HARDCORE has whiteline fever even when he can't see the white line because he is riding through Michigan in January and there is 20" of snow on the road and he has a fever from catching pneumonia from riding in weather that has -33 degree wind chills.

I don't carry a cell phone because I fear breaking down and need someone to come and save me if I do. I carry it because, for me, it is a 21st century necessity to be able to communicate with the world at the drop of a hat.

Hard Core rides to get away from all the crap. 20th century is good enough for him!

I met Hard Core at Sturgis last summer. He was riding a kick only bike, but he didn't kick it, he just glared at it. The bike started itself out of sheer respect.

Hard core rides his own ride and doesn't write about it online.
