Kaylin - BBTrex

Queen of Chaos, Curves & Making Things Happen

I started riding at 17, took a forced detour when life got loud, and eventually found my way back to two wheels—with fewer rules, more intention, and a whole lot more curiosity.

I’ll ride pretty much any road, chase a good view, take the long way home, and happily make a questionable turn just to see where it goes. For me, riding has never just been about getting somewhere. It’s about the freedom, the unexpected moments, and the beautiful chaos that happens along the way.

As co-founder of The Driftless Run, I’m here for the women who ride loud, laugh big, take up space, change direction, and refuse to be told what they’re supposed to look like—or how they’re supposed to show up.

Camping? Still negotiating that relationship. Lighting a fire under badass womxn? Absolutely.

I’m here to build community, unite riders, challenge the rules that were never made with us in mind, and create more room for women to ride exactly as they are—wild, weird, fearless, imperfect, and gloriously themselves.

Basically, I like motorcycles, big adventures, bigger personalities, and a healthy dose of chaos.

And I’m pretty good at making things happen.

Stevie - Reckless Hippie

Mistress of Moonlight & Midwest Mysteries

Riding since 2021 and already 40,000 miles deep, Stevie answers to the call of open roads, bad ideas, and the kind of freedom you can’t bottle. From her first feral run to Sturgis to ripping it east for No Coast Campout in PA, she’s been stacking miles, stories, and soul sisters along the way.

Equal parts dirt-loving hippie and road-ruling witch, Stevie thrives on late nights, loud laughs, smoky campfires, and bikes parked crooked in the grass. After years of manifesting an all-womxn campout in the Midwest, she’s finally conjured it into reality—built by womxn, for womxn, fueled by independence, community, and doing whatever the hell feels right.

She’s ready to ride hard, camp wild, raise a little hell, and rack up miles with you. Bring your bike, your boots, and your magic.

Jessica - Jet

Supreme Velocity Goblin & Official Chaos Promotion Director

Jet travels like a rumor and shows up like a problem (the fun kind). If there’s a good time within a 500-mile radius, she’s already halfway there on her Ducati, treating speed limits like polite suggestions and corners like personal challenges.

Self-proclaimed life of the party and currently our Social Media Chaos Promoter, Jet specializes in turning “we should behave” into “this will make a great story later.” Her hobbies include high-speed decision making, recruiting strangers into questionable adventures, and continuing her highly unverified side quest of training chupacabras (they respect her. Probably).

Camping? Not her favorite. But will she still pull up, complain about bugs, dramatically hate the ground, and then immediately escalate the vibe into absolute mayhem? Every. Single. Time.

Jet doesn’t just join the chaos — she schedules it, documents it, and somehow convinces everyone it was their idea.

Mica

Got her motorcycle license years ago… then casually disappeared into the void in 2020 and came back as something faster, freer, and slightly feral (in the best way). What started as an “I need to get out of the house” moment turned into a full-blown identity: Mica on a bike, chasing horizons like they owe her money.

Now she’s out there hunting down Rustic Roads like hidden treasure, stitching together routes that feel less like directions and more like a calling. Dead ends? Scenic. Wrong turns? Intentional. Middle-of-nowhere? Exactly the point.

As our Chaos Voyager, Mica is the mastermind behind the rides—the one who says “trust me” and somehow leads you to the most unreal views, quiet backroads, and moments that make you forget your phone even exists. It’s not about the destination… it’s about the curves, the calm, and that perfect stretch of road where everything just clicks.

Nature, throttle, and a full tank of “let’s see where this goes”—that’s her version of therapy. And honestly? We’re just along for the ride.

Luciana

Keeper of the Good Vibes & Questionable Adventure Plans

Luciana always knew she wanted to ride. With a little encouragement from her significant other and her son, she finally decided to stop saying “someday” and make it happen. In 2024, she and her son took the MSF course together, and Luciana earned her endorsement soon after. Since then, she rides every chance she gets.

Naturally, once two wheels entered the picture, the adventures followed.

A lover of nature, sunshine, and being outside whenever possible, Luciana has found some pretty creative ways to combine all the things she loves. Case in point: she figured out how to strap her SUP board to her motorcycle so she could ride to the water and paddle when she got there. Because apparently choosing between motorcycles and paddleboards was never an option.

This is Luciana’s first year with The Driftless Run, and she’s already bringing exactly the kind of energy we love—warm, adventurous, curious, and always ready to see where the road leads.

For her, riding is about so much more than the bike. It’s about getting outside, trying something new, finding little adventures, and being grateful for the friendships and connections that happen along the way.

She may be new to The Driftless Run, but she’s already proving that sometimes the best adventures start with a little encouragement, a motorcycle, and a willingness to say, “Sure… I wonder if we can make that work.”
