sharpshooter bio

Steven Henson

My interest in motorcycles started when I was about 10 years old after seeing one of my neighbors riding his bike during the spring and summer, but I could never get him to take me for a ride. In the back of my mind I said to myself "One day I'll have my own." As the years had come and gone I went through peaks and valleys until about 5 years ago when a buddy of mine and another buddy's wife took the motorcycle safety course and received their licenses, then the desire went full force. My first bike was a 1990 Kawasaki ZX-10, then a 2003 ZX-9R, and finally after waiting patiently a 2005 ZX-12R that I call "The Predator".

I was born and raised in Baltimore City, spent 4 ½ years overseas, and upon my return I lived in Baltimore again — Woodlawn, Randallstown and Owings Mills. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, watching and reading about motorcycles, and going to motorcycle functions. Some of my other interests are watching The Discovery, Learning, Military and Sci-Fi channels, as well as going to the movies, target shooting, grilling, and taking a look at the everyday things in life that people tend to take for granted. People have told me that I’m a good listener and a lot of them have been total strangers. I have found that sometimes just having someone to listen and not respond to right away can help people through some difficult times.

In March 2004 while in Daytona, FL for bike week with four other friends, we noticed the amount of motorcycle clubs that were there and the harmony that was felt among them. So on the way back to Maryland while having a nice sit down meal the decision was unanimously made to start a club, not just any club but one that reflected who we were as individuals and as a whole. We talked about it and researched different club names and, with the input of another club president, The Tribesmen were created from a group of guys that started as neighbors then grew as friends and to an extended family.

All my life I have been talented with numbers (money, math and science... but not time, no sense of time). I love all sports, accounting, dancing, networking / communing / partying with friends and fitness. I've been accused of being too particular and too detailed but that's not a bad thing. I have been interested in motorcycles since I was a young boy but being the oldest of 10 siblings in the Washington, D.C. area it was tough enough just maintaining a single family vehicle. Therefore the thought of a single passenger vehicle was way out of the question. My focus then turned towards education and sports. I knew that through one of those means I would one day be able to afford and appreciate a motorcycle of my own. Today, I am a proud TSU (Towson State University) alumni, TSU football alumni,

and CPA (Certified Public Accountant) who has achieved much success and stability to where I was able to purchase my first very own bike in 2000, a 1994 Honda CBR 1000F (Hurricane). I treated it well and it treated me well. Prior to the purchase of my bike, my neighborhood at the time, in Randallstown MD, included many respectable, professional guys who were husbands and fathers and who also were bike owners/riders. Although I've always wanted to own a bike, I've always had my doubts about the possible dangers and stereotypes. The respected gentlemen in my neighborhood, mostly by their examples and their lessons of encouragement, showed me that fear is due to lack of knowledge, wisdom and preparation. As a result, in 1997 I signed up for the motorcycle riding and safety class and began to subscribe to motorcycle magazines and visit several websites on the internet, learning about motorcycle safety, motorcycle fun, motorcycle fitness, motorcycle groups and community service. After purchasing my first bike, I joined in on many group rides with the guys in neighborhood. We soon became a close knit group of friends. We later decided to create our own bike club, one that is designed to emulate success and living by example. We wanted to show group's camaraderie as all bike clubs do but we wanted to specifically express our respect for each other, our openness to others, our care for our families and our care for our community much like the leaders of a Tribe. Therefore, we are the Tribesmen MC of Baltimore, MD.

I started out riding dirt bikes and ATV’s at the age of 14. I’ve always enjoyed riding them so in August of 2001 I decided to purchase my first sportsbike, a Katana 600. I kept that bike for about 3 year and decided to upgrade. I sold the Katana and that’s when I got my GSXR. I joined the Tribes men Motorcycle Club in June of 2005, which is a great club to bein. Within the club each member has a personalized nickna me which describes your job within the club. My nickname is none other than Picasso which describes me personallyand also what I bring to the club. I’m a professional auto painter and bodyman. That’s the story of Picasso…..

