Anybody got some motorbike stories? I gotta get back on the road. My bike's been out of commission and I have been stalling on getting it fixed. I need a jolt that will get me excited again.

My wife and I and a couple of other club members rode to Corpus Christi, Tx. last Memorial Day weekend. We left at 2:00pm, ran into rain about 3:00pm, ran out of the rain 300 miles later just out of San Antonio, Tx. We went thru the downtown leg of I 35 about midnight, very little traffic on the road and all the skyscrapers lit up, it was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen.

Riding to Daytona on the Fatboy I rented in Orlando after flying into the airport there -- Early that morning I had been scraping ice off my windshield in Maryland, and at 1:00 I was out on the roads of central Florida, hair flying...first time riding without a helmet. Great bike! Had California plates (all the rented ones there did) A truck passed with a bunch of guys whistling cheering, etc. One of the guys yelled out "Hey! You ridin' to Daytona all the way from California???" I yelled back "You betchour sweetazz!!" as I pulled into the Broken Spoke Saloon. Tooo Funnny!!! Hey, how would they ever know?? Unless they read this and if so...Ha Ha fooled you!!!

Riding around in Charleston SC and looking at the ocean as you ride over the bridges, riding the blue ridge parkway, riding the Smokey mountains, riding the dragon, riding in the country alone just clearing my head, riding down the highway and seeing people checking out my bike, well i guess about any time i am on my Harley it is a favorite.
