Road trips - man that is freedom, being gone for a week or two (or more if you're lucky). Riding with buddies, or even alone on a road trip just sets you free. Also, I think there is something about having control of a powerful machine. Kinda like a cowboy and his horse back in the old west. Okay, I'm startin' to slobber.

I ride because no matter how much I'd rather be ****ing some nice tight ***** but you can't **** all the time and because you can't **** all the time , the only other thing to do is ride. One way or the other it's still riding something and you know what is that all that really matters right ?? I ride because I'm a man and men love sex and men like to do manly things, and getting on a Harley Davidson motorcycle is the second most manly thing you can do except for........ well we already covered that! So I guess that's why I ride.
