Loryn Thompson was born as a non-biker. Jealous right from early childhood of all those people who used to ride, she was eager to fall in love with motorcycles. In a simple manner, she puts it as there is no accounting on how much skills one can accumulate after years and years of riding. However, the best part that she feels is that she is glad that she joined riding later as it has given her a whole new perspective on how riding can change a person’s life. When not riding, she writes blogs that are based on the motorcycle lifestyle. Check out her work on we-ridewell.com/ride/ig
