I feel for you guys in the snow. I think I would go out of my mind! Don't hate me because it's beautiful!

Just kidding. That is my jealousy flaring up. subzero in SD this week. I will ride if it is 45, sunny, and the roads are safe.

I'll look for those movies.

Thankfully last night should be the last of the -30 C for this winter. Saturday we hit 0 C. Spring is coming, thankfully. Maybe in 8 weeks or less the first ride of 2020!

I grew up with Easy Rider (and a young Jack Nicholson). And, as many have already mentioned, 'On Any Sunday' is a classic that I think anyone could enjoy. I am surprised no one has re-made it.

Harley and the Davidson's I highly recommend. Should be mandatory for anyone here.

I'm a big fan of On Any Sunday too. Saw it when I was a kid. When I saw Why We Ride my first thought was that someone remade On Any Sunday.

Thanks to Hecklerboy.

I watched it last night with the gal pal. She thought it was good as did I.

She did wanna know why I wasn't teared up at the end. I said why?

Now I am labeled an "emotionless clod". Oh well, the flick was cool.
