Phyllis Stafrace our Lady of Harley

Experience at Trinacria Regional Rally HOG Primavera 2025

Riding my Harley Davidson 48 to Sicily and joining the La Valette Malta group for the Trinacria event was inspired by a desire for adventure and the opportunity to connect with fellow riders. I’ve always loved the freedom of the open road, and this event was the perfect chance to push my limits, especially alongside such a passionate group of motorcycle enthusiasts.

Riding with the group during the event was an unforgettable experience. There was a sense of brotherhood and unity among us, all sharing the same love for motorcycling. The thrill of riding with so many skilled riders, the sound of our bikes roaring together, and the beautiful Sicilian landscapes made every moment feel exhilarating and empowering.

One memorable moment was reaching the highest speed I’ve ever achieved on my Harley still within the speed limits of the motorway. It was a huge personal milestone and made me feel an incredible sense of achievement. A challenge I faced, however, was navigating some of the winding and narrow roads in Sicily, which required full concentration and skill. But overcoming those challenges added to the overall excitement and sense of accomplishment.

Being the only lady rider in the group meant a lot to me. It felt empowering to represent women in a traditionally male-dominated space. The group’s support and friendship made me feel valued and respected, and their organization significantly enriched my journey.

The Trinacria event deepened my connection with my Harley and the global riding community. It made me realize that the Harley-Davidson family is not just local but spans across borders, united by a shared passion.

For other women interested in joining the Harley-Davidson family, I would say to embrace the journey with confidence and seek out a community that encourages growth and adventure. Looking ahead, I’m excited for more Harley events and adventures that challenge me further and allow me to connect with fellow riders from around the world.
