Hi... I'm Eric. I have a Yamaha problem. I've been through too many of them. Yamaha keeps putting out something better and I just have to have it.

Seriously, I was a Yamaha guy of old and took a 13 year break to raise kids by giving up my last bike when the twins turned 5. After they turned 18, I bought an '05 FZ6 leftover in '06. Almost two years later, I sold it and bought an '08 FZ6. One year later, after a trip to the Dragon, I returned and traded up to the FZ1.

I'm married, 18 years, but we've been together almost 23 years. She rides too and has an '09 Yamaha FZ6R which was a trade-up from her V Star 650. I have three kids. I adopted my wife's first born child and became his Dad when he was 20 months old. We had twins not long after meeting.

Boy and a girl. They are about to turn 22.

I'm a Server/Storage Engineer for a wholesale energy company. I run the data center for not only our company but our parent company as well. Our company owns terminals in all New England states as well as New York.

I'm a hobbiest. I do a lot of woodworking, remodeling and started doing my own finish work as of late. I am a U. S. Army veteran and served during peace time from 82 - 86. I enjoy NASCAR, MotoGP, Boston Bruins, Red Sox, Washington Redskins, and above all, motorcycles be it riding or tinkering with them. I also do some hiking, kayaking and a lot of cooking. Dad and Grampa were cooks for their families, thus am I.

Toyota, Yamaha and Sony are most of what you'll see around my house. Sam Adams is the perfect beer(s).

Finally, I love to learn new stuff. I research everything to death and absorb as much as possible about anything that interests me. I read a lot but none of it is recreational. All for learning.
