Take The Time To Read It... You May Be Surprised I'm Almost As Human As You Are

Once upon a time....In a land not so far away.... Yea it was just like a fantasy the day I picked up my first harley. Every day since then has been at the least more tollerable. I've wanted a harley as long as I can remember. I loved the way they looked and more of the way they sounded. I was 37 before I ever got my harley. To give a little insight as to who I am, I am an avid rider but not as hard core as some. I have logged over 140,000 miles in the last 10 years. A few years ago I started taking pictures of myself with the bike in front of all the state signs. So far I have 48 of 50 states covered. I have gone places and see things I would have never imagined. I took a ride heading to Alaska one May but got turned back at the border because I didn't have my birth certificate to prove citizenship. I didn't let that ruin my trip. I took the rest of my time and made every state west of the Mississippi River except La. I rode through 22 states in 17 days logging over 7600 miles. When I started my ride I was 41 years old and had never seen a snowcapped mountain in person. Eleven days into my trip I was riding through Big Horn and Big Sky between 6 and 8 foot walls of snow at 70 mph in a short sleeve shirt on a Harley. It was one of the best days of my life. I saw The Petrafied Forest, The Painted Desert, The Mesa's, Devils Tower, Mt Rushmore, Mt. St. Helen, Mt. Rainier, The Seattle Space Neddle,Yellowstone, The Giant Redwoods, Big Horn and Big Sky, The Badlands, Sturgis, and many more places. I saw buffalo roaming free outside of Yellowstone Park, streams as clear as your drinking water. Things that I normally just don't see around here. I met people along the way that took interest in my travels and I still get email from them on occasions asking where have I been lately. Well I finally made the balance of the lower 48 the next year finishing up when I crossed over the bridge into Maine. It was a feeling like no other to know that I had made all lower 48 states in 14 months. Finishing up that part of the ride let me know that there are just 2 more states to make. I'll ride my bike all the way to LA and put it on a plane and ship it to Hawaii. Yea Yea... I'd drive if there was a bridge long enough to get over there but noone has taken care of that yet. As for Alaska. I plan on that someday. I really hope weather and money holds out for me. I get a kick out of riding and I know there are tons of people that get a good feeling deep inside to see that great big American flag on the back of my bike flapping in the wind as I roll down the road. I've literally had people almost run over me trying to get my attention or take a picture. I don't mine, it makes me realize that I'm doing what a lot of others would if they had the time, money and the bike. I take a lot of pride in riding with that flag on my bike. So far I guess I've worn out about 20-22of them in the 6 years I've been flying them on the bike. If I had just one dollar everytime someone took a picture... I wouldn't ever have a problem being able to replace them.
Last year on my ride I left out without really knowing what to expect. This year I had huge expectations. I had some people offer me a place to stay while I'm on the road which helped on the cost of the trip. I had 3 weeks off work to go as far as I can, see as much as I can and meet as many as I can.I had a chance to hang out with SportsterHD and ride to Rolling Thunder with him and some of his friends. Out of all the rides I've participated in that had to be the one I'll never forget. To see 1/2 million bikes converge on Washington D.C in some of the worst rain I've ever been through for 12 straight days, NOT ONE BIKE during the ride to the wall was on a trailer. Man that gave me chills then and still does to this day that NOONE was a weenie, well noone trailered to D.C and then rode in the parade that I saw. I've been to alot of state rallys and national rally's that there are about as many trailers as there are bikes. It was great to see the support for all the men and women that paid their dues over there. I take my hat off to everyone that supports that ride every year. If you want to see what TRUE bikers are about make that "Run To The Wall" on Memorial Day Weekend and see what ROLLING THUNDER sounds like when 500,000 bikers show up Big And Proud And Loud. Thanks Sporty for letting me be a part of that with you and your friends. (P.S. the little blonde you put on the back wasn't too bad of an extra surprise either) I have found out over the last year I am envied by more than just a few people for what I am doing or have done so far. The only thing I can say is try to find your own way to do what I am doing. I feel like I've paid my dues to get where I am in life now. I waited a long time and did without many things to be able to do this. If you would like to be added to the email list of people I send pics to and updates along the way then please feel free to IM me or drop me an email and simply ask to be included on the next trip venture.
I do this for me and for anyone else out there that wishes they could have the chance in life to see this wonderful country on a Harley. It is truely an unbelieveable place to ride. I've seen things that I only remember reading about in books. When you stand at the Petrafied Forest and the Painted Canyons and look across at miles and miles of beauty then you just feel completely humbled at this great wonderful planet we live on. I'm not the most religious person out there but one thing I know.... There is no way..... NO WAY two big ass rocks collided in outerspace and made this happen. People if you get a chance, please put some of the less important things in life aside and get out to see what is out there. I know everyone seems to be bored with their own little part of the world but for the rest of us riding through we are amazed at what you look at everyday and take for granted. Please tell me what is too good to pass up in your area. If you want to play tour guide for a day I would be more than glad to have you on the back of the bike showing me some nice places to go. It's your back yard. You know it much better than anyone else. Brag about what makes you smile everytime you see it. Tell me where it is even if it's a small Mom and Pop Restaurant. Look at my pics, you can tell I'm an eatter. Hook me up with some good places to stop along the way. I had a friend of mine tell me, he's Never Heard Anyone On Their Death Bed Saying They Wish They Had Worked Harder Or Longer, But Many Had Wished They Had Taken More Time To Enjoy This Wonderful World We Live In. Don't make that mistake and work too hard and miss out on life. Live it every chance you get. Alone or with someone, it doesn't matter. Just make sure you get out there and do it. You only live once, don't lie in bed and wish your life away. Get out there and Live It NOW.
Thanks for your time reading this. I hope you take the time to reply and maybe one day we can meet for a bite to eat or ride a few miles side by side.
