John and Goliath

My Garage

Motorcycles are another of my passions. I ride a Honda CB750 named "Goliath" (Etien Nevar's Fresian in the movie Ladyhawke). We've been on several CAMS rides, a CAMS Around The World Tour, a fun solo ride to Boston (the city not the band), several motorcycle rallies, races at Summit Point, a poker run and lots of rides in my local area. He's a sweet bike, but every Spring my eye wanders in the direction of the local sport bike shop and those sexy liter bikes.

Goliath wants to be a Harley when he grows up. :-)

I also own a Ford F150, useful for crushing my enemies and those who disobey. :-)

Motorcycle Safety Foundation

The Capital Area Motorheads Society

The Capital Area Motorhead Society is a casual and friendly motorcycle "non-club"based in the Virginia / Maryland / Washington D.C. The CAMS started in early 1995 as a bunch of guys on the Internet who wanted to get together for safe and fun weekend rides. Everyone is welcomed to join us although we can't always gaurentee that the rides (informally called "Eat N' Rides") are close to where you live. The group has attracted quite a collection of bikes ranging from cruisers to standards to sportbikes. One CAMS has even shown up with a Moto Guzzi and sidecar hack.

The main CAMS event is the "Eat N' Ride" which traditionally starts at the Silver Diner in Fairfax VA. By some odd coincidence this diner happens to situated about 100 yards from where the group's founder lives. To be a CAMS is to ride and to ride is to eat, thus our motto...

"Eat To Ride, Ride To Eat"

Besides our weekend Eat N' Rides, we also get together on Fridays for lunch at greasy spoons in the area. The greasy spoon for each of these "Trough Rides" floats around... that is to say, our selection of a fine Washington DC area eating establishment varies. There are three criteria which qualify a resteraunt for CAMS patronage:

  1. The food must be cheap
  2. The food must be plentiful
  3. The food can taste good
