Camaraderie at 6:00 and meeting at 7:00pm

From a Sport Touring Bike to an Adventure Bike, and all of the Fantastic Roads, it has taken me.
My name is Jen Gunnarson, and I am a compassionate realtor by day. On my nights and weekends, I am a motorcycle enthusiast who enjoys nothing more than watching a sunset from the vantage point of a motorcycle.
Living on a horse hobby farm during my youth, my father was always working on ATVs, dirt bikes, and snowmobiles, so we always had machines riding around on the back forty home-built track. So technically, I grew up riding dirt in one of its various forms, including gravel roads.
Only after marriage, four beautiful children, and building my real estate career did I realize the desire to ride power toys was still there. I found a gently used Yamaha FZ07, took the MSF certification classes, and started back on my riding journey.
It has been three years, and I have gained confidence in tackling long distances through the worst elements. I recently climbed Powderhorn Mountain in Michigan's UP aboard a Versys 300X and toured a lot on an R1200RS.
After participating in Moons Adventure Day a few years ago, I got my first taste of dual sport riding. By next year's Adventure Day event, I had traded my R1200RS for an F750GS and helped guide the HWY 1 from Ely to Finland day trip. Later in the fall, I participated in Moon's AdventureFest event in the UP, where I got to take the Shawn Thomas and Louise Parker-led adventure riding skills workshop.
My story of a newer rider to a passionate adventure rider has been unexpected for me, but one that has brought me some incredible experiences that I am excited to share with you.
