Grew up in New England, Ct specifically, in a motorcycle family. Dad was a m/c dealer before I was born so motorcycles were in my blood. Raced in the dirt, then the woods and finally on the pavement. Spent 4+ years in Texas but the riding sucked. Flat,straight and hot roads are not my thing. Relocated to eastern Tn and lo ing it. Just got my first new bike in 40+ years, a 2014 Bonneville America LT. A little over 700 miles and taking my first of many trips, on the BA that is.
