Bridgette LeBer
Coming from a background in downhill mountain bike racing, Bridgette LeBer confesses she always dreamed of racing a motorcycle. Her first taste of road racing was a track day in 2017, and the immediate draw prompted her to drop everything in move to California to pursue more.
Bridgette joined the Royal Enfield BTR Flat Track program in 2021, but missed out on much of the season after suffering a broken femur. But this setback was no match for her determined spirit; she returns for 2022, this time on the Road Race side, in a relentless pursuit of a passion that was awakened five years ago.
“This is a dream opportunity and I can’t believe it’s really happening,” Bridgette said. “Melissa Paris is my road racing hero. She’s the woman who showed me that it’s possible for me to make it in road racing even though I didn’t grow up racing motorcycles. To have her as my mentor and be racing at MotoAmerica is truly a pinch-me moment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Breeann Poland and Royal Enfield for putting this program together and believing in me.”
