Suicide leaves a huge hole

Monday 8th May 2023

I take the DGR's cause very personally, as I have known six men that have taken their own lives. The people in their lives always have the same question, "Why?".

The causes are often hidden from family and friends, though depression is usually at play. What are the links that lead to the irreversible act of suicide? Life events? Mental imbalance? Interaction of medications? Lack of the Holy Spirit?

There is so much work to be done to understand the issues. I'm thankful to DGR and Movember for tackling this issue.

1952 Matchless G80S unrestored.

Thursday 27th Apr 2023

This bike was stored for many years in a barn, after traveling a little more than 14,000 miles. How long it took to do that, no one knows, but it had had an electrical short that burned up the wiring harness. (Matchless did not use a fuse in those days.) My hunch was that the bike was in good running shape when that happened, and that was right! I took the bike home from Ohio and set to work. New tires, brakes, cables, wiring harness, battery, seat cover, and other upkeep was done, and the bike is a true survivor, a time machine! I've put on almost a thousand miles since last spring, and except for being a little hard to start at times, it has been a lot of fun. I'm glad to be able to bring it on the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. 

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

Wednesday 29th 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.
