A Brief History
I started riding over 30 years ago but it was a slow start. I started riding full-time, year-around over 20 years ago and have averaged more then 20,000 miles per year (except 2006) since .
Normally I have a couple of bikes (different styles) in the garage. Currently my rides are an ST 1300, a Valkyrie, and a ZRX 1200.
Every year I take at least one long-distance trip and numerous day trips.
In 2000 I did a round trip from San Diego to Ohio.
In 2001 it was San Diego to Tacoma, WA and back.
In 2002 was slow year, I only made one long-distance trip to Denver and back from San Diego.
In June 2003 my husband and I moved to Payson, AZ from San Diego, CA.
In October of 2003 I bought an ST 1300, in Pennsylvania. It was a great ride back, I went south to ride the Blue Ridge Parkway before heading home.
