October 2, 2017 - The work to create a more effective page template is continuing. You will see some pages that have little content, and others that are very jumbled. Don't worry, I've not had a debilitating on-camera stroke. It takes a while to figure it all out. I hope you enjoy the finished product. 

Do you have a club or public group that looks for unusual speakers with fun topics? Why not book me as a good way to fill in that empty slot for a future meeting date. 

My 30-35 minute long presentation is a humorous look at how a senior citizen with serious medical issues attempts to fill his time. It's not a lecture on how to create a fabulous garden or even about finding joy in teaching a cat to walk on a leash. Nope, it's about motorcycle riding, the history of America, and how we honor the millions of young men and women that are willing to make huge sacrifices for their country.  

It is difficult to ride over 100,000 miles and not collect a few good stories about the people encountered along the way. TV personalities, politicians, military heroes, police officers and deputies, and little old ladies looking for a date - they all contribute to the flavor of Ride Around America.
