In January 2007 I joined Simi Valley, California HOG Chapter and in April 2009 I became a member of Rose City HOG Chapter. I ride a 2-tone custom blue, 2001 HD Ultra Classic, named "Beautiful Jenny". I saw her one Saturday and a week later I owned her. This was my present to myself for my 65th birthday. A month later I completed the riders course to get my motorcycle endorsement and started riding. I had never ridden any motorcycle in my life prior to October 2006. As of December 2011 I have logged over 60,000 miles including one fantastic journey in 2008 of three months covering 9,273 miles, motorcycling, camping and seeing the USA. I travelled alone and each day’s question was "Where will I be at sunset tonight?"

I have done photography for over 60 years and in the period of 1962 to 1980 I did it professionally. Then in the early 21st century I got back into it again with the advent of digital photography. For several years I was a photo journalist for a weekly Rotary publication.

I retired in 2008 after 20 years as an Independent Insurance Broker, owning my own agency in Southern California. The prior 22 years I spent as an engineer in the aerospace, defense and electronics industries.

I have two adult daughters from a prior marriage and I married "Jazzy Char" in August 2010. We live in the southeast Vancouver Fisher Landings area, which is off of Washington Highway 14. My email is ED.KOTRHD@gmail.com and “KOTRHD” stands for “King Of The Road Harley-Davidson”.

"Screw it, let’s ride!" "Harley ED" Darling.

I have rode some kind of motorcycle as far back as the early sixties. I love to search out and ride my Harley to unusual and unique places, then taking photographs and telling people about my adventures.

I enjoy being a member of the Rose City HOG Chapter. It gives me an opportunity to participate in group rides and Chapter events. I always look forward to meeting and making new friends.

If you love to ride your Harley Davidson Motorcycle and like adventure. I invite you to become a member of the Rose City HOG Chapter and ride with us.

If you have any questions or need more information. Please contact me.
