Episode 178:
This week, our guest is Brittany Morrow. She is well-known as the Road Rash Queen, who, in her own words: "On September 25, 2005, Brittany was involved in a life changing accident as a passenger on a GSXR 750. She wrote a first-hand account of her experience on the first anniversary of the crash. The article went viral and has since been re-published on over 200 occasions. Due to the overwhelming response to her story, Brittany has dedicated her life to the promotion of motorcycle safety, the use of safety apparel and the education of riders regarding these important aspects of the sport.  She partnered with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation in 2008 to create a web based campaign, RocktheGear.org, urging all riders to “Rock the Gear.”"
