Born To Be Wild

Can you identify this Huntington Master’s Swimmer?

After an E-Z Friday workout, he traded in his swim cap and kickboard for a helmet and 400 pound, 25 year-old candy-apple red Honda motorcycle!

OK, OK, “Candy-Apple Red” is stretching the description a bit but we are talking about a cycle that took to the roads for the first time in 1983 – a quarter of a century ago! (Though I must admit that it looks pretty "Candy-Apple Red" in this picture.)

So strain your eyes and see if you can figure out exactly who this “Born To Be Wild” mystery cyclist is… hint, it is NOT Bob Miller!
