                      Why do we ride? A dog with its head out the window gets it...

                      Ride on, my friends!

                                          My wife bought me a tee-shirt with a picture of an "old" biker on it, that reads "Don't Be Jealous Because I Can Still Ride a Motorcycle in my 60's". I think that says it all.

                                                  Issues at work,knee problems and other things going on -the bike provides the best therapy for me. Getting out on the bike,seeing the surroundings, I plan on riding to an old job that I had several years ago as they have closed down.-that will be a Sunday therapy session.
