Here are a few of my bikes that I travel on
And I wanted to include a picture of my lovely wife of 33 years who has
somehow put up with me and my adventures all these years
I don't know if she is waving Hi or Bye--she does that a lot !!!
I've also added this 2002 KTM 520 EXC to the garage.
My Husky TE610 with the new 5 gallon tank
)
I love taking pictures-----and I am constantly
going back and reliving the good times
I have a favorite of all time and there's not even a motorcycle in it.
This was taken in the Nevada desert while riding on the
Trans-America Trail--now you won't have to go thru all my
pictures to find it----enjoy........
I've tried riding horses many times---the throttle is sticky
and the brakes don't work !!!!
I guess only my closest friends know I am
a musician--had a really good band for years.
We opened up for the Dixie Chicks and some other famous acts.
Yes that's me with the chicks.
If you ever heard me sing---you'd wonder how
the heck did I every play a guitar !!
Notice I don't have a mic.
Don't let your daughters date a musician----or a motorsickle rider.
