Grew up around motorcycles all my life. My dad used to race in the 60's and used the same bike (Honda 305 with straight pipes) for motocross, enduros, hare
scrambles, ice races and his favorite, Hillclimbing. Back then it was an affordable family sport. He bought me my first bike when I was 6 yrs old, a 50cc
Indian. Since then, I've lost count of over 300 bikes. All of them have been old bikes and nothing newer than 1981.
Been married 25 years to the same girl I met when I was 18. Served 10 years active duty in the Navy from 1982 to 1992, all on the west coast. VAQ139 Whidbey
Island, Washington and got out as an AT1 (E-6). After a couple years, finished out my 20 years in the Iowa Air National Guard (F-16) and the Navy Reserve (NEAT
218).
