Interview with WheatonFJR

[camera56]

Here's a snip from my interview with WheatonFJR. Priceless . . .

What was the first bike you owned?

My first bike was a brand new Honda CB 550F - purchased two months after high school with a small loan from the bank. No rider safety courses in them days, so a friend rode it from the dealership to a parking lot and showed me how to use the controls and watched me as I got acquainted with the bike by doing parking lot drills.

The next day, he wasn’t available to do that again so, being antsy, I rode the bike (w/o license) over to the girl friend’s house to show it off. As I’m about there, a police car following me puts on his lights and pulls me over right as I park in front of the house.

Yeah…a little embarrassed - okay, mortified - as her dad is mowing the yard and giving me a glowering evil eye. (He never did like me anyway). I got a nice chat with the police officer…and then had to call my friend over to ride my bike home. Talk about throwing a wet blanket on the whole day! HA.

Oh man, I had a MUCH BETTER picture you could have used. Wheaton knows the one I'm talking about, but I am in a good mood this morning, so I wont post it.

Would that be a "get Wheaton a 'stitch" photo??? If so, that's a classic post!

Great interview. I totally understand this statement:

"My main reason for having a motorcycle is to see as much of this land from the seat of my motorcycle as I possibly can before I die -whenever that is. It doesn’t always have to be a curvy road…but it does have to be off the interstate 99/100."

Can I get an "Amen" to that?!!? :clapping:

 

[dcarver]

Camera56, your interviews just keep getting better and better. :clapping:

Wheaton, dude, I gotta meet you some day! Great responses, level headed, with just a bit of hooligan lurking underneath.

Thanks for sharing with Camera56 and the rest of us forum dudes n' dudettes.

I agree totally. I've really enjoyed the interviews so far and look forward to more. I've had the pleasure of meeting wheatonFJR and you're right, you do have to meet him some day. He's a great guy and I think you've pegged his personality.

Thanks to Camera56 for the great interviews and to Mark for sharing a little bit about the guy behind the face shield :thumbsup:

Yes, I was referring to the infamous Wheaton needs a Stich photo.

Amen to seeing as much as possible from the seat of a motorcycle.

From the limited amount of time I have spent with Wheaton, he is not only very level headed, but one of the genuinely nicest guys I have met. What do you have to do to piss Wheaton off?

 

[wheatonFJR]

Thanks for your interview work camera...your website is pretty cool.

As far as the other comments...thanks but yer embarrassing me. And Trigger, I know you asked the question about pissing me off...cuz I know yer lookin' to do it if you can find the way.

Bestest and quickest way to piss me off...mess with my friends.
