Troy bought a 2005 Royal Blue Goldwing in January of 2005. It is not his first motorcycle, but his first touring bike and a dream he has had for many years.

What other Goldwings/Honda motorcycles have you owned?

Troy has owned many motorcycles and has been riding since he was 15. Cindy rode a Honda 90 many years ago but has loved being the co-rider on this new loveseat on wheels.

How many years have you been a member of GWRRA?

Troy and I have only been members since a February of 2005. We have not been with the chapter long, but have found a great group of people to ride with and new friends. We are now moving forward as Chapter Directors and are very excited about this organization.

Who is your Co-Rider?

Cindy is my wife and co-rider. We have been married three years in May and she is my best friend and loves the motorcycle as much as I do.

Do you have any kids?

We each have children from previous marriages. Troy has two sons, Justin 27 & Nick 26, who are also motorcycle lovers but mostly dirt bikes. Cindy has one son, Jake 10, who lives with them.

What city do you currently live in? Where are you original from?

We live in Goleta and Cindy is a Native Santa Barbarian. Troy was born in Anchorage, AK, but was a military brat and the family settled in Winfield, Kansas. Troy moved to Santa Paula as a teenager and had lived in Ventura until about 4 years ago.
