Fearless, Fast, and Fiercely Herself — A Conversation with FTR Woman

In this Miles Shared episode, I sit down with Christie — also known online as FTR Woman. She’s a solo rider and creator with a fierce love for motorcycles, real conversation, and wide-open roads. Her riding style is bold, unfiltered, and full of curiosity, and her motto says it all: Just go for it.

Christie rides an Indian FTR and calls herself @mostlycussing on Bluesky and FTR Woman on YouTube, but what comes through in this conversation is how much joy, vulnerability, and authenticity she brings to motorcycling. We talk about what got her into riding, what keeps her coming back to it, and how it’s shaped the way she moves through the world.

What We Talked About

• Why she started riding and how it unlocked a sense of personal freedom

• Choosing an Indian FTR and how it fits her riding style

• The balance between confidence and caution as a solo female rider

• What riding has taught her about risk, recovery, and self-reliance

• Her approach to content creation and sharing real stories, not just highlight reels

• What "Just go for it" really means to her

This was a joy of a conversation. Christie brings humor, honesty, and a refreshing lack of pretense to everything she does—on and off the bike. Go check out her channel, and if something she said hit home, let her know.

Thanks for riding along.
