Recently retired from supervising a maintenance department, performed industrial machine tool repair for last 15 years I worked with tools. I got my first motorcycle in 1972, raced motocross in southern Nevada, Utah, California, Washington, Oregon. throughout the 70's, 80's, 90's up to 2012. Bought my first KTM in 1981 and rode them exclusively until 2014 when I bought my first Beta. Was such a big fan of KTM my son's middle name is Kees after Kees Van der Ven. Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2017, still riding MX with the grandkids, slowly mind you, but it is still fun as ever. I coach Parkinson's boxing classes as well as train in boxing myself. Never missed a USGP in California at Carlsbad, Hollister, and Glen Helen. Favorite track was a track located in Cedar City Utah, it was located in town by the drive-in movie theater, red sandy dirt through the trees on the side of a mountain, if was awesome.
