KRISTA ZAVATTA: TEAM Arizona Rider of the Month April 2013!
Last Updated: April 1st, 2024
We’re always excited to have TEAM Arizona family members visit us at Bike Night; Krista rode with us in October of 2012 at a Basic RiderCourse. One particular Bike Night this winter we had a media person reach us in need of a quote from a female rider. Voila! Krista Zavatta just happened to be the right person, at the right time, with the right attitude. We were incredibly pleased to have Krista represent us in that article.
Flash forward a few months and whose name gets drawn for Rider of the Month? Krista’s! Any way we try to wrap our heads around it, we just confound ourselves, so we’re going to just enjoy the moment and let it be what it is.
When asked why she enjoys riding, she responds emphatically, “Corners, obviously! It’s amazing when riding how in control you feel and how you feel like you and the bike are riding together. It’s also been a great way for me to spend some more time with some of my family. We can just up and go to a bike night, or a riding class, or just for a ride to nowhere in particular.”
She loves motorcycling so much, her only regret is that she didn’t start earlier. She wishes she knew it “wasn’t nearly as terrifying as I had believed for most of my life. There are moments where the adrenaline will pump but it’s a rush (in a good way) and really is unlike anything else I’ve ever done.”
Her advice for budding riders?
Take a class, then take another, and keep practicing. Even after my Basic Rider Course my husband would take me out into parking lots or on some farm roads to let me practice my turns, my corners, stopping, etc. It really has made a big difference in making the things I learned habits and when you have a split second to respond it makes sure that you respond the right way.
We value Krista’s contributions to TEAM Arizona and hope she maintains her high level of enthusiasm for riding. Cheers Krista!
