AmySueSporty- Moto Blog

This trip to New Mexico was for an all female camp and ride event put on by In~Cahoots Moto Community.  The Southwest Quest was located in the Tijeras range just south east of Albuquerque.  I got involved through friends I met years ago on my solo moto trip to California .  The area was insanely beautiful, and I loved being able to ride through the desert again!  The skies are just gorgeous and the roads are prestine and curving up and down... We look like we are having the time of our lives in these photos (because I know I was)  These are the Instagramable and printable ones we have to hang on our wall- photos that we all strive for- Some see my feed and think, UGH more lovey dovey crap from Amy . lol.. or so I've been commented to... It doesn't matter to me- online relationships ARE fake, they showcase the best of times and the most happy, missing what really lies beneath- and you know, all it normally is, is a normal relationship.  Yeah we argue, yeah we disagree- lik

"the best stories start with strangers ending up in an unfamiliar place.. for it doesn't start as an adventure, it begins with a risk" ( Kate O'Connor Morris - 21 days under the sky)      Adventures, trips, quests, rides, motorcycle journeys... call them what you will, but they do something to your soul.  They restart your inner smile.  The sheer determination and strength you can conjure in a long bike trip reconfirms your strength and confidence in every single day.  When I have taken the three specific long, solo, motorcycle trips: 2800-5800 miles, I have never been happier-  Even with drama, and breakdowns, heat, cold, exhaustion...  The miles I have had the privilege to share with strong, powerful, beautiful women have been even more enlightening, freeing, and completely a blast.  The bond you can share with certain people is amazing, and finding your tribe is absolutely empowering!      On my personal bikes alone, I have racked up over 70K miles in the l

Straight away: What is your Distance- how you pack for each trip and if you stay in a hotel or not: Obviously if you are going to stay in a hotel, this blog entry isn't for you.  There is no need to pack as many items, or to plan a route as carefully.. just watch your signs, find your hotel, and kick back momma! I usually travel on the CHEAP... This blog is for someone who is trying to save the money, or find the freedom or nature that comes with sleeping under the stars- with the occasional hack of staying in a hotel or crashing one with a hot tub to relax those muscles! This is meant as a guide to help with packing to camp, at stops, along the side the road, maybe in a parking lot (yes I have a way that isn't too creepy!). And I always, ALWAYS carry a pistol, never had to use it, just have it.  If you are only going to be camping one night, or two; you probably don't need food cooking gear, or 3 different ways to set up a sleeping camp... adjust accordingly. The

Looking from the outside in.. misunderstanding the context.  A brief glimpse into someones life, a snapshot pausing a moment in time.  The subject and meaning of the photo is all in the eye of the person looking at it.  One photo can be looked at by many people and interpreted a million ways. Today, we can look into anyone's life, see a snap shot of their lives and make any assumption about it we want.. and even voice our opinions publicly.  But.. we also have the ability to manipulate and pose that snapshot- into anything we want to portray.. there's a line between real and fantasy, and the skewed perspective , that has been a big controversy in the news lately, and it made me think about my personal situation.  The drastic assumptions and ideas that come from the photos that I take, or what they might convey to someone. My fiance', and I started sharing behind the scenes videos of our photo shoots on my Patreon page: just to show how our shoots go down. In the last 5 ye

Hello, my name is Amy Sue and I'm a modern feminist.  WAIT.. don't roll your eyes and hit the back button... let me explain... I've grown up in unique and privileged generation... I'm not quiet a daydreaming Millennial... but I'm also not a jaded Gen Xer... I fall in this fun little niche called Xennials. "The Oregon Trail Generation" If you get that reference , you probably ARE a Xennial, born between 1977-1985, a mere 25.1 million of us exist in the US.   Good magazine describes Xennials as "a micro-generation that serves as a bridge between the disaffection of Gen X and the blithe optimism of Millennials".    This gives our generation a cynical caution mixed with an energetic buoyancy.. but we don't fall for either ruse.  We tend to make our own calculations, own decisions, and own way, not caring about what society thinks about us, since we were essentially forgotten anyway!! In my opinion, this was a great time to be raised in A

"I like the ones that show your tits better" "Hey babe, i like your tats. do you send nudes?" "hey cutie" *dick pic* *dick pic* (i don't respond) "oops, sorry that was meant for someone else" These are just a few choice messages out of hundreds I have received on social media, maybe in response to a promo photo for a friend's business that was showing some skin, or maybe an artistic nude on a bike with a burnt orange sunset in the back... most innocently, a positive body post to encourage women to be themselves in their own skin, stretch marks, muffin top - love yourself! But these images aren't always regarded as art, or advertisements, or self expression. The comments people can make from behind a computer screen are 'anonymous' and blunt.  The disembodied words just floating around in bubbles: "sweet baby Jesus, yes please" "damn girl you fine, gotta get you on no panty day" "YUM" pub
