Charlen Casey Heading for Biker Mag

Meet Charlene Casey – Owner of Sassybiker.com


Charlene describes herself as a simple woman, a mother and a wife. At 48, she rides a 2005 Yamaha V-Star and although she loved her bike it was too plain and personalized it with her s edgy but feminine flair of hearts, roses and ribbons. Her rear fender was stripped of the stock lighting assembly and a new assembly installed with frenched brake lights with 5 heart shapes that light sequentially when the brakes are used, as well as the turn signals. Charlene mentions, “I didn’t learn to ride until 2004 when I met my soon to be husband. He’s been riding for over 30 years but I didn’t like being a passenger.

By day I am a Records Manager for a law firm in Westwood, California, has a staff of 7 who love me (I hope), I’m fair and honest. I’ve been at that firm for 10 years. I came up with Sassybiker a few years ago because I hated the gear that was available for women. My choices were black, black and black! I wanted bright and fun colors, so I added Swarovski crystals to bling out my helmet.

I had two close friends who were diagnosed with breast cancer. I wanted to help in some way but didn’t know how. I took my pink helmet and put a breast cancer ribbon on it in crystals. I wanted to donate it to the Susan G. Komen Foundation but they never responded to my inquiry. I held on to the helmet thinking the day would come when it would be important. I soon came across Tannis Fuhr , known as Flo who was raising awareness for Breast Cancer and about to embark on the conga ride for the cure. I donated my helmet to her and that’s how Sassybiker took off

.I just love what I do with crystals. My clients are breathless when they receive their helmets. They can’t believe their eyes and often call me with teary gratitude.

I am not on TV and I’m not a skinny model. I’m a curvy, older, sassy woman who loves riding my motorcycle. I think there are a lot of women like me in the world that no one ever gets o see on TV or in magazines. I don’t wear a thong bikini but wish I could (smile) which seems to be a requirement to get noticed in the major biker magazines. I am an artist, crystals are my paint; helmets are my canvas.”
