We rode 350 miles yesterday. Just to go to lunch in another state! It was pretty hot and humid so we drank a lot. Water of course.

So hard to grasp that now able to draw Social Security,and not even close to being ready mentally.Still enjoy getting up and going to work everyday.Love to be out on the Harley,every once in a while run across a biker that wants to test the power of his ride.Not overly excited about the way our politicians have abandoned us,and left us to fend for ourselves.Our only recourse is vote them out, too slow a process for my liking,but no other choice.So many of us are in the same boat.Hang in there all of you.

Just turned 67. I recently sold my 05 sportster XL1200C with 63,000 miles on it. I just returned from a trip from Northern CA to Main via Nashville and back (9300 miles) on my 08 Road glide which now has 40,000 miles on it.
