Embarking on a 38,000-mile expedition starts with a single, thrilling twist of the throttle. After dedicating six years to burning rubber on racetracks and immersing herself in the pulse-pounding world of motorcycle racing, Tiffani yearned for a fresh experience from her two-wheeled lifestyle. The unexpected loss of her stable office job presented her with the perfect opportunity to pursue just that. As a single, unattached, and newly unemployed 28-year-old, Tiffani transformed her 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 into a versatile adventure motorcycle. She equipped it with camping gear and embarked on the journey she had always dreamt of. The only hitch? Tiffani had barely ventured beyond her lifelong residence in Los Angeles, let alone with only a tent and optimism as her safety net.
“Chronicles of a Motorcycle Gypsy” is an uplifting tale of overcoming fear, self-doubt and insecurity, driven by a pursuit of passion, while exploring the diverse wonders of the 49 continental United States. Along the way, Tiffani experiences both the best and worst of humanity, forms a companionship that eases her solitude, and challenges her biking expertise in a variety of scenarios—from her first encounter with riding a sport bike in deep sand to being trapped in a blinding blizzard in the Colorado mountains. It’s a vast world beyond the racetrack!
