Two Lucky Motorcyclists Receive New Riding Jackets

Online, June 1, 2010 (Newswire.com) - For the month of April motorcyclists were invited to explore ThrottleHand, the Internet's only video-based magazine devoted to motorcycle news, entertainment and social networking.

Nancy Toscano, winner of the SHIFT Envy jacket, is a marketing specialist who has been riding her first and current bike, a 2007 Kawasaki ZX-6R, for 2.5 years. Nancy is an avid street and track rider and co-owner of www.chicriders.com, a web site for the promotion of female motorcyclists.

"I love to spread the sportbike riding lifestyle and love to inform other female riders of the vast opportunities there are for women in the sport of motorcycling," says Toscano.

Winner of the SHIFT Avenger jacket was Jonathan Li, another relatively newcomer to the motorcycle scene. After completing the MSF course in 2008 Jonathan purchased a Kawasaki Ninja 500, "so I could learn the basics before I rode a 600cc," says Li. Two months later he bought a Honda CBR600F4i, and five months after that a 2008 Kawasaki ZX-6R.

"It's great to see people coming to the site, getting involved and enjoying what ThrottleHand's all about," says ThrottleHand publisher, Tom Roderick. "I want to congratulate both Nancy and Jonathan on their winnings, and thank SHIFT for its participation."
