Neil Young
He's a Softail rider, an original hippie and my favorite artist.
And after talking motorcycles, I'd love to saddle up & follow him around northern california for a few hours.

Some of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met and talked with,,,, are not the one who owned the company or business, but the ones who made the parts and made them do what the dreamers dreamed...are the real hero's to me...
In other words it the people who get their hands dirty....that makes the dreamers their money.
