My 9 year old son Simon, (Simo), wife Donna, Kustom painting, airbrushing, pinstriping, Playstation II, crashing my website, and running my Q&A forum. I also like teaching, travelling, breaking, (& repairing) my 64' Caddie. Ignoring my 62' Lincoln Continental, and forgeting about my 58' Jag. Riding,(and not riding) my 2002 R1 Yamaha/MV Agusta Hybrid. Drums, Guitar, and writing. If there are any other interests that you feel I have neglected, please feel free to comment.

Television
Don't really watch it, except for movies, cartoons, and getting a laugh out of lame reality shows. On second thought,..., Scratch that. I like Old School TV: Twilight Zone, The Prisoner, Alfred Hitchcock presents, Star Trek, and The Biker Build off series. Actually,...I watch a hell of a lot of it. I have an 8 year old son, so I have also become a Nickelodeon affectionado.
