Snowbum and Penny, May 2006.
After decades of being a bachelor
 I married Penny at the end of September, 2006
Amor Vincit Omnia
My life has changed vastly for the better!

Our K1100LT-EML GT2 rig, 
our wedding day at Historic Genoa Park, Nevada.   
Note my Tuxedo T-shirt!  We arrived and left on the sidecar rig.

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool...shun him. He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is willing...teach him. He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep...awaken him. He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise...follow him." --Chinese proverb

I always wear these clothes when out for skiing...not hard to find me!  

 


 
With Rocky, my pet raccoon, who is generally peaceful.

1983 BMW R100RT Motorcycle with Ural sidecar.
 Sold April 2006, but not before I'd put on MANY happy miles.  
   In front of my home at South Lake Tahoe, California, USA.  
We sometimes DO get that much snow in the Winter. 

Self explanatory!


Below is a Summertime view of the same spot.
My two-wheel ride, a 1984 R100RT, set up for long distance touring.
NO, I do not know who the manufacturer was for that fiberglass top box.
It may have come originally from a Harley Davidson Dealership.

There are two roads in life, the twisty one is vastly more fun

Reputation is what you are perceived to be, character is what you are, and REAL character means doing what is right when nobody is looking

Common sense isn't

Most folks look intelligent.....then they say something

Be Careful when arguing with an idiot...folks watching may get confused as to who that is

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS.  YOU CAN'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM ALL YOURSELF!
