Hi, my name is Dan Whitmore. I have been a tool and die maker for 30 of my 49 years. After 3 of my 4 children finished college in 2005 (#4 is a freshmen at Michigan State University) it was time to start my dream. I purchased an Ultra and proceeded to put 26K miles on it over the next 18 months. Last year I bought my current 2007 Goldwing and logged an additional 14K all in anticipation of my ultimate goal...Alaska. My wife of 30 years (non rider) had reservations with me making a solo trip so a quick internet search found DrSign and the rest will soon be history.
