Motorcycle enthusiast not quitting anytime soon
Theresa Cain rides with Harley’s Angels, women motorcycle enthusiasts who promote breast cancer awareness, research and education.
“I’ve been riding since I was 5 years old. As a kid I had a bunch of different dirt bikes. As an adult I’ve had two street bikes. The last one, a Harley Sportster, I’ve had for 16 years. Her name is Herbie.
“I’d really like to have another one, but finances keep me patching her up. I’ve wrecked her several times. I’ve been picked up by an ambulance three times. I’ve been transported by Life Flight once. But somehow, Herbie rides again and again. And, evidently, I do, too.
“I feel like I have a purpose here on Earth. God hasn’t let me go. I’ve had so many friends who have been mangled or have died, but here I am still fully functional. No brain injuries; not that I’m aware of, at least.
“I still love riding. I’ve been doing it so long, I don’t think you’ll ever take that out of me.”
