Your HostsWe are Pam and Michael, avid motorcyclists who enjoy touring back roads, meeting like-minded people and exploring new sights and experiences. Michael started riding in college on a Honda 4 cylinder 350 bike, which he rode cross country one summer (ah, youth!). After a lengthy hiatus for career and family building, he resumed his passion, first with a 1975 Honda 750 with a great orange paint job. This was soon followed by a black 2001 BMW R1200C cruiser. Next up – our current 2003 BMW R1200CL, which better accommodates our passion for riding two up, especially those longer trips. We’re active in several local and national riding organizations and have had the great privilege and pleasure of meeting and getting to know many, many great fellow riders.BMW Motorcycle 2003 R1200CL
