Hello,

my name is Luis Hernandez, Jr. I am CEO at The Motor Bookstore, a retailer of repair manuals for pretty much anything with a motor in it.

I was born in Punta Arenas, Chile (a skip and a jump across Antarctica), where I lived until my early 20s.

I've been a motorhead since my parents gave me a Honda CT70 back in the 1970s. Since then I have rebuilt many motorcycles, cars, trucks, etc. and even attempted to build a couple experimental aircraft in my home garage several years ago. Thankfully I realized that it was safer (and cheaper) to rent aircraft rather than attempt to build them. I am a private pilot although I have not flown for several years. Those "$100 hamburgers" got a lot pricier since gas prices skyrocketed).

In 2002 I purchased a road bike for fun and fitness and the bug bit me pretty hard. Since then I have owned many road bikes and usually ride, on average, about 5000 to 7000 miles per year. I also tried and enjoyed bike racing and eventually got my Cat. 3 USAC license. I mostly race the Masters 45 category here in Central Florida and am a founding member of Armada Racing, a local race team.

I stay busy with my business, riding my bike, Facebooking, Google+ and other social media venues.
