The perfect day for me would be about 75 degrees outside sun shining no clouds roads dry and
me somewhere on the coast on my motorcycle. I have been riding motorcycles for 45 years
all types of motorcycles. My favorate motorcycle is Harley Davidson , I have owned somwhere
around 16. Out of the 16 I built 7 of them from the frame up, including the engine and transmissions. Today I own a 2006 Dyna Wide Glide that has had the engine modifyed to
produce 93 horsepower to the rear tire. I also own a 1999 GSXR 1000 that has also had the engine modifyed to put out 118 horsepower to the rear tire. The Suzuki is my favorate one to ride in the mountins because it handles really well in the corners. The Harley is better on the open road because it is heavy and rides really soft. I have ridden across the United States 3 times as well as to Sturgis 18 times. I have been caught in the rain, snow, windstorms, sworms of grasshoppers, and flocks of birds. Out of all that the snow was the worst. Once you get cold
its hard to get warm even when you are in front of a fire.

Nice post Bill. Iv'e always been fascinated about how people can make a hobby into a way of life. Motorcyclists are a good example of this. Sturgis sounds fun too. I was never there, but I was in Daytona once for bike week. It was incredible!
