About the Motorcycle Views Web site

My name is Walter Kern.

Walter KernI spent seven and a half years as the Motorcycles Guide on About.com. Now I'm branching out on my own. I'm still writing articles and features about motorcycles. The Motorcycle Views site presents my views on motorcycles.

I created the Motorcycle Views Blog on January 4, 2007.

The Motorcycle Views Web site, containing my growing list of motorcycle content, was established on January 11, 2007.

The Motorcycle Views Forum was established on February 17, 2007.

Finally, the first weekly issue of the Motorcycle Views Newsletter was issued on February 25, 2007.

Walt taking in the View at AmericadeI've been an avid motorcycle enthusiast since 1989. My wife, Jane, and I started riding motorcycles after we were 50 years old. We started on a 1981 Honda CM400T and currently each ride Honda Gold Wing Motor Trike conversions.

I'm a member of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and I've completed the beginner's and experienced rider's classes offered by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and have also taken a trike safety class.

Currently I belong to the Polar Bear Grand Tour. I created and manage their Web site. I also belong to NJ Chapter F (F Troop) of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA).

Jane and I took our first long ride on a 6000 mile tour from New Jersey to the Grand Tetons in 1993. We attended a Rider Rally in Cody, WY and the Sturgis Rally in SD on that same trip. Since then, we've attended many rallies including the Americade Rally in Lake George, NY every year since 1994.

I have a bachelor's and a master's in electrical engineering and spent 35 years working for a prominent telephone research laboratory before retiring in 1996.
