Default Reporting in from Rhode Island

Hello -

Just doing a quick check in to introduce myself.

I'm from the crappy state of Rhode Island. Been riding a few years now, but only upgraded to a Harley on Memorial Day last year. Been riding a 2006 Street Bob since then. Best decision I've ever made. Once I'm not on an office computer, I'll upload pictures of it.

Anyways, name's Steve. I'm ALWAYS looking for people to ride with, so if you're in the area, please reach out to me. All my friends who have bikes are hobbyists. So I can never get them to ride. I'll ride in a blizzard or a hurricane, tho.

Think that's about it..

Why is Rhode Island crappy? I thought it was a beautiful state when my brother was in Oceanography school at URI. He took me out drinking for my first time when I was 16. Didn't think I was drunk until I got up to go to the bathroom, and walked crooked.
Welcome anyway. Ride safe.

Welcome anyway. Ride safe.
RI is a beautiful state to visit, and especially to ride through during Spring, Summer, and Autumn. But I'm at the point I'd rather be homeless than a homeowner in this state between the taxes, government, and self-righteous folks that live here.

Might be fine for some, but certainly not me. Been trying to move out for almost a year now. Soon....
