How long have you been riding?
22 Years

What makes you most excited about motorcycling?
The independent use of all four limbs in harmony with my senses.

What inspired you to start the Road Grimed Astronaut Fan Group on Facebook?
In general, I am a big fan of comradery. I think the “Groups” are one area where Facebook does a good job of providing a space for like minded people to communicate. I love my Aerostich gear, and I thought that it would be nice to have a spot for Road Grimed Astronauts to share their stories, pictures, and experiences.

Favorite Aerostich gear?
My favorite piece of Aerostich gear is whatever piece (or pieces) I happen to be wearing when asked!  I love them all!  My first suit was gifted to me by my riding mentor, Dr. Donald Hight. He is an extremely accomplished long distance rider and a good friend.

Aerostich-related or Aerostich-specific stories?
Unfortunately, I had a crash in the summer of 2020. Luckily I was atgatt and my roadcrafter performed amazingly well. I won’t ride without Aerostich!

Any other thoughts?
I recently purchased a Roadcrafter jacket for my favorite passenger, my 14yo daughter. She is learning the principles of ATGATT.
