I rode with her at a Cummins event in 2016. The girl knows how to float shift a 13-speed like a champ!

Tamera is well over 5’4″ tall; I would guess her height at about 5’7″ to 5’8″.

Tamera is an absolute doll. She’s the kind of girl that just takes guys like me in. I’m glad she’s happy, but I would love to go out with her if she’s ever in the market.
