Cassandra Wages at Chopperfest 2014
On the way out of Chopperfest 2014 in Ventura, California weekend before last… I spotted a fashionable young lady fiddling with her custom Sportster. After I took a photo she looked at me and I realized it was Cassandra Wages! I mostly know her from instagram- she goes by DustDiablo! Oh the wonderful world of the internet, how cool it can be sometimes. She is a very talented photographer and producer who lives in Los Angeles.
Her man, Michael Barragan (boss man at Evil Spirit Engineering) is on a pretty-in-pink FXR in the background.
After I got all up in her face for photos, she let me take one more and they sped off into the sunset.
