WHY MOTORCYCLISTS CAN'T AFFORD TO JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE RIDE?

Many different things draw people to motorcycling. For some, it’s the sense of freedom.

RIDE YOUR OWN RIDE

Well, October is upon us and thank goodness for that. It means 2020 is going to come to an end soon. Not soon enough if you ask me. Along with October comes Halloween and maybe Biketoberfest. Love Halloween. This year everyone has a costume. Just don’t wear a mask. Bad joke I know, but it seems appropriate.

Your GPS May be Spying on You

Beware. Your GPS may be collecting evidence against you. More and more motorcyclists today are using GPS (Global Positioning Systems) to plan trips, get directions and keep track of miles traveled. However, keep in mind that if you are in a motorcycle accident, you may be collecting evidence that could be used against you in both a criminal and civil trial.

It’s important to remember to take a moment before a ride to make sure you have considered the anticipated challenges that can pop up. You want to call on that planning time as a way to prepare for the ride itself. Just like taking a moment to get out of bed in the morning, so should a moment be taken prior to any ride. That way you can make sure that both you and the bike are ready for an adventure. That will help you ride with confidence and excitement.

When it comes to riding and getting the wind in your hair, there are a number of emotions and thoughts that can get into one’s mind. When times get hard, one of my favorite responses is to fire up the bike and just get away, by myself, on a back road. It is in these times that I can often just chill out and put the challenges of the day on a back burner.

Thunder Tower H-D West: We're more than a Friendly Face—we're Family

Gene and Betty Preston, Thunder Tower West H-D owners, have brought their winning formula for exceptional customer experience to the Atlanta market.

Nefarious James “Second Amendment”

I believe the past month has been hard on a lot of people. It’s not a normal occurrence that the bikers out there are told to stay home and put up their motorcycles in hopes of fending off an unseen attacker. Normally when we are attacked, we respond back with the closest version of what’s described under our second amendment and be done with the issue. This, however, is a whole new type of deviant. I don’t want this article to be about this virus. I’ve decided to make it about something a lot of people won’t talk about.

What is Going on Here?

Government takeover? It looks like it to me. They shut down our economy, then left town. Went home. No more congress in Washington. No more leadership.

Why Motorcyclists Can't Afford to Just Sit Back and Enjoy the Ride

Many different things draw people to motorcycling. For some, it’s the sense of freedom. For others, it’s a source of relaxation, even exhilaration. If you’re like me, it’s to some degree all of the above. That said, it’s the ride we crave regardless of what each of us gets from it.

MARLON BRANDO: THE WILD ONE

The entire review could be summed up in a sentence: “This film created an image and a lifestyle that yet endures.” Yes, the image of a young Brando sitting on his Triumph motorcycle, dressed in a black leather jacket, tilted cap and a stolen trophy attached at the headlamp, is certainly one that literally everyone has seen at least once. Some of you still live that image today!

Craven Moorehead: MAY I SEND YOU A MESSAGE?

With all the recent activity in my life, it becomes unusually difficult for me to enjoy just hanging out or being my usual rotten self. I have been constantly reminded of my degenerate lifestyle and lack of reasonable income, plus the fact that no matter what I do, some kind of crap comes up that prevents my happiness and success. Well, not really. I mean, it could be worse - much worse.
