interesting encounter

We have recently changed our business consultant due to incompetency on the part of the other group. I have met this new lady once at a coffee shop; I learned that she was the one and only female cross-bike rider from this country but she was driving a 4X4 vehicle that day. She was very pleasant and confident in her work and we decided to go with her. Yesterday I met with her again to actually start drawing up the statutes for our business & beginning serious work. I dressed up for the occasion, wanting to look the part of the business woman that I'm supposed to be. When we arrived at her office (which turned out to be the basement of her house), she was dressed in sweatpants, T-shirt and a bandanna on her head. Her large orange motorcycle was sitting in the driveway & she informed me that she not only loved her bike but she adored it. We had a very pleasant meeting and accomplished a lot. She told us about how she loves to ride through the desert on her bike and often stops to take pictures & enjoy the beauty. She doesn't care if she comes in first place in the competition. (I thought there was a good message in there)When it was time to leave, she said she would lead us out to the main road as it was a bit complicated. She jumped on her bike and flew out of the driveway, motor roaring and dirt flying! I laughed so hard as she did "wheelies" up over the speed bumps and swerved in and out of traffic. It was such a funny experience. The bottom line is that the woman is FUN and knows her job and will get us registered it seems, with little effort. She's invited us to one of her competitions down in the southern desert someday soon. Can't wait!
