Hello! Glad to be here. Hope to meet new people and make new friends. I'm turning 61 this December and, unable to shake the racing bug, have purchased a 69 CB450 to (hopefully) enter in AHRMA events.
I'm retired from the auto service field (service advisor, manager, FoMoCo foreman just to name a few jobs I've had). My passion is racing. Road Racing to be precise. I'm an avid follower of MOTOGP, WSBK and AMA (or whatever it's going to be called) Superbike--favorite classes to watch are Super Stock and Super Sport. I'm a former woulda coulda shoulda WERA racer. Wife and family came first, racing second so, never got it out of my system. Now, I've raised a wife and kids and they have moved on. The wife--(EX-wife) keeps hanging around but, it's my turn.
Previous bikes are (in order of most recent):
A 69 Honda CB450, 04 BMW R1150RT, 07Kymco Agility 125 Scooter, Yamaha Vino 125 scooter are currently in my garage.
Have also owned: 05 RC51, 84 BMW R100RT, 02RC51, 00 Superhawk, 96 Suzuki RF900R, 84 VF1000F, 69 CBX, 70 CB350, 87 FZ600R, 83 550 Vision, 77 CB100, 78 850 MotoGuzzi LeMans, 73 RD350, 73 DT250, 71 SL350, 71 CB750, 68 Norton P11A, 65 305 Superhawk, and last but not least, a 1959 Cushman Eagle.
I live in Medway, Ohio and sold my house to move into my "man cave". A 14X70 mobile home with an attached 1 1/2 car garage and covered driveway in the boondocks. I enjoy firing up my little chimnea on my back patio at night, listening to the owls and cows and other noises that make a joke out of "peace and quiet".
I tend to ride faster than average. I'm not much for "putting along" especially in the corners. I make frequent trips to visit my friends in Saluda NC. Current favorite road is 215, 178 and 276 around Caesars Head SC
I also am finding much enjoyment in going to AMA SBK races such as Barber and VIR. Have been going to Mid Ohio for 25+ years-- both vintage days and AMA race. Love to camp out on motorcycle trips.
hello to all!
