Hello, my name is Ken. I have been a motorcycle nut since I was 12 and I'm a hair away from 70 now. I started professionally in a Kawasaki shop as a mechanic and shop manager right out of high school, raced motocross, and later had my own Yamaha shop for several years.
Now that I'm retired, I like to pick up a bike here or there and spend most of my time returning it to original condition.
My walls are filled with motorcycle posters, tin signs, clocks, photos, anything motorcycle related.
For the most part, I eat, sleep, and dream about motorcycles.
Last fall I picked up a 1000 LTD, finally fulfilling my desire to own one of those. I always got to ride them after working on them in the shop, but never actually owned one.
I enjoy talking motorcycles, riding them, and fixing them. I look forward to meeting all of you.
