ABOUT ME
Started riding around 15 years old in Olean, NY. Father was all for it Mother was totaly against it. had a bike up until I was 30 years old met a nurse and she talked me out of it. When she went by the way-side 21 years later. My good friend Paul sold me his 1997 R850R. It has been a great bike and did get me back into riding after going thru MSF training which was the best thing I ever did. Now married with a wife that is loves going 2 up. She has been down at the BMW dealer more that I have picking out the color and accessories that she wants on the R1200RT. Looking forward to a great year.
