Why did you buy the kind of harley you did?

I bought my Heritage because It was to be a two up ride that I could convert to anything else I wanted as well.

What do you do for a living?

I am a Computer Network Specialist for State Gov't. I administer systems that allow me to update workstations, remote control, inventory, deploy software etc.. all from the touch of a few buttons. Totally self taught after working in construction for years.

What got you into riding?(a friend, watchin the wild ones? etc).

I have had a motorcycle since I was 9 years old, a 72 Cushman 60 enduro.
What got me started was my old brother had a mini bike and a booney bike. I still remember the day I awaited him to come home from riding in the fields down the street. It was to be my first ride and here comes my brother pushing a blown motor up the hill. When I was a kid I watched "Then came Bronson"

If in fact you actually work Do you drift off thinking about riding during the day?

As a bonified RUB I must admit to that.

Do you consider anyone "family" that is not related to you?

I am not usually a very social person in alot of aspects. But lately this group of Doof's is starting to feel like family.

If you could buy another bike. What would it be?

I really like the 07 Blue CVO Road King. But honestly I always go to the dealerships ogling at every single model. If I could I would own one of each.
Lately I find myself liking the look of a springer with that black pearl two tone paint job.

If you could change your job/career, what would you like to do?

Do nothing.
At heart I am a lazy bastard who dreams of winning the lotto to travel.
Sometimes I miss building houses. I was/am a very good carpenter. Just didn't have the drive to do it on my own.

Kids? Do they ride?

I was a terror on bikes when I was a kid. Constantly getting chased by the cops for riding on the streets. Might be why I have never bought a bike for my kids.

Why did you pick the name "BAALZ"??????????(LIke to get picked on ya masochistic bastage????)

Actually Baalz is short for a character in a series of books by Robert Jordan. Baalz is a shortened version of Baa'lzamon.
Which I have used both for well over 10 years on chat groups etc.

If you could live anywhere in the world , where would it be?( even if it meant giving up ridin' your bike).

A tropical Isle. I scuba dive and keep Coral Reef tanks.

How does your wife put up with you?

My wife and I are very much in love still after about 20 years. I am always touching and holding her. She learned years ago to put up with my crap pretty well. We may argue but in 30 minutes its totally forgotten.
It also helps to find a woman who came from a broken family. They will strive harder to not have that happen to them.

that is all
and post a pic of yourself so we can all see how ugly you are.

Here I am.. Riding a Gazinta babe.. shameful but fun.
