Took a ride today with friends and family in honor of my brother Tazz; I sure do miss you.
My heart is sick and sad
My best friend went down on his bike and lost his life. Ken is the finest man I have ever known and my brother, his soul is safe in God’s hands. My own heart is sick and sad, but God is with me and Stacey and the girls.

Welcome
Hi there! I’m am simply an old guy with a need for the road to stretch out in front of him but without a care for destinations. I only ride American motorcycles, and frequently you may find a bit of grease under my nails. I am semi-retired, so I work 3-4 days a week and ride the rest of the time, sun, rain or snow. With all respect to the Fryed Brothers, most “All my friends are dead”, near dead, or flirting with disaster… and I am contented as part of this pack.
