THIS IS WHO YOU WOULD MEET TODAY
.....hello there and thanks for checking this out.....my name is
Jim, also known spiritually (and from some old biker buddies) as
the Dingo or the DingoMan.....a resident of Austin Texas for
about 23 years....I left Austin to begin my road journey in search
of my partner, buddy, soulmate, and new friends Labor Day
2001  - family and close friends say that I am a rebel, a drifter
BUT what I really am is a man who has learned to live Life without
fear - one who knows how to enjoy everything that's out there (I
do have a roof over my head in Austin, one that can be
permanent but I have chosen NOT to settle in with extended
family)..... responding to ADS placed on Positive Personals, AND
wanting to find a new home (I left the comfort of one in Austin), I
took many trips into the Ozarks, Canyons, Mountains and over
60,000 miles of roads throughout the United States....many long
drives on beautiful roads, many lonely nights.....please allow me
to give you just a short bit of other info about myself... there are
many links within these pages and pics...(CLICK HERE for more
of my PERSONAL THOUGHTS on things and to see more
photos).....infected by a dirty tattoo needle (ink), I am a healthy
53 year old HIV poz long time survivor ('82 was the year of
infection and '84 was the year I diagnosed under the pilot
program for the test).....(still alive & kicking and if ya have a
problem with it [HIV] then just move on!).....standing at only
5'9" this old biker is just your average looking guy who was born
into the Biker culture and have had two good LTRs and three
short terms with men, been married twice (70's 80's)....my
interests include motorcycles, leather, mud, oil, travelling,
exploring, The Grateful Dead, rock & roll, camping, getting up
each day to embrace Life, adventure, and much more (CLICK
HERE for the links pages)......I did reside in the Big Bend high
desert area near the border of Mexico, living as a modern
primitive miles off the main roads.....I also maintain my primary
residence in Austin with family whom I visit with throughout the
year..... I'm looking for others in friendship around the
USA.....especially other BI/Gay/Lesbian bikers - I do not identify
as being mainstream gay, I am who I am NOT "what" I am......if
you and I ever meet along the way and you want to have a cup
of joe, holler or signal at me -  we'll share, maybe live a bit of our
broken dreams together or if you want to just say hello please
email me (put DINGO in the subject line) at
DingoManUSA@yahoo.com
Rough,  Raw,  Ready  &  At  Large!
.....Living and Loving Life Without Fear.....
Thank You Seth Cook for INSPIRING ME TO LIVE LIFE!
I hope you enjoy this site   -   Jim  aka "da Dingo"

People that know me will say what I believe in is
honest, that I am who I say I am and worth meeting in
person. Those who know me will say that I am a good
old boy with a sense of values and ethics. I am
comfortable with who I am. I do not have to take any
online tests assessing masculinity traits. I have no
need to be in contact with people who have
words/letters such as UB2 VGL Professional Hung
str8  "masculine" "butch" or detailed descriptions of
what they have between their legs  the people I enjoy
being in contact with are those who can see past
conceit and deception, past being superficial and who
just see more than "gay".
I don't take the time to answer emails from those who
play games and live outside of reality. Nor do I have
time for people who are "needy" or feel they are a
"victim" and cannot take responsibility for their own
lives. If you are caught up into a "gay bubble" and
cannot see others and the world around you, we will
not get along, don't waste your time with me!

Most say they are going to visit an online contact and
really don't plan to do so. In their anonymity and
fantasy world, many people online get their
excitement from pretending to be something they are
not. Many who "run ads" say they answer all and don't
even take the time to reply back with a simple "thank
you" - and they wonder why they're still looking and all
alone in their space. Some go even further to say
theu are "centered" or "grounded" when in fact it's
nothing more than their way of "baiting" innocents.
They justify this dishonesty & deceit. I strongly believe
that it is wrong for people to misrepresent themselves.
If you decide to contact me, I am expecting that you
have the honesty and ethics that I have. It is up to you
to deceive or not but what you do reflects upon you,
there are just as many of us who are honest online as
we are in real life. You make your bed and you have
to lay in it ? and remember, what you put out comes
back upon you!

If you have any problems with what I have said above
then look deep within yourself a bit more and ask
yourself why this offends you, leave this site, not
contact me and do not waste your time.
Otherwise, please accept my warmest welcome and
enjoy your visit to my personal pages.

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.  This I did."
