was an accident that turned into a dream. It started when I discovered
I had cancer, and I decided to get after all of the things I'd always wanted
to do but didn't do because I was too busy "living life". There's something
about thinking you're gonna die sooner than you expected that makes you
re-evaluate what living life is really all about. Anyway, I always wanted to
buy a motorcycle and ride around the country. And since I was facing some
operations and treatment, I wanted some "brightness of the
future"...something to look forward to. So I bought a bike. Then I proceeded
to get well enough to go ride it around the country. Did I mention that I
was getting a divorce while all of this was going on? That wasn't
doing wonders for the ol' mental attitude either, and a good long bike trip
was looking like a fine idea by the time I was well enough to go do it, so I
did it. I took a video camera along, thinking I would make some memories of my
trip. That first video wasn't too good, but it wasn't bad either, and it
occurred to me that other riders might like to see what it looked like. It
also occurred to me that I didn't want to spend any more of my life behind a
desk, so the idea of VideoBiker started evolving. And it's been a
evolution....a steep learning curve on video production; lots of problems to
solve, an endless list of equipment I really needed but couldn't quite
afford, and lots of miles out on the road in all kinds of weather to make it
happen. I had a little help from my ol' pal Johnny P., who also knows firsthand the joys of cancer and nasty divorces, and who also happens to have both some marketing know-how and the ability to push me forward during those times when I thought this was all just too much for me to ever figure out. I owe John big-time. He's told me that if I am successful, a nice shiny Road King would be a good start towards compensating him for his troubles and assistance. I'm not sure he was joking, either. Anyway, at the end of the day, what we have here is a couple of guys, a couple of cameras, a motorcycle (mine...John likes his creature comforts too much to ride his scooter cross-country), and a lot of work invested in making these videos. Everybody's heard that saying: "If you build it, they will come." Well, folks, we built it; John and I. Yaknow, the truth is, after 50 years I've finally discovered what I really love doing, and I have to convince you to turn loose of some of your hard-earned dollars and buy these videos if I'm going to get to keep on doing it. I think you'll like them; they make great gifts; and John wants to start living in the style to which he'd like to become accustomed, so please go on back over to the home page and order a video or two that looks good to you, and please tell your friends about VideoBiker.
