99 XLC (Sporty),99 FLSTC (Heritage Classic),99 FLSTS (Heritage Springer)and 01 FLSTS.Time for a new one..I'm thinking Ultra Glide

ok so I started out on a 81 Honda 450

I saw you hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
But, you didn't see me put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.
I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.
But, you didn't see me playing Santa at the local mall.
I saw you change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.
But, you didn't see me riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.
I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your children.
But, you didn't see me when I took time off from work to run toys to the Salvation Army.
I saw you stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.
I saw you roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
But, you didn't see me and my brothers, donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.
I saw you look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me cry as my children were born and have their names written over and in my heart.
I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me going home to be with my family.
I saw you complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
I saw you yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn't see me pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.
I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.
But, you didn't see me squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.
I saw you race down the road in the rain.
But, you didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.
I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
But, you didn't see me trying to turn right.
I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
But, you didn't see me leave the road.
I saw you waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.
I saw you go home to your family.
But, you didn't see me.
Because, I died that day you cut me off.
I was Just a Biker......
A person with friends and a family!

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 8 1/2 years.Four years ago I started taking pictures or 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 Canyons, 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 this year I made the balance of the lower 48 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.

Movies with plenty of women in them. The more women with the less clothing the better. Gotta be honest about it.

Just about anything that I can understand the words to.

Riding, making friends, Photography, finding someone to get on the back of the bike.
