started riding in 1969 when my dad became involved in the honda business. raced my first moto in 1976 on a yz-125x and have continued to race and ride my whole life, only time off was to heal from assorted injury's so i could do it again. raced my first race in the +50 int. class this year and placed 2nd in that adventure and plan on some 2 hr. gran prix in november to finish my year out. i plan on racing/riding till i'm 85 or so! man has to have a goal anyway. moto has been a very good way to live would not do anything different if i could do it over! life is short ride hard...see you at the track!
