Every Angel has two sides. Meet us.
The Angel's practice schedule is grueling. In the cold of winter, they maneuver their bodies during "walking practice" in covered parking garages, memorizing the routines they'll guide their motorcycles through in the warmer months of spring and summer. Year-round this team forms bonds with other motorcyclists, communities in which they perform and, of course, with each other. Spirit and enthusiasm are seen on every team member's face and the effect is contagious to their audiences and the people who meet them.
Members are unique women of diverse occupations, lifestyles and ages. Despite demanding personal schedules, they are committed to the team and devoted to motorcycling.
