My First Car - 1953

Growing up in Oshkosh and being a
southsider all of my life, I've enjoyed
many hobbies throughout the years.

Through my teenage years, I wasn't
lucky enough to own a motorcycle,
but I rode all of my friends bikes.  I guess
that was what brought me back to motorcycles
later in life.  Owning and restoring
old bikes is what I enjoy at this point
in my life.

When summer rolls around you will find
me at many Antique Club of America's
national meets.  Look me up and say "Hi".  
I'll be at the Fatdog Vintage Salvage
booth at most of the meets helping my
friend Bill at his booth.



   

Maybe you have seen me cruising
around town with my friend on the 
back of my '48 Harley Servi-car.

Here's my current project,
my 1915 Indian.  Here's a couple of shots as
it's coming together.  She will be at the
2008 Fox Valley Motorcycle Show.
   

One of my other passions is traveling.
Having traveled to far parts of the
world, I still have a long list of
destinations to see yet.  Here are
a few pictures of some of the places
I have been to.

          The Forbidden City                                  The Great Wall

                                                               Palace of the Dali Lama Lasa Tibet

Temple at the Grand Palace Bangkok, Thailand                  Entering Myanmar

Working with the other Gray Beards, 
putting on the Fox Valley Motorcycle Show,
has truly been a great experience for me.
I've had the opportunity to make a lot of
new friends, and also know that the money
we raise goes to such a great charity.
