Freedom.

Definition: conducting oneself without external restraint or constraint.

In a busy day, to give a little break herself, Min Soon-Ja jumped into motorcycle life last spring. Because she needed time to enjoy and feel freedom in her own way in a busy daily life. Let's get her voice, what does mean 'Freedom' to Ms. Min.

Q. Please tell about how you became Harley-Davidson rider.

A. When I was young, I had many chances to ride behind my father's bike. My family had lived in a small town, so my father and I naturally enjoyed riding a lot. At that time, his bike wasn't that fancy as Harley-Davidson though, I loved feeling wind on a bike, so there might be having a motorcycle in my mind. Sometimes, when I drive a car, riders passing beside me catch my eyes. However, it was hard for me to challenge to motorcycle because I thought I am too short, I am a woman, and I always feel scared. One day, I met a female rider and she encouraged me to begin a motorcycle rider, and finally I became Harley-Davidson owner.

Q. What is your impression your dream came true.

A. As I said, I had little options to choose bikes because of my height, so I decided to buy SuperLow. And my bike's seat height was still too high to me, it didnt' fit me, so I lowered 2 inches more down. Nevertheless, I fell down many times while training. Whenever I fell down, I somewhat regretted starting riding, but now I can enjoy riding with my club members. To them, I have learned how to ride safe and confidence. So now, I am really excited when we have group riding. I cannot wait for it.

Q,. Is there anything changed after becoming a Harley-Davidson rider?

A. Absolutely. First, I am more confident, and it helps to my daily life. Above all, riding is a very good way to release stress. Before, I was so stressful due to my business, and now I have the best solution to escape from the stress. I think nothing can't be an effective way than riding. You never explain the incredible feeling when driving toward endless way to sky without the experience. Enjoying motorcycle is a huge difference from driving a car. If you run against the wind all over you body, you will forget every stressful mind in your head. And riding let you show self-confidence when I ride nicely.

Q. What if you recommend Harley-Davidson to someone?

A. I recommend this to everyone who works in the same industry. I know well the industry I work in is very stressful than anyone else. If I have an opportunity, I would like somebody to ride behind me.

Q. So, what is your next challenge as a Harley-Davidson rider?

A. If I have next challenge, it is to join every tour event in Korea and Japan. I haven't been able to join the events so far because I was a beginner last year. If I get used to it more, my final challenge is to ride across the America, the homeland of Harley-Davidson.

Q. Last question. Do you have anything to say?

A. Many female riders already enjoy their riding though, I hope more women to ride with us in the future. At the beginning, I was hesitant to ride but now I never hesitate to be on my bike, even I like to ride more. So, let's challenge yourself to enjoy your life and feel freedom on your own way.
