After spending the last 14 years riding 3 different Honda ST1100's. I have decided to take a break from motorcycling. I am in a phase of life where my vacations must include my 4 children before they are all grown up...it's very difficult to fit a family of 6 on a motorcycle. I am aware of just how fast children grow up and that they will be all out of the house in just a few more blinks of an eye. I thank God for the fun I have been blessed to have on my ST1100's over the years...and look forward to whatever adventures lie ahead. Therefore the updating of this page may be a bit neglected in the coming months…... Ride Safe and God bless! |

The Final Word: Motorcycling is an inherently dangerous activity, which is why I adhere to the motto ATGATT - All The Gear All The Time. If you are interested in motorcycling, sign up for a motorcycle training course in your area, such as Team Oregon, Puget Sound Safety or Grays Harbor Motorcycle Education. Remember to always wear appropriate safety apparel, such as a helmet, riding gloves, riding pants and boots. Keep your bike in good mechanical condition. Never, ever ride if you have been drinking. Know your limits and ride within them. When riding with a group, ride a pace you are comfortable with...ride your own ride. Most of all, enjoy yourself and RIDE SAFE!
