ABOUT ME
I started riding on the road when I was 15 here in Michigan. I didn’t waste around much. I started off with a 750 Triumph Bonneville. It was a great bike even with all the faults of a Brit bike. Wiped out the life savings to get it. And lucky for me that was all that got wiped out. I learned early to respect the power and fragility of motorcycles. Since then I’ve owned all manner of bikes. The most bizarre was a Suzuki RE-5 rotary engined bike. Too cool, no one ever knew quite what to think of that one. Favorites seem to come back to the Europeans. I’ve liked every Beemer I’ve owned. The /5’s were probably my happiest memories on two wheels. Although the very best one I’ve ever had is my present mount – an ‘02 R1150 RT. I am currently (2007) 46 years old. I am a toolmaker for an injection molding company and specialize in tool and mold repair. This really helps out when I need an impossible to find repair part for some old rescue project. I can just make one. I’m married with two kids, 18 and 19 years old. They are both in 1st year of college. By the way, Epona was the celtic goddess of the horse (and who was adopted by the roman cavalry).

As for Austria, you bet I'm renting a bike. That is the primary reason for going. I been wantin' to go and ride the Alps for about 20 years. I better go soon before I'm too old to care. So I made the reservations last year for this summer. If I wait to retire, then al...

Takin' a trip vs Trippin'- er that's a whole 'nother trip down a different rabbit hole there Alice.
Well not to lose focus:
Key West in March (also to include the entire East coast of Florida)
The Smokiy Mtns., When the mood strikes
Austria in the end of June (to include Germany, Italy, Switzerland)
Probably back to Texas at least once
And any where else that may inspire me.
