Reasons to Ride
We ride for many different reasons. Some for transportation, some to look cool, others just to get out of the house, others to belong to a club, and most like myself, to enjoy the great outdoors, fresh air (except when passing a cattle barn), but these fellows to remember and dream. Touching thoughts. Enjoy.
A bunch of old guys gettin' on with life. Actually a Taiwan bank commercial, but very touching:

Old Biker, Young Biker, and Chili
A duded-up city rider walks into a seedy tavern in Sturgis, SD. He sits at the bar and notices a grizzled old biker with his arms folded, staring blankly at a full bowl of chili.
After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the newby rider bravely asks the old biker, 'If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?'
The old veteran of a thousand rides slowly turns his head toward the young pup and says, 'Nah, you go ahead.'
Eagerly, the guy wearing the shiny new leather fashions reaches over and slides the bowl into his place and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom of the bowl and notices a dead mouse in the chilli.
The sight was very shocking and he immediately barfed up the chili back into the bowl. The old biker quietly says, 'Yep, that's as far as I got, too.'

BARB'S TOP 10 LIST
It has been about ten years since Bruce bought a Harley, and we began riding seriously. Although Bruce has had motorcycles since he was about fourteen, our 1997 Heritage Springer was the first Harley-Davidson he owned in a long time. In the last ten years, and four Harleys later, we have met many great people and have seen things we never thought we would see (The top of Mount Washington, Yellowstone National Park, charging buffalo). This is my top ten list of things I have learned in ten years on the road.
1. Dress warmer that you think is necessary.
2. Always carry rain gear, even if you are leaving on a clear and sunny day.
3. Never pass up a chance to go to the restroom.
4. Never eat at a place called Grandma’s.
5. Buzzards can fly 35 miles an hour.
6. Hail hurts.
7. How silly you look when you drop your bike is in direct proportion to how many people are looking,,,,, (downtown Sturgis.)
8. There is a lot more stuff inside a bug than you would think.
9. Pass trucks carrying livestock as quickly as possible. (That wasn’t rain on the windshield.)
10. Buffalo are wild and dangerous animals. Do not approach.
