COACH PETER
In 1991 I walked into a Harley dealer and bought a new Electra Glide - the dealer had to deliver the bike since I didn't have a license and in fact had never ridden a motorcycle. 6/22/1991 I completed a state run Beginning Rider Course (BRC) and then the fun began.
2009 I became certified as an MSF Instructor.
2011(?) I joined the Harley Riders Edge program as an instructor
I coached for the state program as well as Harley (10-20 courses per year).
I am a Life Member of H.O.G. since 1991 and have served several Chapters over my years of riding.
In 1995 I enrolled in the H.O.G. Mileage Award program and at the end of 2019 earned my 200,000 mile rocker (over 250,000 total).
My wife is comfortable as a passenger and we have visited 44 of the lower states along with most of Canada (missing NY, DE, NJ, RI on the bike). We've been from Portland ME to Portland OR along with Key West FL and Eureka CA and can't say where we like it best - home is Crystal Lake IL.
Our children are grown and have graced us with several grand children we tend to spoil.
I retired in 2020 and to celebrate we took a trip with our best friends - 39 days, 8200 miles and only got rained on for 3 hours. It took us a year to plan this ride and I would like to claim we planned the rain but can't really do that.
The photo attached is me on the rim of Crater Lake OR - a volcano that has filled with water from rain and snow.
I moved my teaching credentials to Kegel's last fall and am looking forward to getting back to a family business that wants to provide new riders (and old) a "White Glove" experience and encouragement to see a new level of enjoyment, the life changing experiences and friendships that await Harley riders.
