Newbie that read the sticky.
1. What is your first name (or middle name)?
Bruce
2. When's your birthday (year if you want to include it)?
12/12/1958
3. What do you do for a living?
I work at a Kawasaki dealership, mostly in the parts department but find myself involved in a lot of things all over the dealership.
4. Married or Single?
Very happily married for over 25 years.
5. Favorite ice cream?
Vanilla Fudge. Yummie!!!
6. Coffee or tea?
Both, depends upon the time of day and meal.
7. If you are old enough....what is your favorite "drink"?
I really don't drink that much at all, but I do enjoy a cold draft beer every once in a while.
8. What is your favorite color?
Don't really have a favorite.
9. Who is your favorite band / favorite CD?
Wow... ahhh I'm trapped in the 70's and prefer southern style rock to most anything else, but again, no real favorites.
10. What is your favorite movie?
On Any Sunday. Next would have to be Dust to Glory.
11. What is your favorite TV show?
NCIS at the moment. I'm a big fan of all the 'geek' channels though. History Channel, Learning Channel, Discovery Channel, etc. I enjoy Speed most of the time and am a certified movie junkie.
12. Any pets, if yes, what?
Dawgs. Not dogs, good ol' dawgs. We have a Lab mix named Tippi and a Great Dane named Roxie.
13. What other hobbies are you into?
Ridin', Racin' and Big Dogs.
14. What was your first bike?
A 1972 Honda SL125.
15. Who or what inspired you to ride?
Went for a ride on a Honda Scrambler at around four years old. I was officially hooked from then on.
16. How long have you been riding?
I actually started riding when I was ten on friends bikes, but it took me another four years to talk my folks into allowing me to own a bike. So I'm going to fudge and say 40 years.
17. Where do you live?
In central North Carolina.
To add to this;
My wife and I own a 2004 Nomad that we absolutely love to ride, our 21 year old son is attending UNC getting his degree motorsports/mechanical engineering and he rides a 2005 Yamaha FZ6. We all enjoy long day rides and touring when we have the time.
These are our first street bikes though, we spent ten years racing hare scrambles / cross country in the south east prior to this. We had to give it up when our son, Bryan, started college. Didn't have the time or resources to do both... However, we still have the last bikes we were racing, a 2001 KX250, a 2002 Cannondale E440R and a 2003 Cannondale X440R.
I've been in the motorcycle industry for almost 12 years now, prior to that I made my living in the trucking industry. My wife works in sales for a company that manufactures drawer boxes and doors.
Looking forward to getting to know you folks and participating on the boards.

OK, here ya go.
These are from the hare scramble days.
The last year we raced I was in the Senior B class and Bryan was in the 250 A class. We primarily raced here in NC, but we also did some racing and a lot of play riding in both the Carolina's, Virginia and West Virginia.

Here are some more recent photo's.
The one of my wife and I on the Nomad was taken on US 129 near Deals Gap, NC, the infamous "Tail of the Dragon". The next one is Bryan on the FZ6 on US 421 close to Shady Valley, Tn which is known as "The Snake".
The photo of the two bikes in full tour mode was taken just off US 129 outside of Live Oak, Florida next to the Suwannee River.
The last one is of my son Bryan, his girlfriend Jordan, my wife Julie and I, and was taken at the Georgia Welcome Center on US 301 just across the SC line.
If you'd like to see some more photos from some of our rides as well as read some ride reports you can go to our blog sites. Mine is http://rdytogo.blogspot.com/ and Bryan's is http://bmccraryfz6.blogspot.com/ .
