I have owned a few bikes. Begining in 1992 with a (don't laugh) a Honda Rebel. It was a value to me while in the service. San Diego was expensive for an E1- E3. Due to a very tense situation I figured I'd wait until I was a little smarter before I own another.
So at 30 I purchased bike #2. 2002 Honda VT750 ACE. Good bike, learned lots. Found out that it was not the bike for real long runs. After 5,500 miles upgraded to the 2005 1300 VTX. great machine. The wife loves it. Currently 7700+ miles.
Upon temtation to entertain a more primal urge to go FAST. I bought my 2005 FZ6. I love it. Great bike. Around 6000 miles. Haven't any real accidents. Have been run off the road once. Resulted in a severe butt kicking.
I have road several Republic of Texas rally's. I have deffinately road with more experienced riders then myself. I have gotten out of some serious situations by the grace of God.
I am a college graduate, with an Electrical Engineering Degree from OSU. I have an accomplished career with the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration. I am however a constant student of mechanics, and mechanical operations.
I have rebuilt several car engines and transmissions. Other than that, my motorcycle mechanical experience / knowledge is restricted to barely nothing.
I enjoy riding more than...well just about anything. It does have its limits. But Mama lets me ride when ever I want. Heck, she loves to ride too.
Never been to a track day, but looking foward to it.
I am daring, but not death defing. I have four children to see get grown. Plus I have a gorgous wife. Can't see her with anyone else. So that sums it up for me. Hope thats helpfull.
Total miles approx: 25000 miles
Fastest: 141 Mph
Rides 2 up: Lots
Rides Twistys: Every Chance I get
Does own maintenance: Every bit
Student: Always
Spelling: Can't
