Dakota
DiSanto is 16 years old and is in high school. She has been riding
with the team since she was eight. Her 1949 Harley-Davidson has been retired
and is now on display at Scoot n' Blues Cafe on Main Avenue in Durango.
She rides a Fatboy in performances
with the team, but can be seen buzzing around the parking lot on a 1942
45 cubic inch H-D Flathead. She loves performing with the Hardly Angels
and is also active in track. With her busy schedule she still manages to
get A's and B's in school. Shopping and guitar playing take up her spare
time.

Kathy
Tucker is ?? years old going on 20. She rides a 1999 1200 Sportster
that she received for Christmas. WooHoooo!!! She loves riding with the
team. This is her eighth year as an Angel. The skills she has learned as
a team member greatly improved her riding ability. The freedom of riding
her own bike is unmatched by anything she has ever done for herself. Kathy
says, "If I can do it, anyone can. Take the motorcycle safety course and
ride, ride, ride." She loves her family, friends and her angel teammates
for all the support they are to her. Kathy is on the management staff with
Polo Ralph Lauren in Durango, Colorado.

Wooten joined the Hardly Angels in 2002. (Editors note: Actually, Shelley
joined in 2001, broke her leg and worked behind the scenes all that year).

are possible.

Carol
Brumley is half of the group's second Mother/Daughter team (Jessie
is her mom). She has been driving a semi for Pepsi-Cola since 1990. She
started riding mini bikes when she was 7 years old. Carol advanced to dirt
bikes and then came the big bikes. She was 17 years old when she owned
her first street bike, a 1966 Triumph Bonneville 650. She bought her first
Harley Davidson in 1982, a basket case named Floozy. Now she rides a 1996
Custom Softail. Carol's goal is to own a customized Chopper before Dakota
does. Her hobbies are riding jet skis, snowmobiles, motorcycles or anything
else that will go fast. When not riding she likes to play softball and
is loving being a Hardly Angel.

Debbi Jo

DebbiJo
is a "Madhatter" by trade. She is in her 12th year of working for the O'Farrell
Hat Company in Durango, Colorado. She makes high-end beaver fur felt hats
by hand, specializing in "creasing", or shaping the hats. At the age of
36, she went for her first motorcycle ride. That same week she went for
a second ride, and was hooked on motorcycling. By the following spring,
she bought her 1994 H-D FXLR (lowrider) and has been riding ever since.
DebbiJo seriously endorses motorcycle safety training classes and believes
they teach you invaluable lessons that can save your life on the road.
She enjoys working on her bike and does her own regular maintenance. Motorcycling
takes a back seat to nothing when it comes to "down time", and she has
been known to dig her way through snow to get her bike to dry pavement
to ride when the weather permits. |
Leslie Davis

Leslie Davis,
a former Hardly Angel, is back on the team after a few years of retirement
taken to focus on her career. "Enough of that!!" Leslie is the Clerk of
Court for the 6th Judicial District where she has worked for 18 years.
Leslie, who was inspired to ride her own bike when she saw the Hardly Angels
perform, enjoys the freedom and challenge of riding and the fact that it
is entirely different from her 8 to 5 job. Leslie and Mike, her husband
of 30 years, enjoy going to concerts, landscaping and of course riding
their Harleys together. They have a 20 year old daughter, Lindsay, who
is currently attending Fort Lewis College. Leslie enjoys making stained
glass windows, crafting and reading in her spare time. Leslie rides a 2000
Superglide and is very excited to be back with the Hardly Angels! |
