Janice Thomas is the former I.T. manager of O’Neil Printers and Wife of Ian Thomas, from O’Neil Software . She had wanted to ride motorcycles since she was very young and in 2007 convinced her husband to take a riding course with her. Her first motorcycle was a Honda 600cc but quickly she discovered she wanted more power. She upgraded to her current bike, a 2004 Harley-Davidson 1200XL Custom Sportster, and joined the Orange Coast Harley Owners Group (HOG), where she frequently takes part in group rides.
The “Sporty” has not only become her favorite motorcycle (she also owns a Vespa-style scooter) but became her pet project with a lot of extra, custom work. In 2008, her bike won the Orange County stock Sportster of the year award and she proudly announced that “chrome is the new gold“. With very few places to add chrome to the bike she has Ian very worried about what she will do next but one thing is for sure… it will be on her Harley.
