  Herb AndersonHerb is an excellent rider, and enjoys carving the curves on one of his Beemers. "Riding is a way of life for our family," says Herb. "When our children were 14 and 16, we sold the house, quit our jobs and went touring for a year by motorcycle. That year, we saw all 48 lower states, all 10 Canadian provinces and about 8 Mexican states. Our son and our daughter both consider this trip an experience of a lifetime." Herb and Reno have ridden in India, Republic of South Africa, Zambia, Malawi and Ukraine as well as USA, Canada and Mexico. Prior to owning Grass Roots BMW Motorcycles, Herb was in senior management at Hannigan Motorsports and LTI and helped both companies through a period of substantial growth. Herb's riding record of three decades includes the Iron Butt Rally, the 8/48 ride, the Utah 1088, and the Alberta 2000 which he co-founded with Jan Repsch. Herb just plain out loves to ride. herb@grassrootsbmw.com  Reno Anderson"Reno", Herb's wife, has ridden her own bike for 21 years, the first 10 years on two wheels and tiptoes (lowered K75) and then 5 years on a trike (R1150RT), and more recently has been riding sidecar rigs (5 different Beemers). While not as hard core as Herb, she has put more miles on a trike than anyone she knows, and now rides whatever is available in the shop.
