I have been a motorcycle nut since my first ride back in 1960 on an NSU 250. I was the passenger and knew then and there that I would have 2 wheels in my life.
I am from Courtice, Ontario just East of Oshawa, and moved to the beautiful Okanagan with my fiancé Shirley in 1974. We have been married since 1976 and have two children, Alisha and Bradley.
The day is not long enough for me once I get out on that highway. My saying is, “Life is nothing but memories. So get up, get out and get riding”.
I am proud to be a member and now the President of OMRA. My current bike is a 2015 Suzuki 650 V-Strom.
Cheers and Safe Riding! |

I I was considering retirement and wanted to get a bike suitable for touring.
I had the motorcycle endorsement on my license but had not ridden in 20 years, so in 1998 I took the very basic motorcycle endorsement course at the Boundary Bay Airport on the lower mainland.
In 2003 I did 40 hours of training in law enforcement motorcycle riding at the Renton Washington” Northwest Motorcycle School”.
My first Harley was a 2000 Electra Glide Classic, I now have a 2002 Harley Road King which I have logged about 75,000 Ks on.
My wife and I retired at the same time in 2001 and we moved to Penticton. I joined O.M.R.A. right away and have found it a great place to meet people with similar interests and get involved in community service.

My name is Jack Batstone.
I was born and raised in Penticton and started riding motorcycles when I was 16 and have had several bikes since.
Started working at the Penticton Hospital and 1970 and stayed till my retirement in 2009. I married Debbie Stokes in 1980.
Bought my current bike 2009 Yamaha V-Star for my retirement in that same year and in now have over 100,000 kms.
I joined OMRA in 2010 and have met a lot of great people
I enjoy getting out on my bike everyday for just a few hours or a overnight ride somewhere.
Poker runs are a great way to meet new people and get some sun.
Looking forward to taking over the reins from Roy Colmer for the Toy Run. I will be asking OMRA members for some help with tasks that will make the Toy Run a success.
Ride safe and smart

My introduction to riding was when my car died and my brother gave me his Kawasaki LTD 750 to use.
So... up I went to the nearest parking lot, and muddled through...it wasn't pretty. I rode from Aldergrove to the top of Burnaby Mtn. S.F.U., from September through March...quite the experience with rain at lower levels and snow up the mountain.
Bikes have included 750 Kawasaki LTD, Yamaha Virago 750, a Honda American Classic 1100, a chopped lowered and stretched 66 Harley in a 46 knuckle frame, and my Yamaha Road Star 1620
It makes no difference to me where or what I ride, as long as I ride with the wind on my face, the warm sun on my back, and there's pavement to explore It's pure joy!
Life can change in an instant, so enjoy it!
I will do my best for OMRA, in honor of Dad, John Ortiz
