80 plus years of age & started riding in 1946, to also start to go into basically all forms of m/c comption of flat tracking, Observed Trials, Scrambling, Enduro, Cross Country Racing to some yrs of Road Racing.

So have had a lot of yrs in this m/c world & owned a maze of bikes over that time PLUS some of the competition irons.

Have broken my back, many ribs, some of my limbs to a maze of concussions due to PRACTICING & the races, plus a scull fracture.

Also I was born with epilepsy, no one seemed to realize, my problems with REMEMBERING so my schooling was haulted when I looked into grade 10 to realize this was a world for people with memories. That is when I told the Principal, he realized my problems of obtaining a better education & off I went to work for a m/c shop in sales, parts, or working on bikes for $80.00 a month. Though went into other forms of work especially my own way of working.

Been riding since '46 which includs around 24 yrs in dirt comp.

Living in the Okanaga Valley of B.C. Canada
