September Winner Cyndi Etzel Congratulations to Cyndi Etzel, the winner of the September issue's Name That Time Machine Trivia Quiz! Cyndi enjoys the East Coast life in Hagerstown, Maryland, and puts her 40 hours a week in at a health insurance com- pany. Cyndi, like many rid- ers, didn't start riding until adulthood and procured her license in 2004. She then got to riding on a Honda Rebel 250. She's since upgraded to a 2001 XL 1200S Sportster Sport. When she's not riding her lovely Sportster, she enjoys riding on the back of her boyfriend's 2015 Ultra Limited. They like to ride with the resident H.O.G. chapter of her favorite dealership, Williamsport Harley-Davidson. By the time you read this she'll be riding back to Hagerstown from the Milwaukee Rally—a journey that is over 1,400 miles round-trip. If you see her on the road, give that winner a wave. 4
