Can you tell I like motorcycles? :) I'm currently racing sportbike motorcycles regionally in local clubs called WSMC (Willow Springs Motorcycle Club) and WERA West (Western Eastern Roadracing Association). I've been wanting to do this my whole life and I'm so happy I've finally found the means to do so and I'll keep at it until I'm #1 always. I just won 2 championships in WERA West in 2006 for 600cc Superstock and Superbike Novice. I'm going to win some more.
I'm racing the Expert circuit in the western region for 2007 and have began winning top 5 finishes consistently. 1st place wins are around the corner.
Other than that, motorcycle racing pretty much consumes my life and I can't imagine doing anything else besides hanging out with family and friends. I love my nephews and nieces to death, I wonder how early they will start riding motorcycles :)
As far as personality, I think you can find out about a person based on their lifestyle:
1) I'll try to eat healthy food any chance I get. I'll pick a turkey sandwhich over a burger, I'll pick water over Coke. Although I do have my chocolate binges at times. Damn that europe trip in 2001. Loving sweets though is what me and my sister and brothers have inherited from our parents.
2) If something is challenging, I'll keep spinning my wheels to figure out how to overcome or solve it, or ask the right people to get the answer. I'm not afraid of asking questions.
3) I like doing new things, eating at new places. Things become too stagnant if it's routine, I have to change it up all the time. Not sticking with the old and exploring let's you find the awesome things in life.
4) I can do anything I set my mind to. If one person can do it, why wouldn't I be able to? Better yet, I can do it better than most.

My first 1st place win at Willow Springs Motorcycle Club on 04/16/06 with my 2005 Honda CBR 600RR racing against bigger motorcycles up to 1000cc. I won by 8 seconds.
Favorite quote, Atlas Shrugged from Ayn Rand:
"I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind--and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression."
