I've had many of those "It don't get any better than this" rides in the last 30 years. Hope to have a few more in the future too. .................. Nothing better!

Best moment ever was when I was riding with my club at a local toy run. My bro has a 1993 sporty that is held together with duct tape (literally), has no mirrors, painted black with a rattle can, and has no starter. This is similar to all the bikes we ride, all thrashed to hell and ridden hard. We spent every stop doin what we always do...drinking and push starting his bike down the street. what made this special is that there was snow on the ground and we were slipping all over the place. Freakin awesome1!!

I really like the feeling I receive from my wife when we arrive SAFE in our beds after a long ride.

Had a few of those feelings this summer.
