Amanda Quick spends her time managing her business, digging into old bike manuals and prepping for Canada's warmer seasons. Her love for bikes has her head stuck in the more futuristic predictions of the Powersports industry, seconded only by her love for cello and obsession with effective communications.
Articulate nerd with a terrible sleep schedule and a dotty love for horsepower.

Harley’s Hardwire Strategy is carrying their company into the mother of all about-faces, so we’ve been particularly keen on HD’s quarterly sales results; this season’s output shows a drop in sales… though the figures may be partially connected to the same “complex market situation” that Ducati’s experiencing.
