Default keep it simple

I hear alot people ask me why I ride to work, home, everywhere. I like to keep it simple. My work takes a toll on me not just on my body but my mind. That Ride to to and from work ( no matter what the weather) helps me deal with people. I have been married for a long time and my wife has learned to love my country music, my coyboy hat, boots, and my steel horse. Even if I can't ride for a few days because of whatever, she notices a change in my mood. How understanding a woman is when she tells you to go ride or even better when she says let's go together and drink a few beers my mother will watch the kids. We don't have to spend alot of money, we just have to get on my bike and ride. Spend some time together. We drink a few beers have a good time and maybe get a room for a night and rediscover why we got married in the first place. Man I love that woman!!! Live life on two wheels there is no life like it. Just keep is simple.

I'm with you there. Nothing like winding up for work on the way in and winding down on the way out.
