Bio:

     I am the luckiest person that I know. Career-wise I am a Senior Lecturer in Physics at Idaho State University in Pocatello, ID. I have a great job, live in a wonderful house in the middle of wild Idaho, and have tremendous friends far better than I deserve.

     I've written two books and contributed to several others. I've written for magazines including Motorcycle.com, Climbing, and Live Sound. I contribute a weekly opinion column for the Idaho State Journal.

     I was a proud member of Team Hillbilly/No Worries Racing and the Willow Springs Motorcycle Club for several years acquiring an expert license, three trophies, two black flags, a gen-you-wine jones for the smell of race gas, a permanently clenched sphincter and miles of smiles.

Other interests: oats and alfalfa hay
Bike: Discovery Channel custom chopper
Motorcycle web sage qualifications: general omniscience
Favorite thing in the world besides motorcycles: strangers in the pasture

Bio:

     Hi - Turbo here.  I dig big bum, tattooed ladies and flashy high chrome, low-tech choppers with expensive paint jobs that handle like wingless 747's - especially if the seat bursts into flame while I'm going down the road. It's way easer to pick up cloven-hoofed honeys if I know that I look bodacious out there.
That's what I'm all about.

     I have a special thing for Christiane Amanpour and am willing to declare jihad on the entire world for a date. If you can help a brother out please email me.

Venus Envy
(a.k.a. Ducati Hottie)

Age: None of your durn business.
Occupation: g
uest services relations director, general mayhem instigator, kung fu assassin.
Other interests: my two awesome nephews, Dirty Jack, running, skiing, traveling and making biker boys cry.
Bikes: Ducati Monster 750 Dark
Motorcycle web sage qualifications: If you have to ask you are not MoJazz material.
Favorite thing in the world besides motorcycles: dispensing advice and lots of it. 


Bio: In addition to being a hot motorcycle babe, Venus Envy is the leader of an Eastern Idaho women’s M.C. called Venus Envy and the Abrasion Hussies. She and her sister grew up in the wilds of Wyoming with nothing better to do then tear up the country side on sleds and dirtbikes or any other wonky contraption with a motor. The taste of dirt and bugs are in her blood: Grandma Persis was a Motor Maid and the world’s fastest woman on a bike in the 1940's, Grandpa Fat Jack was a rocket engineer, and Great Uncle Tom owned a Triumph dealership until he retired. Together they started the family love of speed, engine whine, and burning rubber that is evident in Venus, her aunts, uncles and cousins, and all the great-grand kids today.
