Karen Butterfield
President
I always wanted to ride as a kid. I started riding in the dirt and then I discovered riding on the street for a day or days at time and all the people I would meet was as much fun as I thought it would be. Our sport is even more fun when we create opportunities for shared experiences with similar folks that includes telling the stories of past or planned adventures.

Steve is a new rider and member to the Red Hot Riders, having only been on a motorcycle for a few years. He has a background in software and finance. He enjoys the “experience” of being out there in nature while traversing the back roads of San Diego county. His favorite bike is the one he currently owns and rides, but as all motorcyclists know he already has his eye on his “next” one. Steve profession has allowed him to live in many places in the United States, but his new found passion of riding and the great varied scenery and geography has quickly made San Diego one of his favorite places to live and ride.

Bruce Neapole
Member at Large
Riding opens a world of freedom and possibility for me. Always curious, a mechanical tinkerer, started riding through four seasons in the East… on a Suzuki single, then bigger two strokes, a Norton Commando–break for a corporate career, then back in with a BMWr1100rs now ride a K12GT. Best club you’ll find- all brands and riders welcomed, great bench racing chat, monthly rides and amazing speakers.
