Traveler on Two Wheels & by all means

I Can Speak

English

I Would Describe Myself As

Fairly well traveled, and well educated Midwesterner who regularly goes there, and to Rockies, as well as to Europe. I'm an academic, teaching and writing about medieval literature (and a little about motorcycling); happiest outdoors, on the road, in a stream with a fly rod. Interested in all kinds of people, cultures, languages--no boundaries regarding ethnicity, race, faith commitments.

I'm a few years into life on my own having lost a wonderful wife to a long-term illness: of the many things for which I owe her thanks, motorcycling is one. Who wants to ride? Who wants to wander with wonder?
