Drew’s passion for motorcycles was sparked on a summer afternoon in 1971 when he saw “On Any Sunday.” From that moment, he knew riding was something he had to pursue. Ten years later, he was a bicycle messenger while attending Fordham University when a coworker asked if he wanted to buy a Honda CB350 with him. He convinced himself it was a good investment since he could do runs to LaGuardia and JFK airports for the messenger company. He immediately bought a Bell helmet and a Schott Perfecto jacket and swung his leg over for the first time!
Since then, he has always had motorcycles, primarily Japanese, but always lusted after a German. Only BMW motorcycles had enough guts to put six slots in their odometers! His first BMW changed his life. In 1998, finding himself flush with cash, he wandered into Bob’s BMW and bought a Mystic Red K75S. Drew loved that bike, but a kamikaze deer snapped it and both his legs in half!
Because of that motorcycle, he began a life in the motorcycle industry and became active in the BMW club, where he served as Vice President and President for several years. He has logged thousands of miles, shared many stories throughout the years, and had many adventures with his riding friends… and many more to come!
“While BMW still makes great motorcycles, it’s the folks that ride them that make me loyal to BMW. I’ve truly enjoyed meeting such a diverse group of riders as a parts guy at Bob’s BMW and many other interesting people at rallies throughout the past twenty, some odd years. I look forward to helping the BMWRA and its members!” said Drew.
