They tell me people would like
to know more about the 4 old timers
that make up the Gray Beards,
so here's my story.



I started my biking hobby at age 8 on a Honda Super 90.  
I convinced my dad it would be ideal to bring
the cattle up for milking on the family farm.  
From that day on I've been interested in anything
that had a motor.  I had several bikes before 
my 14th birthday when I bought my first Harley
a basket case '63 trike for $100.00).  
From there I started building and 
restoring bikes and cars - never 
selling as many as I bought - which is 
probably why I now have over 90 bikes.

A few photos of some of my bikes.

I have been an officer in numerous motorcycle 
organizations and clubs over the years, worked 
at the local bike shop at age 15, and 
owner/operator of an excavating company 
ever since. 

In my leisure time I enjoy traveling with 
my family, wife Vicki, daughter Kristen and 
son Doug Jr., and of course hanging out with 
my buddies.

Another enjoyment of mine has always been the 
outdoors especially the hunting and fishing 
trips with my son, whether it was in the 
Ozarks for spring trout, or in the area of 
trophy whitetail, turkey or bear, we always
have a great time.

Doug Jr. 1997 - just finished 1948 Harley Hummer with my help.

'73 Honda 75 - Did complete bike - I was 19 when I did this one.

My biggest passion is helping children, and it 
makes me feel great to know that the money we 
generate will always go directly to the kids 
that need it the most.
