When I met Stella, I was still riding dirt bikes and had begun to tour with the first 750 Honda. I still don't know whether she fell for me or just liked to ride bikes. We dated for 6 months before we went out in a car! She loved to travel on the bike and we went on several trips with 2 other couples and sometimes just the 2 of us. We visited these states in the process;
Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, NewMexico, Utah and Nevada
In 1980 when our first child (Ben) was born, we decided that motorcycle touring just wasn't for us (it's kinda' hard to get a child safety seat for a motorcycle) so we sold our street bike. We made a promise to ourselves that since we had done lot's of touring BK (Before Kids) we would do it again AK (After Kids). Well, AK is almost here so we are beginning to shop around for another touring bike. Stella bought us a Yamaha 700 recently and it's been fun to go for short rides. We opted for a Sport Touring bike and Bought a '94 Kawasaki Concours...Nice!
I started riding bikes when I was 13 years old. The first bike I ever rode was my Grandpa Ed's Honda 90 Trail bike - What a thrill! Since then I have owned (or shared ownership) in;
