I have always believed that good stories happen to those who can tell a good story. I think that I get that from my father.

After watching both his sons compete annually at the BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials on a bike capable of going more than 200 miles per hour, our Dad – at 75 years of age – decided to rekindle his love for motorcycling and compete in the event this year.

At an age when most people’s idea of a new story is what they saw on Oprah that day, our father is out there chasing new dreams.
