There's a pic of Samantha on the Passport to Great Weekends webpage, http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Samantha_Brown, next to the section marked Travel Tips, that shows her on what looks like a Harley-Davidson Road King. Not sure if the kick stand is down. I'm also a 39 y/o female (like her!) and just got my motorcycle license last year and want to know: DOES SHE RIDE?!?!
