My engine is rev’d with a large cup of coffee, watching the sun rise, the air crisp with a promise of a warm sunny day. Gearing up in layers to Ride a couple hundred miles on a back country road. At times singing at the top of my lungs to my favorite tunes. Sometimes enjoying the sounds inside my helmet and always enjoying the conversation with my husband via Scala.
ONE MUST ASK….
Is it the vibration of the engine a few inches below your ass? Is it the push/pull of the handlebars? Is it the sweet spot of the lean on a twisty road? Is it the sound of your pipes when you blip the throttle? Is it the Potato Potato Potato of a Harley or the Rrrrap of a Ninja or the Purrrrr of a Ducati? Is it the wind in your face? Is it you controlling the power or letting go of the power? Is it the sexy on two wheels? Is it the chrome? Is it the twist of your grip? Is it you, the machine and the road? Is it the adventure? Is it what’s behind you in your mirrors? Is it freedom? Is it the lifestyle? Is it the soul cleansing? Is it the challenge? Is it the bugs in your teeth? Is it the brotherhood? Is it the community? Is it the history? Is it the family? Is it the tradition? Is it the love?
My name is Michelle Wishart, but most of you know me as Bell, a motorcycle enthusiast with Bells Rides. Between careers, I was a Private Investigator for three years. I specialized in locating people who didn’t want to be found or those who were taken against their will. I tapped into my experience with real life investigations and recovering human trafficking victims for my fictional stories in The Russian Hit, Human Cargo, and Human Theft.
After retiring from my formal career as a heavy equipment contractor and later a long haul commercial driver, my husband and I traveled full-time in our RV for two years. Exploring the United States, traveling to motorcycle rallies and riding destination.
In 2022, I became a member of the Guinness World Record Book along with over a hundred and forty fellow riders in the World Record Poker Run. Benefitting Rider Down, a non-profit organization for riders involved in a life altering motorcycle accident.
In that same year, 2022, I formed my publishing company, “Bell’s Publishing Co, LLC”, to publish my work. And I finished writing my first novel in a series of novels, The Roxxy Foxx Series.
Our new adventure is traveling and living on our Sea Ray 500 Sedan Bridge. I’m juggling my time between working on a twenty-year-old boat and working on the second novel in the Roxxy Foxx Series, Monstro, Human Cargo and Human Theft, while traveling on the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) up and down the eastern seaboard.
