Certifications/Classes Etc: Current drivers licenses with unlimited motorcycle endorsement for Indiana. MSF Beginners Course 1993, Navy’s Rider safety course 1997, MSF Advanced Rider Course, 1998, 2004. Certified in electronics and electrical repair. Assoc. in Electronics. BA in Management.

General Experience: I've been a street rider for around 13 years with about 90,000 miles in the saddle. I have ridden in all types of weather across many states. I have done everything from lubing a chain to rebuilding blown motors on motorcycles and cars.

I have been down due to oil and anti-freeze all over the road in a curve. A car blew a motor minutes before we came through. 3 bikes went down and we were actually doing less than the posted speed limit of 55mph. Oil and anti-freeze on pavement is like ice.
