BTW, I notice you're from Stone Harbor. I was just down there last weekend at my friends house. Awesome area!

Yeah I love it here. It makes for a long daily commute, but it is so much better during the summer when I can go on the bike. And the bottom line is when I get home, I'm two blocks from the ocean. And the ride down Ocean drive from AC to Cape May is so much nicer on the bike than in a cage.

Congrats man! I got two young kids I watch during the summer so I haven't done much riding, only 1 weekend 600 miles with my cousins...got 6000 on the '10 wide glide, but I'm paying my dues with the kids for now! I hope to kill it in the mileage dept. in the coming years!

Not me man. You ride when you can and family comes first.

To me if your heart burns for your bike, regardless of if life lets you ride, your a road buddy so to speak so, ride it when you can and enjoy every second! You are the kind of folks I'd gladly go down the road with.
