Default 1000 and counting!

Ya'll, I'm so proud tonight! I came home from a boring @$$ day at work to find it was 70 degrees and absolutely gorgeous outside. So, I put on my brown fringe leathers, black boots, black gloves, black helmet - told the hubby "see ya later" and took off. As I was coming down my street to the house, it happened - I turned 1000 miles!!!!!! I just got my bike - first one of my life - on my 40th birthday in September, and am completely possessed by it! I am in South Carolina, so there really is not an "off season" for riding. I get on it any possible time I can and just go..... I will be a Harley rider till the day I die, and I can't wait till my first road trip! I am originally from WV (transplanted to SC) and am just dying to get my bike back home to hit the mountain roads. Well, I just felt like sharing my absolute and utter jubilation at breaking 1000 miles. I'll be sure to let you know when I hit 5000! Ride safe!

excellent, if you ever head up towards East TN let me know there are a ton of roads here to be explored.

BTW don't take this wrong but you're one of the sexiest 40 years old I've seen in a long time
