i'm 32, been riding since i was 18, once upon a time i tried the 1%er lifestyle, and fashion statement. i still have the '72 ironhead chopper. (now that is a cop magnet with attitude even though it is held together with duct tape) but idon't ride it. in fact i have removed all brand logos. the only HD is in the id #'s

then i realized that riding is all that matters. i dont care how i look; i almost always wear a skull bucket; safety gear is good because i know that i will go down again and my daughter needs her daddy; i don't want a lot of bike, speed and power will get me killed because i often push me and my machine to the limits and beyond; whenever i scrape up enough cash to buy a car, i dont - i get another bike; riding in a group is ok, but takes away the freedom of the moment; the chicks want to ride the back of anything (if i'm driving) but don't last. i could go on.

fact is, i don't give a shit about what anybody else thinks. i ride a 2003 bmw f650gs because fate sent me exactly what i needed when i wrecked the one before that. i ride in all weather, temperatures, conditions, etc. it is more than in my blood. it is my religeon.

If there is a group devoted to those of us devoted to our motorcycles, then i haven't found it but i am looking. if there is a set with a bike in it let me know. even if she is the ugliest SG, she's fine by me. i am new to SG, but i would rather be here talking about bikes sometimes, than on a "biker" site talking about SG's.

wow i started this as a comment on the geezers board but i think i will copy it to my journal too.

i'll holler atcha later
