Meet Ady, AKA "The Thumbless Biker." Seven years riding, an SES rescue gone wrong, a thumb amputation, and a BMW GS800 that she never thought she'd fit on. This is her story.

From a Virago 250 to a Z900RS to finally landing on the F800GS, Ady takes us through her riding journey, why the F800GS's upright position and low seat conversion sealed the deal, and how she found her tribe through East Coast Female Riders (ECFR). Long distance touring, off-road confidence, and a community that's changed her life, this one's about a lot more than just the bike.

If you're thinking about getting into riding, or just want to hear a genuinely honest story from someone who's lived it, this is for you.
