Meet ATHENA “CHICKIE” RANSOM

VAGABOND CHOPPER
2023 RIDE CAPTAIN

Athena “Chickie” Ransom started riding in 1982, learning the ins and outs of motorcycles behind the parts counter of an aftermarket shop owned by racing legend, Guy Glover. The lessons learned about motorcycles in the shop after hours, and the encounters with parts and people, proved to be the driving force to a passion-based career in the motorcycle world. Chopping and building roadworthy machines is the life she lives and loves. Throw in the antiques that she enjoys restoring and updating to perform on the road, or the stereo system upgrade installed, and you will see the pride taken in every project. Most of all Athena appreciates any opportunity to inspire and assist others. That’s what makes her smile big, which lights up her small custom shop, Vagabond Chopper in South Florida.
