Dirty Girl's Motorcycle Photos
Since retiring from racing in 2009, I've noticed a lack of road-side-photographers! At the end of a racing weekend I nearly always had a cd of images to post, but now that I'm mostly a street-rider, I'll have to find new ways to capture images for this site - updates will be coming soon!

The fifth wonderful season of vintage motorcycle road racing on the Honda NS250F. A great year for women in vintage motorcycle racing too; there are more of us now then ever. My racing season had a slow start with bike preparation delays, but Mosport and North Bay were great rounds of racing to finish off the season. Photos and updates from each round: Quinte TT - Mosport Vintage Festival - North Bay Runway Romp

Team Dirty Girls on Hondas, Andrea, Aliki and Barb, take on the Mad Bastard Scooter Rally and we rock! All members of the team finished in the top 15, out of the 75 scooters entered; we're the first ever team of women to finish in the Straight Jacket Class for 50 cc scooters. We had a fantastic ride, spending most of 22 hours and 22 minutes pinned wide open and running at redline. Team members reports and photos: Andrea's Report - Aliki's Report - Barb's Report

DirtyGirl Motor Racing, with the help of the Speid Motor Co., is preparing a new bike for the 2009 racing season a 1989 Kawasaki 4 cylinder 4 stroke 250 cc; the ZXR250. I'm returning to the more familiar world of four strokes, where parts have names I know, and even bits I don't know the names of look familiar.

The 2008 racing season is a great year for the NS250 and I, despite a very wet summer by Canadian standards, and too much rain racing by my personal standards. See the pictures from Quinte TT - Mosport Vintage Festival - North Bay Runway Romp.

With the NS250 undressed for the winter, I took the opportunity to record some digital images documenting the mostly-original condition of the bike.

2007 Racing Season Story & Photos
Another season of racing on the wonderfully reliable NS250F, and some great trackdays too. The 'Team Dirty Girl' endurance racing team welcomed a new team-mate, Laura, aboard the little Honda for another 'all women' entry into the Mosport endurance race for the third year running. Other highlights of the 2007 racing season include the 'Mad Bastard' scooter rally organized by CMG Online. Read more about the 2007 season.

2006 Racing Season Story & Photos
The NS is really growing on me, it's light, agile and very reliable. I missed St.Eustache again, but I ran the Ontario rounds of the VRRA, including the endurance race at Mosport with team-mate Aliki. Read the 2006 Racing Season Story for all the details and photos too.

2005 Racing Season Photos
The NS 250 is different than anything else I've had on the track, skinny tires, narrow and light chassis, 2-stroke power; all new to me. I'm tip-toe-ing around Shannonville at a trackday in July in the photo on the right.

Me 'n' Rex toddle around Shannonville... I love all those combination left handers on the long track configuration, I think it's my second favorite track next to the Road Course at Mosport.

Dirty Girl is a Cover Squirrel?
No, wait, a cover girl?
NO Way - C'mon, a 5 foot 2 cover girl that doesn't wear make up?
OK, I see, it's a motorcycle magazine... still, the fashionistas of world must be horrified.
Even considering the helmet...
