Bob has always enjoyed riding but took a few years off to raise a family. For his 50th birthday his wife bought him a 99 Yamaha Roadstar and they ride as often as possible with a teenager at home.

Bob completed the BRC and learned that after all his years of riding he could still learn something new. This got him interested in getting his Georgia MSF RiderCoach Certification. He is looking forward to instructing new riders on how to ride safely.
