Marriage
In 2004, Lisa Kelly met motorcycle mechanic Traves Kelly while she was looking for a Kawasaki 125 motorcycle to buy. Due to their shared love for bikes, the pair hit off well and dated for four years until tying the knot in 2008. Traves, who nowadays works as a plumber and is an Aleut Native, is open about Lisa’s career: ‘I have a very understanding husband. He gives me the freedom to go away for so many months, and it is amazing’.
Currently the couple owns a two-acre propriety in Wasilla, Alaska.
Interests
Besides her love for trucking, Lisa Kelly has also found herself many hobbies, such as snowboarding, hang gliding and is a skilled bike racer.
She is an animal lover as well, owning a mini-horse and a full-sized horse named Sky, both of which live in her small barn at home. Lisa also revealed she rescues horses: ‘Mostly from people who don’t have the resources to take care of them or figure out the medical problems they have’ she said to Diesel Spec.
Lisa also adopted a dog while filming “Deadliest Roads” on India, though she couldn’t keep it when she arrived to US: ‘He (dog) went home to Hollywood with my producer. There are so many dogs on the street in India, starving, and I felt if I adopted a dog, I would be doing my part. So I rescued a little puppy and kept him in the truck almost the whole season.
I couldn’t take him home because I was in an apartment situation, but my producer fell in love with him.’
Lisa saved a dog in Peru and a cat in Canada as well.
