While visiting the Road Runner forum I happened upon a discussion about biker identity. I was pleasantly surprised to find out I’m not the only one to ponder this topic. On the other hand I was surprised at the amount of prejudice against Harley riding “bikers” by self proclaimed “motorcyclists”. Then I visited the HD Forum and found out HOG members like me are ridiculed by most “bikers”. They don’t consider us “real bikers”. Reminds me of the recent hit comedy Wild Hogs!
Do you suffer from a biker identity crisis? Do you consider yourself a biker? Maybe you consider yourself a motorcyclist. Maybe you don’t give it much thought at all. [Read more →]
My wife Diana has a very flirtatious picture of herself with the famous custom motorcycle builder Russell Mitchell of Exile Cycle. Last Saturday, February 8th, was payback! I went to the Timonium Motorcycle Show to get my picture taken with the hotter than hot Michele Smith, host of American Thunder. In this case, revenge was SWEEEEET! Of course I had to get permission first.
As a motorcyclist and a newlywed I find myself torn between two loves. I could hop on my bike (a cute little Sporty that is just my size) and zip around town. It gives me a sense of power and personal satisfaction being able to control this machine. Or I could hop on the back with my sexy bald guy, wrap my arms around him, and let him ride me off into the sunset. There is a sense of closeness (and of course romanticism) that comes with two bodies leaning into turns together and operating as if one with the bike. And so I am often left to wonder…is it better to ride bitch or to ride my own? That is my question.
Most women, I believe, start out riding as a passenger. It is an amazing experience. And if the person you are riding with is someone special, it can also be a bonding experience. Riding a bike is scary yet exhilarating. When you wrap your arms around that special guy, you are literally entrusting your life to his hands. Of course the scenery is always so much more dramatic when you are on a bike, and it is quite romantic to share that with someone else. Darlene (Middletown, DE) has been riding with her husband for many years. “It is OUR Hobby that we do together,” she says, “I don’t just go for a ride with him on the back of his bike, I am in the ride as a participating co-pilot.” Even though Darlene has her motorcycle license, she does not ride her own bike because “it would affect HIS ride, as he would now be concerned about me.” Steve (Belton, KY) shares: “My wife…doesn’t care anything about having her own bike…She enjoys riding pillion so she can take in the view, and we just enjoy being close while on the ride.”
Our own Harley riding brother blogger from the west coast, HLFX Dave, has given his stamp of approval to motorcycle cleaning products by S100. You can read Dave’s entire post, or just these quotes:
“S-100 products are by far the best I have run into.”
“I use this stuff underneath the bike and on the frame. It stops the rust and scaling.”
“The S-100 detailing spray is awesome. S-100 put out a starter kit with everything in it. It is the best love rub money I have ever spent and if I could only have one brand of cleaner, it would be this stuff.”
