3. Will dennyo ever get tired of posting pics?
4. Will we ever not speculate next years models?
5. Will we never NOT hear; that will void the warranty?
6. Will the 110 c.i. ever inhabit our new stock bikes?

1) The only thing worse than a 5mph crawl in 90*+ weather in rush hour traffic is the 3mph crawl.
2) I've found a place to put my gas cap while fueling.
3) Riding is my only respite.
4) Mmmmm doughnuts!
5) Mmmmm bacon!
6) Mmmmm doughnuts with bacon!

1) why is it the more $$ I make, the more $$ I spend
2) why is it the older you get, the faster time goes by
3) why can't someone invent something to fold and put away your clean laundry

Here we go...

1. I had a Honda 50 when I was 10 years old, and it broke. I wanted a motorcycle all my life, but I never took the desire seriously.
2. 4 years ago, my 26 yr old son & only child, Nathan, died.
3. Nathan had passed MSF class but hadn't gotten a bike yet.
4. In the depths of my own misery last year, I realized I needed professional help, but opted for a motorcycle as a positive outlet.
5. Over the last year, I've thought about my motorcycle more than just about anything else. When I'm not riding, I'm thinking about riding, or modding.
6. I have 5 guitars and 3 amps, I've played guitar for 18 years, but I've hardly touched any of them since I got a bike.
7. I have a picture of Nathan holding his helmet in my garage, I see it every time I suit up.
8. I would love a Low Rider or a Softail, but don't have the money for either, so it may be another 49 years. (Not selling the guitars...)
9. I have Nathan's initials on the back fender of my bike.
10. Riding has quite possibly saved my life.

1. I am surprised at how much I love my wife's 48. Never liked the older iron head Sportsters.
2. I will still take the Softail for longer rides every time.
3. I really like how little chrome is on either bike.
4. I hate those little spots of tree stuff that settle on every spot on my bike when I park in the shade
5. My mom passed away last November. I think about her every day
6. My dad passed away 20 years ago. I think about him every day
7. I love playing guitar
8. I love playing in a Blues band. Am gigging regularly, and wish I could make a complete living at it
9. I make lists constantly
10. I am looking forward to moving to California to be near my grandkids (and 3/5 of my kids... I miss them)
