In 1986, Joan Krenning had a single solitary idea: to purchase a brand new Harley-Davidson Softtail and begin riding. The salesman at the local HD dealership had to be prompted to talk with her, and when working to get financed, the bank asked for her husband’s permission to write her the loan. Married women were not allowed to borrow money without the signature of their spouse back in May of 1986. During those days, Joan was a budding entrepreneur who owned the popular biker bar, the Buckhorn Tavern, in Loveland, Colorado. In November of 1988, after making a very bad decision Joan lost the bar in a dramatic evening raid, was arrested that evening for drug possession and subsequently spent time in prison. Turning 35 in prision was a stark reality check and during the years that followed, motorcycling became her mental therapy, as she experienced the aftermath and numerous trials and tribulations in life.
