Let's Ride and see where we end up.

About Me

Being a former Recon Marine Scout Sniper, I am very patriotic and will travel wherever/whenever necessary with the Patriot Guard Riders as one of the NW Illinois Ride Captains to ensure that our servicemen and women who have given all to this country are laid to rest with honor and respect.%D%AI travel on my motorcycle all over this great land, camping along the way most of the time. There is truly nothing like the smell of breakfast and coffee cooking over a campfire or the smells and sounds of the wilderness in the morning, watching the sun sneak up over the horizon. Mother Nature is a special lady, and you have be ready to accept all she has to offer year round, and enjoy it.%D%AI ride a much larger and more reliable Yamaha Roadstar, with over 185k miles in less than 4 years, and not one breakdown of any kind, because I'd rather be riding than fixing. Besides, it is actually 100% made in the USA, not just assembled and painted here.%D%A%D%A ....

My Interests

PGR and Veterans Issues, Conservation Projects, Camping and the great outdoors, Hunting and Fishing, Motorcycles of all kinds.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who enjoys travelling on a motorcycle, regardless of brand name and not just as an adornment for the back seat. Someone not as interested in the brand name of their clothes as they are in the fact that they are dressed. Someone able to go from leathers to formal without skipping a beat, when to act proper and when not to. Someone who understands the true concepts of respect, honor and always doing the right thing, not just the "PC" thing. Who has the same respect for our veterans and servicemen that I do. Someone who doesn't think that a motel without room service is roughi .contactTable { width:300px !important; height:150px !important; padding:0px !important; background-image:url

Music:

Anything that is truly music. This does not include RAP or HIP-HOP. Any idiot can be foul-mouthed and crude while yelling to the beat of a fake drum.

Movies:

Westerns, Military, Mystery, True Stories, Comedy.

Television:

OLN, Comedy Network, History Channel, Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel.

Books:

Clancy, Kellerman, Anderson, Autobiographies, etc.

Heroes:

Gen. George Patton, John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, or anyone who has voluntarily given of themselves to defend this great nation. Being a multi-tour Vietnam Vet, my generation for making sure that what happened to us will never ever happen to another veteran or service man/woman again.
