MEET THE ARTISTS: Sarah Winslow

Sarah Winslow - aka @wild__belle and @no_Life_ till_leather is a lot of things - one of which, is a leather artist.

Sarah makes killer leather items - things like wallets, flasks, knife holsters, and more. She does a lot of custom work, and is definitely finding her stride in the leather world!

When Sarah isn’t making leather items, she’s drag racing her Harley-Davidson® Sportster, learning to flat track race, or even riding the Wall of Death.

Wait, what?! The wall of.. DEATH? Yep, Sarah spent last summer joining the ranks of women who have ridden the WOD - a vertical, wooden structure, where riders seemingly defy gravity by riding motorcycles and go-karts on the wall while onlookers look over the top. If you haven’t seen a wall show, DON’T miss it. Maybe you’ll catch Sarah on her go kart on the wall!

You can check out and buy her work on Etsy!

MEET THE SPONSORS: Bell Helmets

Bell Helmets. They’ve been around forever - well, since 1954. Roy Richter formed the company in a garage - purpose built safety gear, for anything with wheels. They currently make automotive, motorcycle and even bicycle helmets!

Watch any movie on vintage racing, or check out old photos of auto racing, or motorcycling. Chances are, they’re wearing Bell. From Ford racing the GT40 in Le Mans, to chopper guys in 3/4 helmets in the 70’s - you’ll see the small oval with the red BELL lettering.

Bell’s current lineup has something for everyone - from the Bullitt - our personal favorite, with it’s wide face opening and retro styling - to the Eliminator and Race Star, which are more race-inspired. The Custom 500 is the classic 3/4 open face style, a long time favorite in the motorcycle world. They even have the super classic Moto-3 Dirtbike helmet, harkening back to the original 70’s Moto helmets, along with the fresh style of the Moto-9.

Some of our artists are painting custom Bell Bullitt helmets for the show, so stay tuned to see what an artist can do with such an amazing helmet platform!

Check out everything Bell has for motorcycle helmets HERE!

Huge thanks to our friends at BELL for being a part of the show!!

MEET THE SPONSORS: Memphis Shades

“What fairing is that?”

Probably the most common question we see on any post of a motorcycle that has a fairing. Period.

Often times, that question is easily answered - often, it’s a Memphis Shades fairing.

Now, I was a skeptic. I hadn’t ridden a motorcycle with a fairing - ever. I didn’t think it could be some magical accessory like some claimed.

Then I rode a bike with a fairing.

“WOW. Ok, it is magic.” I thought. They were right.

A fairing, or windshield, massively cuts down on the wind you feel pushing against your chest. It cuts down on the wind, pushing your head and helmet around. And it provides a lot of style - and a great opportunity to customize your ride.

Memphis Shades offers fairings for a lot of models, and are well known for their aftermarket fairings for Harley-Davidson® models.

We are very excited to have Memphis Shades sponsoring our show!

Check out their site at MemphisShades.com and on Instagram and Facebook!

MEET THE SPONSORS: Harley-Davidson® Motorcycle Company

Legendary.

The Harley-Davidson legacy is incredible - founded in 1903, coming out of a small garage. Now, they’re one of the most recognizable brands out there, and by far the most popular, and long-running motorcycle company.

H-D® has set the bar on the cruiser motorcycle - from the early days in board track racing, to the war time "Knucklehead” WLA models, to the 70’s era choppers, and finally today’s Milwaukee 8 engines.

When you think of a chopper, you might picture the Easyrider, American flag draped Panhead - an FL model. Maybe you first picture a war era hero riding a WLA, painted in standard army green, or maybe you picture an XR Sportster® model sliding around the flat track.

Maybe you grew up and your father rode a FLTR Road King®, or a Fatboy® - FLSTF. Or maybe, your mother rode a motorcycle - as many of us remember as a kid!

Whatever you think of when you think of a Harley-Davidson, we can guarantee you think of an American made motorcycle.

We’ve had the chance to ride a few different models of the latest H-D’s - a Sportster Iron 1200, a Softail® Street Bob, a Softail Heritage Classic, and we have to say - the new models are incredible to ride.

We are honored and excited to have Harley-Davidson on board as our presenting sponsor - H-D has shown their continued support of women in motorcycling, and we are so happy to have them on board!

Please show them your support by checking out the latest in motorcycles and motor clothes over on Harley-Davidson.com and giving them a follow on Instagram and Facebook!

Our creator rides a customized Harley-Davidson Sportster, which she bought from her mother!

MEET THE ARTISTS: Erika Genevieve Clark

Meet Erika!

She’s a photographer and designer, hailing from Columbus, Ohio.

Erika’s got a killer setup - from her Harley-Davidson® Sportster with a cool custom paint job, to her square body GMC truck in a complimentary orange, we’ve been drooling over her toys for a while. She just sold her first bike, a vintage CB350 to a high school girl who’s just learning to ride - the ideal scenario when selling any bike!

Erika shoots for brands - like an ice cream brand that makes us crave a cone every time we see her shots, along with a lot of killer portrait work too.

We can’t wait to see what she comes up with for the show!

Be sure to give her a follow, and check out her website, too!

MEET THE ARTISTS: Nerissa Dawn

Meet Nerissa - way more than just a pretty face, Nerissa is an Engine Calibration Engineer for our favorite motorcycle company - Harley—Davidson!

Nerissa does a bit of everything - she’s an engineer, who is working hard to get more women into STEM (that’s science, tech, engineering and math). She’s built motorcycles with the BUILD group, races flat track, and travels, all while laying down the miles on her Harley. Ya know, the one she helped engineer.

Nerissa will be creating a pencil sketch for the show - we can’t wait to see what she comes up with, since she’s half logic-based, and mathematical, while also using her imaginative and artistic right-side brain.

MEET THE ARTISTS: Carla Margeson

Carla is one of the most low key, yet badass women we have met on the road.

Rolling in on her 15” over Harley-Davidson® Shovelhead chopper, candy red with white hot rod flames, it’s hard to not miss Carla. Even more so, because she rides in alongside her daughter, Megan, who rides a black, long Panhead chopper. The family that rides together, stays together, and this has never been more true with these two. Did we mention her husband rides with them?

The family rides long distance every year - to Alaska, across the US, wherever two wheels take them. All on their vintage H-D machines, too.

Not to mention, she’s sort of everyone’s awesome surrogate mother at every event. We consider her family, for sure!

Carla mentioned she never thought of herself as an artist, but she began creating incredible stained glass art - and she’s making something special for the show. We can’t wait to see it!

If she’s not doing that, she’s out on her Harley-Davidson® Sportster® pippin the back roads.

When you see her around, be sure to say hello, you’ll catch that Texas drawl and southern hospitality for sure!

MEET THE ARTISTS: Nicole Andrijauskas

Here’s  Nicole Andrijauskas! (Don’t ask us how to pronounce her last name, though 😉)

Nicole has been around the moto scene a while now, and has been putting out some incredible custom paint jobs - from helmets to tanks, and everything in between.

Nicole was the artist at Babes Ride Out this year providing custom striping on helmets, too! 

If you don’t recognize her right away, it’s probably because she changes her brightly colored hair fairly often! 

Nicole will be showing some cool custom paint at the show this year.
