Frank started riding at 13 on his cousin's Mo-ped in Pennsylvania. His first bike was a Yahama DT400B enduro, which he rode until it wore out, then rebuilt the engine and sold it. Next up was a 1979 Honda 750K. After about 6 years on that, it was waterskiing and a hiatus from riding, except for the occasional use of a borrowed machine. Then, in 2008, a deal that couldn't be passed up on - for a 2004 Harley Dyna Low Rider - came alone. From then on, there's been no looking back.

I left my sister’s in Solana Beach around 11:00 a.m., heading south on I-5 to stop in at the San Diego Harley Davidson dealer in the Little Italy section of downtown. I forgot to put fresh plugs in at my last s...
