Wayne's Page

I am married to my wonderful wife Judy we have raised five children and we're very proud of them. We also have seven grand children and four great-grand children. I have worked as a Senior Programmer, Lead Programmer, Analyst and a Senior Systems Programmer. I currently work for V-Twin Designs designing and coding websites. I do the toting and carrying for my wife when she is showing our dog Olivia, as well as filming her when when they are in the ring competing in agility, obedience and lure coursing.

We are very proud of our dog Olivia. She has won many titles in agility and obedience. We are especially proud that she was invited to the AKC National Obedience Invitational (NOI) in Orlando Florida in December 2012 where she won the Top Toy title and was in the top ten of all breeds in the U.S. and Canada.

I also enjoy shooting and riding my motorcycle with my wife and our dog, actually we travel three up. We like to travel, ride our motorcycle to rallies and visit our children, grand children and friends. I also enjoy long distance riding (but this I do alone) and have completed five Iron Butt rides. I would also like to do a Coast to Coast at some point. When I was younger I really enjoyed racing sports cars, but was expensive and had stop, so now it's shooting and motorcycles.

The picture below was taken when I traded in my Wide Glide and picked up the Ultra Classic. It's amazing how well the Ultra handles, it actually handles like a much smaller bike.

I really enjoyed riding the Wide Glide, it was great for one person. However, when traveling three up on the motorcycle it was a little bit like the "Beverly Hillbillies". The Wide Glide was overloaded and didn't handle all that well with the extra weight. The Ultra Classic is designed for touring and carrying the extra weight, most importantly though my wife was much more comfortable with much more leg room and doesn't need for me to stop as often.

Oddly enough I have done all of my Iron Butt rides on the Wide Glide, which is a great one person bike. Maybe I can make the Coast to coast ride on the Ultra.
