I was 10 yrs old and I brought home a picture of a Suzuki Trailhopper 50 from a magazine and put it on the dinning room table for my father to see. The ad said something to the effect that let my father know that I wanted that bike. It was all that I thought about. Not long afterward, I came home from school and saw a Honda 70 sitting in the garage exactly like the one pictured above. My father was standing there waiting to see the expression on my face. When he told me it was mine, I became the happiest kid alive. I rode that bike everyday after school. As I got older, my bikes got bigger. In 1986 I walked into Spirit Harley-Davidson in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, where I am from, and asked for a job selling Harleys. Bouncer, the owner hired me and I've been with the motor company ever since. I came to Jacksonville Florida and went to work selling bikes and making this my home. I started a Thursday Night Ice Cream ride and it never took off so I renamed it The Thursday Night Dinner Ride. It took off and everyone is having a great time with it. That is what prompted me to setup BikesAndRides.com web page as a resource for bikers. Every time I meet a group of people for a ride, I get just as excited as I got when I saw my first motorcycle in the garage. I hope you enjoy BikesAndRides.com. See you on the next ride! --Tim
