Misty Pine has been pushing her love of motorcycles on anyone who will listen for the past decade. Prior to that, it was horses. Currently based in Portland, Oregon, she is a rare native Oregonian and despite having lived and traveled all over the world, she has yet to find a place as magical as the Pacific Northwest. In addition to riding, Pine enjoys mushroom identification, searching for hot springs, sharing good food, traveling to remote riding destinations in her rad Moto Van, and endlessly photographing all of the above.

A Word from Misty Pine
I feel most myself when I’m in nature. Sharing my love and respect for the outdoors brings me great joy.
You’ll either find me as far away from people as possible, or sharing my passion for recreation with them.
My personal interests include Backpacking, Hot Springs, Mycology, Off-Road Vehicles, Photography, Native Plants, Overlanding, Eating Well, and all things Motorcycle.
