Howdy, from central Texas! (formerly from Laredo on the Mexico border)
I've been riding for over 50 years, have owned 173 bikes (mostly British/Triumph/Bonnevilles), and currently have 13 bikes (no Guzzis at the moment, I used to have a scruffy '74 Eldorado 850 with a Cozy convertible sidecar).
I retired from Motorcycle Restorations/Rebuilds/Custom Builds (Born Again Bikes) in 2018; I did that for 13 years and completed over 100 major client projects in that time, besides a dozen or so of my own.
Former U.S.Navy Aviation Ground Support Electrician, former A/C business owner, former Computer business owner, formerly in Commerical Construction and Mechanical / Electrical Engineering, also all manner of other jobs including Sous Chef for a year.
NAUI certified Open Water SCUBA diver, (2) tandem sky dives, water & snow skier, hunting & fishing, camping & traveling, drawing & drafting.
Married 40 years (in June), 5 kids ranging from 48 to 13 (yes, you read that right), 8 grandkids, and ONE great-granddaughter!
Currently (mostly) ride a 2000 Triumph Legend 900 triple or an 01/03 Kawasaki ZRX1200R.
I designed and built my own "Hangardominium" with shop & hangar for my Quicksilver MX Sprint II Ultralight.
Also have:
'66 Triton (hand built Bonneville engine in Featherbed frame) that I built
'65/66/67/68/69/70 Triumph Bonneville 650 that I built for AHRMA's Historic Production Heavyweight roadracing class (raced in '07, '08 & 2010). Best finish was 2nd at Willow Springs in 2010. Finished 5th in '08 Championship (22 riders in class, with many 750 triples & 4s) only raced 1/2 of the events.

That's about it...
