When Charlotte resident Tonya Jameson isn't running Darling Media Group — the multimedia web company she co-founded — you can find her teaching folks how to ride motorcycles (conducting a 22-hour Motorcycle Safety Foundation basic rider course at Central Piedmont Community College) or out riding her own motorcycles. But as much as she loves her bikes (a Suzuki Bandit 1200 and a Suzuki GSXR 750), if money was no object, what would she ride? We checked in with Jameson last week, and she filled us in on her three "dream cycles."

BMW K1200 (MSRP: $21,700): "If I wanted to take a tour around the country, that's the bike I would buy," said Jameson. "It's fast and versatile, but I don't have to bend over like I do on a 'crotch rocket.'"
Suzuki Boulevard M109R (MSRP: $14,099): "It's a sexy bike, and I would look even sexier than I already do when I'm on it!"
Can-Am Spyder Roadster (MSRP: $16,499): "It's basically a three-wheeler, with two in the front and one in the back — whereas a traditional 'trike' is one in the front and two in the back. But it's this cool new bike that's out and gaining popularity. It's just a head-turner. I don't know how comfortable it is, but if people see me on it, they will stop me."
