Pinky and Her Electrifying Pink Motorcycle Ride to Raise Awareness of Distracted Driving |
| | âWherever I go, I let people sit on her, take pictures, tell my story. Kids and women really love it! âPink Stormâ attracts everyoneâs eye. Once one person comes overâŠ. I have a crowd.â
In the 90âs a woman motorcyclist was not a common sight on the road. Even less common was to see a woman on a pink motorcycle motoring down the road with a group of guys. But that is exactly what you would see if you happened to glimpse Linda Brown on her Ninja 250 back then.
When she first started riding, it was her unique pink motorcycle that earned her the name of âPinkyâ when touring with the boys. To this day the pink Ninja is tucked inside Lindaâs garage. But it is now owned by one of her friends, who takes it out and just keeps it at her place. Linda insists, âPink makes you go faster!â
Spreading a Message About Distracted Driving
Tragedy struck Linda on September 1, 2015 when a distracted driver hit her while riding her 2011 V-Rod Muscle pink motorcycle. Consequently, it was also the day Ontario had first introduced the Distracted Driving law. Unfortunately the accident left her with a permanent injury to her leg and foot. Plus, other challenging symptoms from the accident continue to affect her.

| While recuperating at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto she started a Facebook page to keep in contact with family and friends in her hometown of Karwartha, Lakes Ontario. Soon the page exploded with people from all over sending her well wishes. Even the media came to the hospital. Thus began her campaign to promote awareness on distracted driving.
When a friend said âI pinky swear not to drive distracted,â she adopted the remark for the name of her cause. |
| | #iPinkySwear Awareness Tour
Starting June 1, 2019 Pinky and her friend Nicole start their Awareness Tour. This tour will have them stopping at every Harley Dealership across Canada to promote the âI Pinky Swearâ campaign on distracted driving.
