My addiction is building custom choppers and restoring vintage bikes....spend alot of time cruising solo and with friends....doing long hall rides that take us to new destinations and new people. Anything and everything to do with the world of choppers and bikes in general. ......... ........................................................... I took some time off from the full time software business for awhile after building a few software companies and getting lucky enough to have "cashed before the market crashed." Still do venture consulting (web site www.venturefuel.com ) and some work with people I know in the business but part time for now. Currently have a Big Inch Bikes softail chopper titled Saturday Night Special with a 100cu RevTech engine and six speed tranny. Also a Harley Electraglide themed Wings of Freedom with an american Bald Eagle/USA Flag airbrush. Other stuff I do includes time with my kids and granddaughter (addiction number 1 !!) and family, playing bass guitar (used to be in a blues & rock band), photography (another new addiction thanks to a friend of mine), golf, scuba, boating in NH, ski mobiling, downhill, racquet ball, working out, getting massages (ok addicted to that too), and swimming (not all necessarily in order of frequency.) I can be the consumate professional, famlily man, partying biker, or wacked sense of humor friend - can be totally in control, or totally out of control at times. A.D.D. and a little obsessive/compulsive. Got alot of bottled up creativity that works for me at times (has made me alot of dough) and against me at times (making me realize I still need to grow.) Just another bozo on the bus basically. MySpace link:
