About Me

Me & my MaryI started on a totegoat (anyone remember what a totegoat was) bouncin' through the woods around Grand Lake CO when I was a kid, had a honda trail/street 90 when I was 16, a kawasaki 400 triple at 24, then a long blank space until age 55. In May 07 I decided to get a 250 Yam to ride around town and figured I be able to talk wifey into going for a ride someday. After a week or so she gave in and we went for a 3 mile ride. When we pulled back into the garage we got off the 250 and she looked at the bike, looked at me and looked back at the bike and to my utter amazment said "You're gonna have to get a different bike cause I'm riding this one". I never in my widest dreams pictured my wife riding any kind of bike ever. So I went and bought the 650 Vstar and we rode the whole summer away. Over that 1st winter I kept catching her out in the garage sitting on the 650 and you guessed it she finally says "you're gonna have to get a different bike, cause I'm gonna start riding this one". I traded the 250 in on the 1300 and there you go. 3 new bikes in less than 1 year. She's ready to move up, but, maybe next summer. My wife rides a 650 Vstar, and I ride a 1300 Vstar. We live 28 miles from Utah in western Colorado.  We have 3 grown kids, and 6 soon to be 7 grandkids, OH 7 grand kids now (3-6). Winter sucks.  Let's ride, Be safe.

A big Thanks for mjbearit
Posted 4 months ago
A big thanks to mjbearit. If any of you have had the opportunity to get a response to a question From mjbearit, or had a question answered by reading one of his reponses to someone elses question he exemplifes what this site is all about. He saw somewhere we were going to be in his area, and immediatey contacted me about taking us for a tour in San Diego if we liked. He had previously answered a question of mine about rejetting wifeys 650 Vstar, and he even went to his local dealer to look at one so he could answer my question more acturately. Kids he knows his stuff. Thanks for your time, the tour was great, one of those things we'll always remember about our trip. I had a cocktail in my "Phils BBQ" cup last weekend. Hope to see you again someday soon.  Bikinjb  (he also got the whole "John & Mary's Big Adventure" thing started. Very clever.)
