From: Ashland, VA

Bikes: The keepers: 1969 Magneet Sprint, 1971 Gitane Tour de France, 1973 Raleigh Twenty, 3 - 1986 Rossins.

Main job is a bookkeeper for Honda House Marine in Richmond, VA - Honda/Yamaha/Sea Doo/Can-Am motorcycles and power sports, Honda and Yamaha generators and Honda lawn mowers, weed wackers, and cultivators.

Alternate job is Syke the Shirtmaker. I'm a re-enactment sutler specializing in early colonial (St. Augustine and Jamestown) impressions thru late 17th century, with a bit of French & Indian War thrown in. At the moment, I'm just limiting myself to sewing clothing, but may go back into the full sutlery impression once I've retired from the Honda shop two years from now.

Plus there's Syke's Cyclery, vintage bicycle restorations.
