In 2002 my company transferred me to Charlotte, North Carolina, where I currently reside. I work in the health information /IT sector of the healthcare industry and have for nearly 20 years. My dream is to semi-retire and open a coffee house. I began considering the sport of motorcycle riding after several trips along I-95 during the spring and summer months. It just seemed like the riders where having a great time and enjoying the outdoors. Also at that time I wanted to “get moving” and meet new people. I have two daughters ages 20 and 18. I also enjoy baseball, reading, skiing, and belly dancing. I have a Yamaha and love to ride! |

Adam lives in Greensboro, Brian is in the Army and presently assigned in Afghanistan, Todd is a Marine stationed in California. I wanted my retirement years to be enjoyable and beneficial. I believed that a motorcycle was one of the tools that would bring me what I craved. I took the motorcycle safety course, and purchased a Suzuki (C50) Boulevard. The next question was , who will I ride with. I have always seen the Buffalo Soldiers riding their bikes in parades, and supporting worthwhile causes. My decision to petition to joined the organization was a no brain-er, because I like to participate and help worthy people and causes. I am looking forward to the day when I can call myself "Buffalo Soldier". My handle will be "Scorpion".

Victor Wooten I was born in Baltimore MD, and raised in South Philly, PA. I enlisted in the Army right out of High School, and never looked back. My 23 years of military service span 3 continents, crossing both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Although my Army career started in combat arms, as a Field Artillery soldier, I have experienced a myriad of training, and educational opportunities. My training includes, but is not limited to logistics, recruiting, human resources and administrative services. The Army taught me a lot about myself, and also provided a young brotha’ from the hood opportunities to expand educational horizons. I was able to set and meet several educational goals, enabling me to prepare for a successful transition into life after the Army. While I have only been retired since 06, I have enjoyed a brief stint in retail management and now I’m enjoying continued service to my country as a civil servant. My membership and affiliation with the Buffalo Soldiers provides me with the best conduit for my love of freedom and the open road. Although my riding experience spans almost 30 years off and on, the Buffalo Soldiers are the first club I have seriously considered becoming a member of. I can’t think of a legacy more deserving of the commitment of my time and dedication than that of the Buffalo Soldiers. My ride: 08 Victory Vision (TOTLVSN) My Handle: Big Woo My philosophy: Can’t help those who won’t help themselves

Chip Almost Galloway I was born in Pittsburgh, PA. During 1st Grade my family moved to just outside of the city to Wilkinsburg, PA. I graduated from Wilkinsburg High School and attended Penn State University on a Naval ROTC Scholarship. During my 2nd year at PSU, I met the love of my life (Cyndy), during her first week in school. We have enjoyed our marriage of over 27 years by exercising open communication, honesty and respect. Together we have produced two children: a son, currently serving in the USAF (preparing for deployment in March 2008) and a daughter, currently in her sophomore year of studies at Winston-Salem State University. We are both in our 2nd careers after retiring from 25 year positions in banking. I have been a motorcycle enthusiast since learning to ride at the age of fourteen. I was introduced to Harleys while living in Florida during the early 1980s. When HD broke off from AMF, they attempted to improve their image by offering test rides to any Florida resident having a helmet and a valid motorcycle endorsement. Unfortunately, personal obligations did not permit a HD purchase and I continued to enjoy my Hondas. However, after experiencing my sister fighting (and loosing) a ten year battle with Cancer, I decided to just “DO IT”. I splurged on a new 2005 HD Road King Custom. I enjoy riding any time I can and have logged over 33,000 in just under 3 years. Although I enjoy the Wing vs. HD teasing, I respect each safe motorcycle rider, even those using the extra wheel. I’m grateful for running into the fine people of F Troop. I am looking forward to getting my Full Colors and to active participation and camaraderie with the proud members of Buffalo Soldiers MC, Fayetteville, NC. |
