I started riding in 2012, after moving to Portland. I decided that if I couldn't ride my horses regularly anymore, a motorcycle was the natural next step. I currently own six beautiful motorcycles; Lazarus, a 1980 Suzuki 850gl, Hephaestus a 2005 Honda Shadow Spirit 750, Paul Bunyan a project 1972 Honda CB175, Briareos Hecatonchires a 2016 Honda CB500xa, Astraeus a 2016 Triumph Tiger 800xc, and a Batavus Moped named Daedalus .
