Stu rode motorcycles in his younger years but took a long hiatus until purchasing the initial Big Red, a 1998 Harley-Davidson Electra-Glide with a Champion Trike conversion. He rode Big Red for several years before moving up to the current Big Red, a 2009 Harley-Davidson Tri-Glide.
Donna is a retired IT worker with over 30 years in the industry, from programmer through to management. She and her late husband, Mike, full-timed for two years in an Allegro Class A motorhome while they worked as fiber optic construction inspectors. When he was diagnosed with cancer, they sold the motorhome and settled back into a house.
Widowed in 2004, she traveled the country solo in 2005, riding 27k miles through 42 states on her 2005 Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe. In 2007 she sold her home in Sparta, TN, bought a used Fleetwood Tioga Class C motorhome and hit the road with her 2006 BMW F650GS. She had sold the BMW when she met Stu in July 2008 and has since moved back to a Harley-Davidson ride, a 2011 HD SuperLow named Gypsy.
Stu met Donna at the Gillette WY Escapade in July 2008, they married in April 2009.
We lived and traveled in a 41' KZ Escalade toy hauler fifth wheel pulled by a medium duty Freightliner.
The motorcycles traveled in the 10' garage along with all the associated gear, tools and other assorted and sundry items.
We continued our RV travels for ten years (including two years spent living in Cuenca, Ecuador) before they purchased a house on 2+ acres in Clarkrange, TN with plans to add a large pole barn (Stu's Play Pen).
