Here's my Peg standing by my 89 Goldwing. This bike was very special to me because Peg proposed to me on it while we were cruising one day 3 weeks after we first met. It was the first time she had ever been on a big bike and I figure it must have been all that fresh air!! I said YES!!  I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to find a person as great as Peg who loved riding with me on my Goldwing.  My buddy Dan Kintner and I cruised all over the country while I owned this bike.  From California to Maine.  We once drove from California back to Michigan in 3 days to avoid losing any work.  That was a fun ride!

This is me on my "85 Goldwing Aspencade. This was my first "Big" bike. My buddy Bob Cunningham and I ordered identical bikes & picked them up the same day. Wow!! I was in heaven but I knew I was in trouble soon as I sat on the bike. I'm a short fella and my toes just barely touched the ground. My legs were shaking because I had never driven anything that big but by the time I reached my house, I was wondering what had taken me so long in getting a big bike. The next day I went out and had two extra soles put on my boots. Now I could touch the ground comfortably with my toes. I was in business. Of course I endured years of ribbing from friends and family about those boots.

Here's my '82 Honda 650 Four Nighthawk. This picture was taken on the way back from a trip to Wyoming with my buddy Bob. I broke a shock in Brady, Nebraska on this trip and Bob had to ride 300 miles to find a dealer that had a shock for this bike. That dealer charged me an arm & a leg for one shock but I was in no position to argue about the price. Thanks Bob..you're a great friend.
