I'm a simple man without any complicated requests...

I'd like to ride the Tail of the Dragon someday.

I'd also like to try the Iron Butt (1,000 miles in a day).

There is a book out called "the old man and the Harley"- you should read it if you get a chance. It is pretty good. A little corny in parts put it is still good.


As for me. I want to ride to Calif and back. Hope I can retire young enough to do it.

I live in the UK, my dream is to spend 3 months touring the States when I retire. The other dream I always had was to ride over the Khyber pass. I first dreamt that up when I was a teenager but first the Russians, then the Taliban got in the way so I guess that ain't gonna happen in my life time. Maybe a long ride to Sicily down one side of Italy and up the other.

First to see my wifey graduate up to a Harley as soon as her skills improve to that stage.
Second to see my son and daughter riding their own Harleys.
Third would be for the wife and I to jump on our bikes and just start in a direction and ride that way til we get bored with it. Stop spin the wheel and head off in another direction following that pattern til we cant take it anymore.
Riding just to ride with no real destination, just enjoying each day with no expectations.

Still needing those 6 special numbers as well!!
