You & SCRC:
You & Your Bike:
How did you hear about Southern Cruisers? I was sponsoring a ride for a friend of mine who had
cancer. During that event, Kip at Star City Powersports told me about the SCRC.
When did you join SCRC? May 2010
Why did you join SCRC? I was looking for more people who liked to ride.
What have you found to be the most rewarding as an SCRC member? The family bond our Chapter has
with one another.
Have you ridden with an organized group before? No
How did you earn your road name? People have called me Jesus because of how I look...
What advice would you give to a new rider or someone contemplating becoming a rider? Start on a
small bike and work your way up to one you're comfortable with. Always ride safe, and look out for the
other guy!
In your own words: "Live life to the fullest. You never know which day will be your last one!"
Now you know a little more about Iceman! Awesome!
