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.
Ta tell ya the truth I havent had that one Memorable yet,have had a lot of fun and not so fun rides on the Harley(s)in the last 31 yrs but just not the most memorable one yet,figure I got at least another 20 yrs of riding left....
PS.

I had to run with the choke out cause the bike got so cold it was tryin to shut off lol, I've never been so miserable in my life, hahahaha, I look back and think... damn retard maybe you shoulda got a car hahahaha. 3hrs of riding in the snow to get home GAAAAAAY! i was retarded! hahahaha
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.
