Secretary

Joe Smith

    Joe joined PARR in 1999 after serving 10 years overseas with the Department of State Foreign Service.  He served a Secretary in his second year with PARR.  He has laid out several poker runs and lead many rides for PARR before again departing for distance shores and a 3-year-tour of Vietnam in 2003.  After three years he did not return directly to PARR but continued his government service with two years at the Florida Regional Center.  It was at the time that Joe switched from his 1999 Honda VFR sportsbike to his current ride, a 2005 Goldwing.  Joe says the comfort of the Goldwing is more suited for the PARR overnight rides.  Since his return to the PARR area Joe’s  riding has included several grand tours and an Iron Butt Saddle Sore 1000K.  He and fellow PARR member Ron Perlik recently completed the VA Grand Tour by completing visits to 58 different locations spread throughout Virginia.
