Thumbs up I want to do this....!

I have always said I wanted to ride through every state on my RK when I retire. I know other peole have already done this, but I haven't. Just a dream of mine.

I just read an article through that last issue of H.O.G. It talks about a man who turned 50 and decided to ride his HOG through 50 states. Great story; I felt like I was there beside him. Maybe because he has done what I have only dreamed about. I have rode to the mountains of NC and surrounding areas, but I still want more. I will one day, that I have promised myself. I though the last paragraph of the story deserved to be quoted.

"This is a magnificent county, and Harley-Davidson makes a magnificent machine. Whether you're riding across the city, state, or country, pick someplace you haven't been before and get out there. You'll never regret it-or forget it."

I thought it was good.

Hell I would be content with just the ability to retire! But the way thing are looking, it is in the crapper already.

Don't just think about it. Sit on your RK, and go wherever the road may take you. Ride hard and safe. You'll have a whole lot of stories to tell.

He flew over there and rented one for that leg of the trip.
