User:Jeff dean/Userboxes/1894 User:Jeff dean/Userboxes/Nikon User:Jeff dean/Userboxes/Python I am a member of the Motorcycling WikiProject, a WikiProject which aims to develop and expand Wikipedia's coverage of motorcycles and motorcycling. Please feel free to join us. I have been a Chief Instructor certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (http://msf-usa.org/) since 1994, and have been an MSF certified instructor since 1989. As a Chief Instructor, I train instructors for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/safety/vehicle/motorcycle/) and conduct on-site program evaluations throughout the state. In the winter, in Tucson, I teach rider courses for TEAM Arizona and occasionally train new instructors. I have been a rider of BMW motorcycles since 1967. I was on the founding board of BMW Motorcycle Owners of America (http://www.bmwmoa.org/) in 1972 and also was co-founder of Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners (http://www.vintagebmw.org/current/). In the 1990s, I served as president of BMW MOA. I have expertise, therefore, in motorcycle history (example - http://www.bmwmoa.org/features/restoration.htm) and especially BMW motorcycles. I was the founder and first president of the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (http://www.wcha.org/toc.html) and have some expertise in the history of North American canoes and canoeing. In my career before I retired, I was the State Historic Preservation Officer for the Wisconsin Historical Society and an architectural historian certified by the National Park Service. I wrote and illustrated a book, "Architectural Photography," published in 1981.
