About Me

I'm a 38 year old punk who wants to see the world before I die. And boy do I enjoy having epileptic seizures. I like to sit on my front porch drinking beer.

"A full tank takes me almost three hours without a stop, three hours of contemplation and speculation, contemplation of past mistakes, speculation of future dangers." -- Ted Simon

My Interests

old motorcycles and cars, star trek, sci-fi, marshmallow peeps, hawking crud on ebay, being hungover, and Terri Garr.

I'd like to meet:

I'm riding a 1965 Ducati 250cc round the world. The engine seized in New Zealand and I'm broke, so I'm in California working to pay off debts and to save up money.

Round 2 starts late July or early August, 2008. Heading to India.

I'd like to meet anyone who could show me around their town world-wide and hopefully take me to punk rock shows and show me good thrift stores. http://nokilli.com/rtw/
