Well I ride because it's relaxing, and impossibilities I had as a boy on my stingray bike, are very possible on my Harley..

Remember the balloons in the spokes, Cards in the spokes...?? The balloons sounded real, I even cut out spokes to get the potato potato sound...

Ahhh Youth... it's a rollercoaster of dreams...

Riding my bike is therapy for me. I am alone with my thoughts and it relaxes me.

turtleman,

Change your' "why ride" to I ride", and your "?" to "!". That pretty well sums it up.

There is NOTHING (including sex) that clears the mind & is more relaxing than long distance rides,

WOMEN!!!!!! Harley's are babe MAGNETS!!!!!!!! I always take any extra helmet because I know before the day is out, I'll have a babe on the back.........

Most women will be bold and ask "can i get a ride"?? Then I'll reply, "yes you can, and once we finish, maybe we could go out on the Harley"????

Mostwomen think that's funny, but other ones, it goes right over there head until a few days later...
