Have been riding since 1953. MY first bike was a 1950 Triumph 650. It was my older brother's bike. Shortly after that I bought my own bike, a 1952 AJS 500 twin. Since then I have so many motorcycles I lost count. I have live in Turkey, Germany, and England. I been seldom without a bike to having a garage full of them. I've ridden all forms of competition except road racing. Dirt riding has always been a passion. While living in Vermont, and competing in NETRA Enduro's, I became a Can Am dealer in 1974 and started a dealership which also sold Kawasaki & Honda & the necessary Snow Mobiles. I sold the dealership in 1984 and moved to SC where I finally retired.
