The really cool thing is that Barker's done all this amazingly cool stuff and he's still a hell of a nice guy.

Very true! Barker and his wife Jenny are great people. We look forward to seeing them each year in Suches.

I am always thrilled to see anybody doing something they enjoy and doing it very well.

Kudos !

I enjoy driving trucks, & after well over 20 years at it, I've got pretty good at it too.

You're welcome to come & see me do it anytime Court, but don't get too close, I wouldn't want to run over your toes!

Hahahaha. . . I spent 3 summer's hauling heavy construction equipment . . up to and including D8 Cat's and Anthey Wagons.

Unlike you . . . I was NOT good at it and took out my share of stop signs learning to turn right!

Eventually I got to the point where I could back up very well. . . but not without a lot of carnage.

I drove old White 4000 and an International Transtar 4300

I am always jealous to see anybody doing something they enjoy and doing it very well.

Ah a White, with a Detroit & a Fuller, I drove a few of those for a guy who bought them at auction from the US military in the UK, they were ex AAFES short cabover 6x4.
Barked your knuckles every time you changed gear, & your shin on the step every time you got in or out. One of their regular drivers told me "Drive it like you hate it, & it'll fly" He wasn't wrong, but boy was it thirsty!

Plans for the future? Professional Goals?

I hope to get better and better @ all thing video. Right now I want to improve my shooting and lighting skills. I consider them my strongest areas, but also the area where I could use improvement.

What developments (sic) do you see in the medium?

Change. The internet is changing the the business side of things. Tech is changing how it is made. On the professional side of film and video, technology is just growing in capabilities not necessarily smaller or cheaper. I see "Super Hi-def", "4K" and other super resolutions taking over video and film production. Its basically a high-res still camera than can shoot 24+ fps. Its is already starting with the RED camera and the DSLRs.

Tell us about some of your bikes?

I currently own 3 rides. Between them I ride about 12k miles a year.

2003 Buell XB9R Firebolt:





This was the first XB in my state. A real sweet ride. She might not be the fastest or prettiest but she is the kinkiest bike I have owned. Every time I turn her on, she returns the favor. With currently 30k miles, me and "Scarlet" have many memories together including multiple get-off-and-walk maneuvers. From long 600 mile runs to short wheelie bombing sorties, her soul always shines. I honestly cant see myself ever selling my little red tractor.

2006 Buell XB12X Ulysses:





Ah, my "Oranjello". The ugliest bike I have ever owned. A real sleeper. A hidden jewel of the motorcycle world. Jack of all trades. A mean sport bike hidden under the guise of a dirt road bagger. It's a odd site to see a Ulysses with full hard bags out corner a group of 1000cc squids like they are backing up. A comfy horse of a motorbike that can haul the mail @ a good clip, and tackle most un-paved roads. This bike has be repeatedly be baptized in many creeks and seen time on the track.

2007 Genuine Buddy 125





My Buddy. Tons of fun. 200lbs and a whopping 9hp. I ride this hog all over my urban jungle. 100mpg of twist-n-go fun. It has also seen its share or dirt roads and off road adventures.

I am currently shopping for another ride to add to the stable. Right now the Ducati 1198 is on the top of my list, but there is a lot of competition out there. Its an exciting time to be into motorbikes.

I'm away for a few days and you distracted me from copy/pasting this up. :-(

Do it when I'm back. :-)

"I have no life : ("
I used to think like that, but you have to look at yourself from different angles sometimes : )
