UPDATE...August 28 2011 an inattentive driver turned in front of me on my Harley as I was doing 55 MPH. I was in the hospital for almost a month,I was airlifted as they thought I would die, I had broken my Hip, Femur, Knee, Tibia and Fibula. After extensive surgery and a rebuild I am starting to get around and hope to make a full recovery. My bike is toast...the pictures are in the default. It is nice to still be alive. Just a dude out to enjoy life and have as much fun as possable. I like to do everything and will do whatever is necessary to make myself and others happy. I was a welder for 20 years, I welded aluminum, stainless, and steel. I also did more than my fair share of torch and plasma cutting, thus the name Sparky. I am now in a different vocation, but the name still sticks. Hardly anyone ever calls me that name, but it is still a badge of honor to me. I was also an aircrewman in the Navy, my job was finding and killing submarines. I spent 3 years on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Constellation.I flew in the S3-A aircraft. Feel free to contact us if you are real. Please no fakes or people wanting to sell crap. I was a Conductor on a railroad for 3 years...I am now an engineer on the largest railroad in the U.S. I love model railroad equiptment, streetrods and muscle cars, music & movie collecting is a large part of my life also.
