Annamarie Sesta is the founder of the Chrome Angelz RC. Chrome Angelz came to be when Annamarie decided she wanted to ride with other women motorcycle enthusiasts to develop a sisterhood to have fun, give back to her community, and ride – without drama.
Annamarie is a lifelong resident of New Jersey, so it made perfect sense to start the Jersey Shore chapter in 2011. In 2012, she decided to take Chrome Angelz national and quickly had a “cousin” chapter in Michigan. International membership was not far behind as Canada joined in 2013. As of today, there more than 200 chapters of the Chrome Angelz worldwide over four continents and continuing to grow.
Although Annamarie loves her Chrome Angelz, she is quick to remind sisters that family comes first, and she is the glue of her family. Annamarie is married with two adult children and two grandsons who are her world. Her husband and daughter also ride and if her dog is not on the back of her Valkyrie, her grandson is!
In addition to the ever growing list of Chrome Angelz, Annamarie’s lists of adventures continue to grow as well. Beginning in 2015, Chrome Angelz began hosting annual conventions to allow Angelz from all over to gather – Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Maine, Minnesota, Arizona and the latest, New Jersey. But it is not just conventions that keep Annamarie traveling on her motorcycle. In August 2018, Annamarie, her daughter, Dominique, and her grandson, Logan (age 9 at the time), set out on and completed an amazing journey – Coast to Coast on Angelz Wingz – where they traveled nearly 8,000 miles on their Valkyries, traveling through 25 states, visiting countless National Parks and Monuments, and did so in 26 days!

Behind the Wingz: Our Founder
Swingz
Annamarie also does her best to meet Angelz from all of over the world when her day job allows. While she typically does all of her travel on her motorcycle, in 2017, the day job interfered with Annamarie riding to Texas when she was asked to be a speaker at Texas’s Lace, Grace & Gears Motorcycle Rally so she flew instead. At the rally, she met up with Chrome Angelz from all over the United States, and also a president from an Austrian chapter of Chrome Angelz.
Riding is her passion, second only to her family. Chrome Angelz RC has become so much more than she ever could have imagined, and she is so thankful to see it grow and blossom each year.