Growing up in a motorcycle family, I have been around bikes all my life. When I was a kid I used to ride on the back of my cousins' and uncles' bikes feeding my thrive for the sport. After growing up I took the motorcycle course so I could ride solo :). After riding other bikes I decided to get my own bike, in 2002 I got a Honda CBR600F4i after that in 2004 I stepped up to a Honda CBR1000RR. I rode solo for a while before joining a motorcycle club. After leaving THAT club I started again riding solo - occasionally riding with the Tribesmen. My uncle Wayne (Chief Surgeon) convinced me to join the Tribesmen, I have been there ever since. You can catch me up and down the East Coast driving a tour bus or on my red and black Honda, if you see out there give me (Re-Flex) a holla. See Ya :)

My riding days began when I was eight years old. I had a mini bike that was purchased from Montgomery Ward. Over the years I have owned dirt bikes and sport bikes. It was obvious my love for riding grew over the years. Because of family obligations, I had to put my riding days on hold. Then in 2001 I saw a Kawasaki In a friend’s garage. It needed lots of work. I then turned my love for riding into a hobby working on bikes. Suddenly the love for riding was reborn. I took an advanced course with the Baltimore Police Department, where I am presently employed. To this day, the riding has not stopped. “RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE”

It has been said that the best leadership is by example. That statement sums me up completly. I am one of the original members of the tribe. I have served as Vice President since the enception of Tribesmen MC. Those who roll on throttles know me as the Chief Surgeon. My insignia is two wrenches crossed. Simply put, I have the technical and mechanical skills to repair or rebuild your bike. This is my passsion. I have been doing this since my youth. My house is known as the club house for the Tribe. Its not uncommon to see the club members in my garage repairing or detailing our bikes or in my home eating my food and cunduting business. I keep some cold ones chillin and will always have a word of encouragement in my mouth. 

Professionally, you can find me at Lincoln Technical Institute training tomorrows mechanics. They better out me on one of those D*&#%^ commercials soon. I am proud to help establish this progressive club. I have had the opportunity for years to join other clubs. No disrespect to others, but they didn't have everything I was looking for. We are a group of individuals who work hard, honor our families, put God first, and ride with purpose. My wepon of choice is a Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster. I know you see all that Chrome. To this day IT HAS NEVER SEEN A DROP OF RAIN!!!  I am the most experienced rider in the club and welcome any opportunity to share my experiences. If you earn it, you can make the wall of fame. But trust this, you have to put some love in your bike. What is love you ask? In short, keeing your bikes performance and cleanliness at the highest level. For a reference, see the above mentioned Harley 1200. This is my word and by bond. Ride on!

Growing up in a small town in Virginia there was not much to do for a young free spirited kid. Now I was not born back before the Ice Age but Play Stations and Intendos did not exist during my adolescent days so most of us enjoyed being outdoors. My most memorable ti mes of growing up in the country were the ti mes spent on the trails of my grandparent’s property. See Pops went out and bought me a brand new Honda 50 Trailbike and I was the envy of all my cousins. While they had those little mini-bikes with the lawnmower engines, pull rope starter and all, I had a Honda. Never the less, we all enjoyed riding the trails. As I grew up, I graduated to bigger bikes. Never owning my own bike but always riding so meone else’s.

After my parents divorced and my Mom remarried, we moved to Ft. Jackson, SC. My step-dad was a military man so I got a taste of the military life. After graduating high school, I saw the Military as a way to get a start in life so I beca me a soldier in the U.S. Army. The military took me to the West Coast and then over seas to Germany. What a great experience. After getting out of active duty I moved to Maryland and made it ho me. I’m employed with the U.S. Postal Service and retired from the Army Reserves after 21 years of service. I finished my final years in the Army Reserves as a Drill Instructor (DI) specialized with a Military Police background. After putting it off for so long, in August of 2000 I was able to satisfy my desire to get back on a bike. I purchased a 2000 Honda RC51. Yeeeeaah Boy! After riding around with a bunch of different guys I felt the need to be with a group of dedicated and disciplined folks. That’s what I found when I was introduced to the members of the Tribes men Motorcycle Club. With my military background I felt the camaraderie instantly and they instantly saw it fitting to give me my club na me. SGT ROCK. Thus began my days as a Tribesman. Whether we are partying it up or in a heated debate, there is always unity at the end of the day. Now that’s what I’m talking about. Ride On!
