Anyone Here Ride Harleys?!

[kraigwy]

I've had some sort of motorcycle since I was 14 years old, don't see any reason to stop now at 65. I ride a '95 Sporster 1200. I got involved with the Patriot Guard Riders, one of the best activities I've been involved in.

'99 Fatboy with loud pipes & wire wheels. Basic Black.

Don't ride as much as I used too, but I'll have this one or some other HD for as long as I can hold one up.

I ride a 1999 heritage springer I bought new in 1998. I sold my 2002 Ultra Classic last year because I wasn't riding it enough.

Been riding Harleys for 39 years. Damn osteo-arthritis in my neck has kept my hard riding slim. Still get out a bit on this 1340 97 FXDWG.

Screamin' Eagle

I ride a 2004 Screamin' Eagle Deuce. It was love at first sight. I swear it was calling my name when I entered the showroom!

Wife won't ride, claims she doesn't want to make the kids orphans. LOL

Posted pics my kids here many times. Had my first Harley before I had my first S&W. I've been riding in PA since '76 too. Haven't see you around.

My baby , my 1968 FLH,

My 93cu.in. 5-spd hot-rod 1950(?!?) Panhead chopper , built her all by myself!

My latest acquistion , a '97 FLHPi. Didn't look this good when I bought it on Ebay.

Ride to shoot , shoot to ride!

Ride a '07 H-D Sportster with 38,000 miles on it. Ride nearly every day with two friends and also active with the Patriot Guard, my main retirement commitment. It is a humbling privilege to honor those who have paid the ultimate price to preserve our freedom.

I keep trying to talk the mrs. into it but the answer is always no. She says "you get the harley and I get the house in the divorce". I don't think it's the fear of me dying in an accident....more the fear of having to take care of a veggie if I don't die.

After 37 years of being married to the same wonderful woman, she knows well where that would lead. If you want to ride, then ride and allow her to have half the house in a settlement!

I work in a level 1 trauma hospital and deal with alot of traumas on a daily basis. Yes, some of them are from motorcycle accidents and the the biggest majority of those are head injuries (helmeted and unhelmeted). But, most of the traumas are from falls, farming accidents, ATVs, and automobile accidents. Its made me realize that if we live our lives worried about what can happen, we may as well just lock ourselves in a room and never go out. Common sense, coupled with awareness of the road and those around you, lessen the odds of becoming a statistic. The simple truth is we can't allow "fear" to keep us from doing the things we love so much.

Here's to the open road, wind hitting your knuckles, and keeping the shiny side up !

Good luck with your new bike. Been riding since 1960's when I used to hot wire dad's Honda Trail 90 when he was at work. Used to put it thru hell, give it a power wash and put it back in garage before he came home. Then he noticed a small puddle under it one day and my brother and I were busted! I have had numerous bikes since then. Killed a dog and one bambi but not hurt either time. Presently ride '10 Ultra Limited with 103. Never parted with '02 Wing 1800 though. Ride safe...

Or all the young hotties wanting to go for a ride!

Well said! I mostly ride without a helmet now that we adults can in PA. Of course a bunch of busy-body know-it-alls are always chiming in with their two cents. (Usually the same type that say 'statistics prove I'm far more likely to get shot with my own guns'.) And my response is usually about all the people that get head trauma in automobile accidents and that THEY should wear one.

If I wanted absolute safety , I'd lock myself in a padded room.
