Riding alone=adventure. Being one with your bike. Clears the head, soothes the soul. I love just taking it all in. I don't find any roads boring. The hum of the bike, the wind on your face, the challenge of rain and weather, meeting folks while gasing up, viewing an awesome FREE America. Our country has so much to offer in beauty. I've realized I take a lot for granted. Did I mention the hum of the bike ?? Better than any ipod out there.
