Our hobbies & adventures find us motorcycling & hiking in our free time, usually wherever we find ourselves in the world.  Our current ride is a 2002 Yamaha FZ1 outfitted for commuting & touring.  My handle on the FZ1OA website is, SO FUN.  Unfortunate circumstances in Oct. '04 caused me to crash, wrecking the ride side of the bike.  Dawn was not with & I was graciously unhurt.  The winter of '04/'05 was a time of building a foundation for marriage under God, and rebuilding our bike, under God.

We're praying during these first several years of our new marriage for Jesus to bring us to a people group outside the US where our gifts, talents, faith & interests will be used by God to impact a people group, & the world, for eternity.  We recently lead a small team of students on a spiritual leadership project to the great continent of Australia during the summer of 2007!  And we enjoyed the National Fast Lane motorcycle ministry rally in Hatfield, AR November '07, where we turned 50,000 miles on our trusted friend, Maverick, our FZ1.

Next summer we're planning our longest trek on the bike yet.  A 10,000+ adventure from Florida to Vancouver, Canada, down the Pacific Coast Hwy, touch the Mexican border, & ride to Cape Canaveral, FL.  We'll see if we can pull it together, literally, as we're in process of looking for a motorcycle trailer to pull behind our mighty Maverick.
