When asked about turn-ons, Kathleen replied “A great smile, acts of chivalry, and sweet surprises.” She also told us that closed minded people turn her off. Kathleen admits that she’s a sucker for “Tall, dark, and handsome men!” She describes her personality as “Outgoing, fun, open, honest, and loyal. She’s also been told that her ass is her best attribute. LOL

Also, make sure to check out the behind the scenes photos and video from our May 2016 cover shoot, and check out the specs and photos of this classic 1979 Yamaha SR500, which is owned by Ben Schmitt.
