Sonny The Badger
My name is Sonny and my motorcycle road name is The Badger
My wife, Angie, and I are the founders of Support Bikers. Click About The Badgers to learn more about us and how a simple thought grew into a mega biker community.
A little bit about me and when I fell in love with riding.
I received my Moped when I was 6 years old living on my parent’s farm. Went through dirt bikes, 3-wheelers, 4 wheelers. Always loved riding anything I could get on.
Bought my first street bike at the age of 23 with my wife, Angie. I bought the first CBR 600 F4 in Black and Yellow that came into the local dealership, I kept it for about a year.
The wife and I had kids so bye bye toys. Until one spring day, I had the winter blues and went with my father-in-law, Gene, to the local Honda Dealership and bought a Honda Shadow Sabre 1100. Kept it for a couple of years, but life happened and had to sell it.
Fast forward to today and I have 2 Harley Davidson CVO 2005 Fatboys (the silver and red paint scheme) as well as a 2001 Harley Davidson VROD.
How “The Badger” got his name
In 2015 I bought my first Harley, a 2005 CVO Fatboy. I worked at Six Bends Harley Davidson in Fort Myers, Florida in sales at the time. My wife said “If you’re gonna sell em, then you might as well ride one.” Had an awesome sales manager but working on commission was a challenge. If you wanted a sale, then people had to know who you were so they would ask for you. That’s how I received the nick name “The Badger” and I have been the Badger ever since.
I never understood the connection and loyalty surrounding the biker community until I worked for Harley Davidson, even though I have ridden all types of motorcycles throughout my life I didn’t truly embrace the lifestyle until then.
Now it is my goal to meet and engage with as many Bikers and future Bikers as possible and share the biker lifestyle with as many people as possible, maybe even help some of the younger generation get to know and love it as much as I do.
Please let me know if you need anything.
