41,000 miles across Vietnam in faith and honor with a playful vengeance
Easyriders Magazine March 2018
“If you like motorcycles, HARLEY TRACKS has to be your next book. Everyday was an adventure. The writing is crisp, detailed, and flawlessly edited.”
Henry Zeybel – Editor: Vietnam Veterans of America Magazine
“There have been many books about epic bike trips–but none are like this one: brazen, brave, and seriously badass.”
Bill Hayes – Author: The Original Wild Ones & American Biker
“I appreciated the deep respect you had for my fellow soldiers, sailors, and airmen. When you called out in the Swan Song Chapter “Brothers! FALL IN – it’s time to go home.” I believe they all heard you.”
Tom Campbell – Vietnam Veteran, SEAL Team One
“I mostly avoid the Vietnam stuff, however, a very good friend sent me your book–I read all of it on Sunday.”
John A. Shaver, Jr. – Vietnam Veteran
“I’m 74 and have no experience with motorcycles. My first thoughts were, WHAT A BRAVE GUY & WHAT THE HECK, IS THIS GUY CRAZY! I truly loved the ending of your book.”
Carol Slater – St. Paul MN

I showed the Fat Boy at the Minneapolis International Motorcycle Show, again, for show and tell, only. Rob and Nathan from Two Guys and a Ride took interest with the result of the attached link to an interview. https://youtu.be/KocjVjiYoNYDecember 2019
Snow covers the Land of 10,000 Lakes (Minnesota), and consequently, the riding season is over. But another great season it was; riding for those who can't. Like many in the north country, I've torn the Fat Boy down to the engine and frame for minor repairs and clean up in preparation for the bike shows in Feb and Mar. (My annual May ride on the NVAR was another success. Mpls to Sacramento to D.C. and back to visit veterans in homes and hospitals on the 10 ride, CA to D.C. was another [...]Events of 2019
After a winter restoration, the Fat Boy received a Best Bagger at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show, and an honorable 1st Place in the Open Class at the Donnie Smith Bike Show. Great recognition for those I rode for; more to carry into posterity. Check out the wheels! I wasn’t sure how to get what I wanted.
