I grew up on a Tricycle and on the back of my Dad’s 1974 Honda CB550 Four. In my early teens, I rode dirt bikes and quads (Honda CR250 Elsinore, Honda XR80, Suzuki RM125, Honda Fourtrax/Foreman). I stepped away from motorcycling for various reasons in the early 90’s. I’d occasionally attend RMC with Mom (lol) and ride an occasional Harley. But I was far from a motorcyclist for several decades. Ha. In August 2025, I decided to jump back into it and take the MSF Basic Course and receive my Class M License (highly recommend the MSF Basic Rider’s Course). This was the best and “funnest” decision I’ve made in years! I love it. Wound up with a beautiful 2025 Honda CRF300L Rally from Blackman’s Cycles in Emmaus, PA. Love MC shops…especially theirs. See pics. Looking at BMW F450GS and a Yamaha T7 for my next bikes…as well as a nice OLD Knucklehead (in my dreams). I find that I throughly enjoy maintaining both my bicycles and motorcycles.
I’m looking forward to eventually hitting a variety of rides like the Mid-Atlantic BDR, Northeast BDR, and eventually the Nevada high desert to sniff out some of Bob Lazar’s E115 or relax along Superior with some beers, frisbees and Milk Bones for Dogman…
