| Funny situation you had that involved your bike: | On the way to Barre, VT as part of the dealers tour we were going around 65 miles an hour and all of a sudden I got hit in the head with something and it stuck to my forehead just below my helmet. It was a bird. I had to literally grab it and throw it away. I tried to tell Ed I got hit but he figured since I was still talking I was ok and kept on going. It happened just like in the Wild HOGS movie. It's hard to believe but just ask Chris B. He saw it all. |

| Tell us about a humorous and embarrassing moment (you’re willing to share): | While on the trip to Myrtle Beach and our first time with the new Ultra Classic, we were following the group into a parking garage. As we went around one of the corners everyone had stopped so when Ed put his foot down and there wasn't any ground there because it was built on an angle we went down. Luckily there were many that came to our rescue. |
| Tell us about someone you admire and why: | I admire Ed. He makes everything look so easy. |
