This website began in the early 1990s, I don't even remember exactly when. It was at first merely an outlet, a vehicle, for technical writing. I created articles generated from my life-long experiences as a career motorcycle technician, shop manager, and vocational instructor since my completing the training program at Los Angeles Trade-Tech in 1975, to the present. With now fifty years in the powersports industry, and a writer by inclination, I still have a lot of grist for the mill, as they say. A lot of material for future writing projects.

Speaking of writing, except where otherwise noted, all the written material on this website is original. That's virtually all of it, as I have borrowed nothing. Any non-attributed reappearance of my work elsewhere is unauthorized plagiarism, and where found a quick heads-up regarding it would be appreciated. In fact, let me know of even attributed copying, if you would be so kind, as I prefer that others link rather than merely copy.
