Default 2021 - Killer Year

2021 was a killer year. I logged










153,683 miles, with 100,000 miles in 100 days. Won several contest and challenges and got to see and experience more things than most people will in a lifetime.

Started off a bit rocky, but glad I got to share with everyone here and loved all the support along the way.

Hope everyone has a great 2022 and gets more miles than this year.

the goal is to die with more memories than dreams, and I’m chasing it everyday.

Stories, Adventures, Memories....

Haven’t heard back from them. They sent me a $750 gift card, so I’m assuming not. To be honest I felt like that was a little BS. They never cared for, supported, or even mentioned anything during the ride. But then they say here’s some money to buy more of our products. But whatever, it’s all good. I’ll keep riding the bike and being a promoter of HD.

This was one helluva year for you! You did things I didn't even know possible and you did it with a smile. Here's to hoping the new year brings more good fortune, for you and us all.

When I saw your post on the other thread about how many miles did you ride this year, I thought you were full of crap. Clearly I was wrong! Hats off to you Sir!! Quite an accomplishment.
