My friend Brian Sprinkle (Sparklz) introduced me to this group. Like Brian I retired from CMPD but not as a sworn officer. I was the computer guy who took care of all of the laptops and modems in the patrol cars.
I have been riding motorcycles since 1970 and have ridden many different brands to include Kawasaki, Suzuki, Victory, Harley-Davidson, and having sold my BMW K1200LT I now ride a BMW K1600 GTL.
I am all about motorcycle safety. I first became a MSF RiderCoach in 2003 and a Harley-Davidson Rider's Edge Instructor in 2004. I also work with Ride Smart Inc. and worked with Mark Brown on his Begin2Ride classes at MotoMark1. I continue to train as much as I can to keep my skills up and be as safe a rider as I can. Gary Lackey may remember working with me at Mitchell CC back in the day. I enjoy riding day rides as well as long 2 and 3 week trips out west. I try to take at least one 3 week trip to Wyoming/Colorado/etc. each year. With the exception of the one or two weeks in January and February when the roads are slick I ride year round.
Although I have a Davidson, NC mailing address I actually live about half way between Mooresville and Kannapolis just off Highway 3 in Cabarrus County.
I look forward to riding with you.
