1. Richard K.- Known as 'wrong road' by the fssnoc thumper guys. I own the 'Viking Motel' in the little Kansas town of Lindsborg, known as "Little Sweden U.S.A.. I also am co-owner of Gypsum Valley Sporting Clays II (golf with a shotgun) where i'm referred to as the 'weatherbyguy' since that's my shotgun of choice. 2. Motel operator full time and sporting clays course operator part time. I'll be 60 years old my next birthday this summer. 3. My dad bought me my first bike, a BSA 150 Bantam back in 1957 and i've had one ever since throughout most of my life. I've owned a BSA B33 500 single; a Suzuki TS400; a Yamaha XS400 twin; a Yamaha XS650 twin; a Yamaha 650 Seca in line four; a BMW R650 opposed twin; a Moto Guzzi SPII 1000 V twin and my new love my '96' Suzuki Savage LS650 single. My list could go on if I were to add the list of my 3 boys bikes I bought thru the years. As to my most favorite and least favorite, they all had their own individual traits. Some were good at one thing some were good at several. A few had faults I could live with some had faults that really irked me but they all had their own unique personality which is what I really like about bikes. My Savage--- it stacks right up there with the best of them for pure enjoyment. At my age, this may be my keeper! 4. Wind in your face does wonders for your psyche. The open road gives real meaning to the term 'Freedom'
