Two wheels are better than four!

About Me

I love motorcycles, and currently own two. I wish I could ride year 'round, but as Massachusettes winters go. . .ya know how it is. I'm also into music, and dabble on guitar, percussion, and digital recording. I've helped some artist friends of mine put together home recordings of their stuff, and I would like to learn more about sound engineering and mixing (yeah, as if I have time for that with a retail management career. . .) I'm actively involved with my church, Temple Baptist in Cherry Valley, and work in the youth department along with my lovely wife.

My Interests

I love motorcycles. I've been riding for three seasons now (If I still lived in Florida, I'd have a whole lot more miles behind me. . .I hate New England winters). I've owned eight bikes over the past few years. 1. 2002 Buell Blast 2. 2003 Buell Blast 3. 1987 Suzuki GSX-R 750 4. 1995 Suzuki RF600R 5. 1998 Honda VFR800 Interceptor 6. 1994 Yamaha XJ600 SECA II 7. 2000 Aprilia RSV 1000 Mille 8. 2006 Honda CBR600RRMusic is a big thing to me. I play guitar, and jam with guys from my church. We've had a couple of small gigs, and maybe some more coming up. . .My wife sings, and we've written a couple of songs. I have a small digital recording workstation, and I've done some recording for a friend of mine.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet the guys from P.O.D. I've been fans of theirs from way back when they were indepedent artists on Rescue Records, before they made it big. I really appreciate how they are so open about their faith, and I respect the fact that no matter how huge a success they are in eyes of the world, they still stand strong in their beliefs.

Music:

I listen to Christian rock, mostly in the heavier vein. . .Living Sacrifice, Soul Embraced, Haste the Day, Blindside, Pillar, Thousand Foot Krutch, Super Chic(k), Demon Hunter, Disciple, Project 86, Gretchen, Showbread. These are in no particular order, I just pulled them off my Windows Media Player playlist. I also have to give great respect to some of the mellower bands that I enjoy for their great songwriting ability: Rebecca St. James, Jennifer Knapp, and Jars of Clay.

Movies:

I love action movies and not-cheesy horror; can't stand (much to my wife's dismay) chick flicks.

Television:

Can't say. I don't watch TV.

Books:

Honestly, I don't read much other than motorcycle magazines like "Sport Rider," "Cycle World," "Motorcyclist," and anything else that writes about fast machines on two wheels. I'm currently taking a correspondance course on motorcycle mechanics, does that count?

Heroes:

My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
