Motorcycles, gardening, my grandkids

I fell in love with motorcycles when I was 15. It is like breathing to me.

Gardening, well I own 5 acres of farm land and currently am growing hay. I have a small garden to sustain my family (and occasional friends) for the year.

As for my grandkids, I enjoy watching them out on the farm - helping out and riding their four wheelers, skiing, making a fairy forest and riding motorbikes.
