A heart attack at the age of 44.


It wasn't a Stop sign, but a Yield one. This event changed me. I stopped smoking, the main reason. To keep my heart in good shape I bought a race bicycle. I ride it 7 times a week in Winter and 4 times a week in Summer. On a sunny Sunday afternoon I returned from a practice tour. In front of my garage I found a Sportster 883. Who the hell parks 'my dream' in front of my garage? My old friend Robby and his wife Christine sat on my balcony and talked about biking. I took a shower and dressed myself in a T-Shirt of HD Green River,Wy. He had imported the bike from Florida, spending a lot of extra money for shipment, tax and modifications. This was the beginning.
