Why is it that I can sit and write a blog about something, but when it comes to saying something about myself I become completely baffled?  Maybe I don't consider myself all that interesting but find so much of the world interesting, and sometimes baffling.  When I was young 50 sounded really old, but as it approaches around the corner, I still feel young except for the normal aches and pains.  One of my biggest joys besides the family is getting on the bike when I get home off the road.  Being an over the road truck driver doesn't leave me alot of quality riding time right now.  But even though I rode when I was younger, the riding now seems so much more enjoyable.  Why is that I wonder?  That seems to be a common thread with alot of us older riders.  Maybe we're just past the point of wanting to be considered "cool", and just want to enjoy what makes us happy.  Or maybe we just know at this point in our lives that it's not the destination but the journey.  For the new members here taking a look, I hope you enjoy yourself and don't be afraid to speak up or ask questions.  99% of the people here are good, decent, hard working people from all over the world that have one thing in common.  The passion of riding.  Ride hard, ride safe, and keep those knees in the breeze!

Any of the people I've met on CC. They're good people. Not interested in meeting any celebrities, sports stars or politicians. I don't have any heroes, or idols or a leader. I rely on pure inner strength.

Worst attribute:
Don't know how to be subtle. Will lay things out in the open, take it or leave it kind of guy. Am sometimes too honest to my own detriment.

Favorite bands and musicians:
At my age there are too many decades to cover and try to pin down my favorites from each genre. As long as it's good I'll listen, and I'm always willing to listen to someone that's new and trying to make a name for themselves. Guys I listen to the most, Travis Tritt, Stevie Ray Vaughn (THE Texas Tornado) and Robert Cray.

Favorite movies:
Again, too many to list. With 5 decades of movies I can't even think of all of them. The one that I'd watch again and again is, The Godfather.

Favorite TV shows:
Don't watch T.V. It's pablum for the masses. Never believe the news because they're lying to you. If you want to experience what it's like to be a mental patient on thorazine and in a haze, just watch the news or any newschannel. They don't tell you anything.

Favorite books, magazines, and writers:
Like all different books. One of my favorite writers I guess would be Jeffery Deaver. One of his books was "The Bone Collector". Great book and equally made movie. Favorite mags-anything bike related. Could care less about the skin mags. Waste of paper and brain intellect.

Favorite blogs and websites:
Cruiser Customizing Bike Bandit and any bike site that's worth a crap.
