Last July, 18-year-old Kathy Berns realized she had a problem a transportation problem to be exact. She needed a way a get from her Northside Indianapolis home at 6140 North Meridian to her summer job as a teller at the First Bank and Trust Company in Speedway. Her solution was a pink Lady’s Yamaha motorcycle, and it raised both eyebrows and peals of mirthful approval from her school friends, family and fellow employees at the bank. The sophomore zoology major at Duke University admits it took a bit of courage to putt-putt up to the bank and hide her helmet under the bank teller counter the first day. “After all, banks are supporsed to be so stuffy and all,” she said. “But nobody’s had a bad word about riding a motorcycle to the bank. Quite a few people hid their reactions, I think, but almost all of the employees thought if Was just fine. Most of them added, however, that it was just fine as long as I was the one riding the motorcycle and their son or daughter was not.” The 25-mile round-trip to the bank also produced its share of chuckles both for Kathy and for passing motorists. “Yes, I got quite a few stares.

Kathy doesn’t intend to hang up her helmet at the end of the summer, however. She plans to haul the cycle to North Carolina in a rented trailer when she returns to school, explaining that Duke is a spread-out school and her three zoological laboratories will be much easier to reach by motorcycle than by any other means. “I expect I’ll be something of a novelty on campus for awhile,” she admits, “because I think I’ll be the only girl with a motorcycle.” Her friends were a little amazed at her courage when she bought the cycle, Kathy explains. What was her family’s reaction? “My father was all for it, but my mother as mothers will be was awfully hesitant -My two younger sisters thought it was really great and my older brother just loved it except when he saw the pink color and the white fringe around the seat,” she said. “It didn’t deter him from riding it, color and all,” she explains, “but only at midnight down awfully dark alleys.”
