Default Well,after 50 years of riding........

I still get that warm fuzzy feeling every time I ride! I look like an old grouch on the outside but I'm smiling on the inside!
I've enjoyed riding all different makes but just never got the same feeling I get on a Harley!
I plan on riding until some older fart runs over me or I can't safely ride anymore!
Ride safe and enjoy every ride!

32 years so far for me and no sign of slowing down yet.
