OLD is a State of Mind

Saturday 20th May 2023

My wife says I'm a ideally suited for this ride - crazy as s**t for still playing with my toys.  😂😂😂😂😂

This rider has been blessed with 50+ years on motorcycles.  i began my journey at age 3, when my uncle Buck sat me on his 1957 Harley panhead and took me for my first ride, and it is still ongoing. 

I began riding when motorcycles still had character.  In addition to Buck's Harley, in my neighborhood there was a 650 BSA, BSA Rocket 3, a Triumph twin and a 750 Norton. Those were the earliest days of the Honda 750/4 as well.  A couple years later, I was blessed to ride my CB500-4 with other Hondas, Yamahas, Suzukis, and Kawasakis.  Wonderful memories all.  

I've also lost enough brothers from every genre of bikes and riders to realize the blood is always red.  

Every kind of bike, every rider, I believe we all share the the same love to chase the wind.  May that love live forever.  

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Thursday 30th Mar 2023 On Sunday the 21st of May 2023, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
