History - I have been riding since 1960. Started on a 98cc NSU Quick - moved through Truimph, Ariel, Honda and a couple of other marquees. Stopped riding in 1980 following two minor crashes - briefly restarted in 1984 for a reunion and then seriously in 1997 when my pal and I went to STurgis - he on a 1874 Jawa me on the TC250. TC250 and BMW are labours of love - but the Savage - she is my true love
Hobbies BIKES
Flying - own a share of a Cessna 172

Comments Nickname describes me - 6'4" 150 kilos - but I LOVE that Savage having acquired it in May of 1999 ( a four speed) and ridden nearly 5,000 kms over the summer.
I live in the arctic but the bikes are in storage in western Canada - lots of time to plan next trips this way
Thanks to those who thought of this idea - thread title should be Folks not Guys to respect the Guys like Barb!
Read the forum regularly would likely try to attend a rally in North America next summer
Keep the rubber side down
