drives me crazy. I am a successful Account Executive at a major corporation for 12 years now. I enjoy and love my job.

I was introduced into this biker world through a man, and when that did not work out, I knew I could still be part of this world and not have to depend on any man to bring me around. So I took a class, bought my bike – a Harley Davidson 2008 Dyna Street Bob, and took more riding skill classes to be more confident in my riding. And as I do in life-- I walk through all fears to become the strongest woman I know! I would never change this part of my life. Although I have had a friendship with these incredible women for the previous year of hanging around, I proudly became a member of the Chrome Angels MC last year, and have grown to love what we have for each other as sisters, which is one amazing bond that is so proudly cherished. I was given the name of “Sunshine” because I like to say I bring a little Sunshine wherever I go!

I strive in life to focus on the positive and not on the negative, and always look for a solution to a problem instead of sit in the problem! We can achieve whatever in life we want as woman as long as we BELIEVE!

Laura "Herc"

I came to Florida from Massachusetts in the 70's. I am blessed with an amazing husband who gives me a lot of freedom and support. My two daughters continually amaze me as they journey into womanhood. I love the great outdoors; I'm awed and inspired by the forest, the beach, the moon and stars, and of course, the open road. I've never been called lady-like and I take "women aren't supposed to do that" as a challenge.

I started riding my own a couple of years ago and I knew it was meant to be. I 'm deeply honored to be part of Chrome Angels MC. My sisters complete me. I've been called a "Renaissance Woman" and I appreciate things of quality from Harley Davidson motorcycles to literary classics. I play French horn in the Broward Symphony Orchestra and I like to sing anything from J.S. Bach to Bob Seger. My motto: Life is GOOD!!!

Kathy - PROBATE

I was born and raised in upstate New York and moved to Florida almost a couple of years ago for a new job. I have always been career driven and love spending time with family and friends. I was fortunate to meet the Chrome Angels LMC in June 2011 through a mutual friend. The Chrome Angels LMC have really been a blessing for me as a newcomer to Florida because I now have a group of AWESOME women that I love hanging around with and we share similar interests.

I started riding dirt bikes with my brother when I was a teenager and I bought my first motorcycle when I was 19 years old. Back in the late 80’s there weren’t very many women riders and I’m so glad to see that this has changed!! I have a Harley Davidson Low Rider and I know I will be racking up the miles with the girls! I enjoy being outdoors, riding my bike, boating, hanging around with friends and family, live concerts, and doing crosswords to name a few. I’m the proud mom of a Rottweiler named Zara and a Blue and Gold Macaw named Bob. My motto has always been work hard, play harder…and of course, keep your knees in the breeze!
