Default Most Memorable Ride

Hi everybody ! Just wondering what everyones more memorable ride was, Mine was in 2005 bad year wife left before I got home from iraq didnt get to see my new born, and with way to much baggage left over from my tour, ended up going on a ride from tennessee to florida just driftin, On the way back it was late and I was coming up on Ft. Payne Alabama and it was beautiful out perfect warmth, probably 11 at night, no one else on the road pitch black, I remember thinking about all this crap and I looked up and saw the stars and all the sudden everything was all good, running 70mph down the highway alone warm air my bike running good it was almost surreal, but ya that will always stay with me, when I go out on long rides Im always chasing that feeling, Its why I ride. Things fit together when im riding. To this day no matter how bad things are all I gotta do is hop on and just blast down the open road and I know I'll be alright. Some people say a bike is a status symbol, to show off, my bike is my lifeline god help anyone that screws with it! lol.

Hard to compete with that ride but I know the feeling, that’s what it’s about. Ride on brother.

Can't remember Seriously too many, sometimes a quick, fast blast when it seems like everything is in "Sync", or a long day in the saddle when everything goes right.
