I've lived in Virgina since the late 70's but grew up in NJ, TN and OR. I'm married to my wonderful wife Laura who puts up with my strange ways. We have three kids (1 boy, 2 girls) and nine grand-kids (5 boys, 4 girls) and growing (one on the way). Our daughters live very close to us here in Virginia (next door) and our son is out in Denver where Laura's family lives (he also rides). I'm a veteran having served in the USAF from 72-80. I spent the first half on the flightline fixing aircraft avionics and the last half as a computer programmer. I was discharged at Langley AFB and started working for a DoD contractor and have worked with the DoD ever since. I currently work as an independent consultant which gives me time to ride. I first started to ride motorcycles when I was 14 y...Expand for more
ears old and have owned many motorcycles since. I stopped riding full time for a number of years while I raised my kids and picked it up again in my 50's. Now I'm at it with a vengeance. I ride everywhere and do a great deal of long distance riding. I currently own a Harley-Davidson FLSTC (Heritage) and I ride over 20K a year just on that bike (I also rent bikes when I travel). I ride year round and will ride instead of fly to most locations on the east coast. Laura rides with me some of the time but she is not into the long distance rides so I do these mostly alone. I didn't always ride Harley's. I started on off-road bikes and progressed to dual-sports (I lived in the Pacific Northwest) and as I got older I moved to standards and super sports. Now that I'm in my 50's, I'm riding big cruisers. Of all the bikes I've ridden, the cruiser fits me best. I do not belong to any MCs but I do sometimes participate with the local riding clubs and HOG chapter. I also ride with some of my friends as I travel the country. I'm a member of the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) and participate in escorts and flag lines. I have a 3x5ft US flag I can mount on my bike that can go 70 mph that I use for the escort missions. I'm going to start posting more and more about my travels using Facebook. I have an easy way to post using my phone so it's better than using a blog. My goal is to eventually move this to a blog and open it up a bit.".
