Been riding for 30 years…coaching for 9.  On my 13th Harley Davidson MC…all touring bikes but two ’cause that’s how I like to ride…cross country…SAFELY…which is why I became MSF certified and TN licensed in the first place…to help ensure others know how to and will ride safely as well!  HDRA makes a difference! 

Mike Z.

A native Memphian, I’ve been riding since 1980. My current ride is a 2022 HD Road Glide Special. I’ve owned several Harleys – a Sport Glide, 2 VRod Muscles, 2 Sportsters, and my first bike, a 1980 Honda CB750F.

I’m in my 9th year of rider training and an estimated 550 riders have taken wings right before me.I attended Memphis State University (now the University of Memphis), graduating with B.S.E.E. degree. I also played football for Memphis back in the mid-70s (offensive line – center and guard). My other job was in electrical design engineering for many years. I’m a Business Applications Analyst in the I.T. department at FedEx, working on package tracking.

When I’m not working on IT, I often roam the backroads all around Memphis. Sometimes I might even go to another state!
