I was born and raised on two-wheels, learned the hard way about everything and sometimes it hurt like hell. When riding a motorcycle, sometimes you don't see the ass-kicking coming!

    I never knew you had that many bikes! I bet you would love to have all that money now!

      Not a chance, each one of these bikes has a story to tell, a unique experience, riding in new places, meeting new friends. I wouldn’t trade that for the money back if I could!

      Thanks for the post, ride on…
