Henry Winoker ’74

When Henry Winokur ’74 made plans to return to Cornell for his 35th class reunion, he knew there was only one way to make the 1,000 mile trip. By motorcycle. Winokur, who has been a motorcycle safety instructor for almost 20 years and has been riding for about 33 years (though he says he cannot remember exactly), rode over 17 hours from his home in Bethesda, Md., to Mount Vernon by way of Iowa City in just two days. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I was afraid if I waited for my next reunion, it wouldn’t happen,” said Winokur. He was featured in the Washington Post last year for “Cruising for a Cause,” where he raises awareness for various causes by riding his motorcycle. He currently rides a 2007 BMW R1200RT that he has customized so it fits him much better than the stock machine.
