Marisol Ortega

Marisol has coached at Northpoint since it opened and runs the coach roster. She came to motorcycles late, in her thirties, after years of telling friends they were too dangerous, and she still thinks that first Basic RiderCourse was the best money she ever spent.

She rides a middleweight naked bike and spends most summer weekends on the range. Her thing as a coach is the nervous first-timer: she remembers being one.
