I had never ridden a motorcycle until I moved from Rochester, NY to Tucson, AZ. In the beginning of 1974, we were experiencing a gas crunch, so I decided to try a motorcycle. Purchased a 1974 Honda CB360T, had to teach myself to ride and got some good hints from reading "The Complete Motorcycle Nomad." I got hooked. 

Rode Moto Guzzi's for the next 20 years, until Marty, at Iron Horse, won me over to the BMWs. I bought a 95 K1100LT, loved it, wrecked it after making a mechanical mistake. Replaced it with a 96 K1100LT. I rode Motors for the Tucson Police Dept. from 1979 and was an instructor the last 13 years, until I retired from the department in January 1997. Wished I had kept track of all the miles I had ridden since I started back in 74, as I just need a few thousand more miles for my first 100,000 on BMWs.

Iron Horse was able to get me a new, white, 2003 R1150RT-P. I had some red and blue accents painted on it, added some extra lighting and the bike is great fun to ride.  

Hobbies: Motorcycling, horseback riding
