- Describe your style
- Cute, sexy and dapper. I want to stand out. To be a little different. And, always with my pins out.

- Heels — I love riding in heels. My favourite pair are from Hugo Boss. They suit any outfit, they're comfortable and stylish.
- Next purchase
- Undecided. Probably a new Arai helmet. I'm a massive fan of Arai helmets — they fit my peanut head.
- Best local ride
- La Perouse loop from Bondi Beach.

- The Putty Road for its long sweeping corners and its end destination in the Hunter Valley.
- Dream riding kit
- A tailored dapper suit for next year's DGR.
- Next motorcycle trip
- Riding through the country outside Milan.
- Why do you like riding?
- I don't 'like' riding, I love riding. I feel free and have a need for speed. It is the adrenalin rush that comes with motorcycle riding.
