moto BIO

Name: (born) Christina Nitta Kanyavong or (known as) Atticus Phansa

Bio: Better known as Atticus or Atti, I am a motorcycle enthusiast since 2014. I have traveled all over the east coast for work and fun—supporting and documenting different bike events and groups. Some of these communities includes custom building, flat track racing, road racing, camping, women groups, and local groups from NYC to Philly to Baltimore and DC.

My experience with the motorcycle community and industry has always been amazing with meeting individuals, talent and having good fun. That spirit of the different communities is what made me document and support many of these people and events for years.

For a while I painted helmets and paintings of bikes and lived in a bike shop in Manayunk, Philly as well as did some minor marketing and event work for groups and events. I have been focusing less motorcycle work and more on myself and family, but riding and going on adventures with friends is still one of the most important things to me and probably forever.
