Your Inspiration to Ride: Initially it was mobility; in Florida you could get a restricted license at 15 and ride up to a 125cc machine. Later, it was the freedom, independence and the feeling of belonging to the brotherhood of motorcyclists. In 2005, I became an MSF Instructor, which gives me the chance to teach people, from all walks of life, the basics of operating a motorcycle and hopefully wetting their appetite for this awesome sport way of life.
Most Rememberable Trip: It’s always the last one.
Something you probably didn’t know about me: While living in Germany, one of the HOG rallies we attended was in Prague, Czech Republic. A picture was taken of me in the parade, which made the cover of the March/April 1996 HOG Tales.
