Who’s “Snakebit” Sam Kanish

I’m just a good old boy who loves to ride motorcycles. Back in 1971 I bought an old police Servi-Car to ride to work and ever since I’ve wanted to ride to see what was over the hill or around the next curve. Besides that old Flatty I’ve owned and ridden a Sporty, Pans, a Knuckle, Evos, a Twin Cam and even a SS350 Sprint. Way back when I rode with a local club for a couple years. Unlike some of my friends I never became a 1 per center and luckily stayed out of trouble.

Pointing the front wheels of those bikes down the road for the past 37 years has me heading towards the three quarter million mile mark. Not bad for a guy who’s had to put 40 hours a week in a couple different factories all those years. Yeah I’ve strictly been a blue collar guy all my life.

I’m a rider who writes, not a writer who rides. Besides IronWorks magazine I’ve contributed to Cycle Source and The Keystone Motorcyle Press. I’ve ridden a lot of miles, been a lot of places and met a lot of people. I hope to do more of each because I haven’t been everywhere and done all of that, yet.

What is IW Blogger?

IW Blogger is a forum for lovers of motorcycling. We know that not all bikers care about the same thing. Some like to polish their show bike while others love to ride an old rat. Some love to watch racing while the next guy might want to tour the countryside. Hopefully this site will be a melting pot for all of you.

We hope you use this blog to inform as well as learn. We want to find out what’s going on and where it’s happening. This blog gives you a chance to pass it along. So let us know what’s going on, then down the road you might see a more in-depth article in IronWorks magazine .
