If You Ride You Understand

Here is a photo of my last one. She is deceased now, had 65,000 miles and was still strong. Have a Road Star in mind this fall. Thanks go to my son for posing on her. And that picture was from the Tn. side of the mountain of Hwy 129. Been making that trek 3 times a year for the last 8 years, except this year. Thats ok, I will be back there next year.

If ya get an itch, come on up to Nicholasville and you can ride the Triumph. Just an 800 but it has some good power.
 
Mike, I always have the itch..lol, but you know how it goes. Here is a little something for all of you that have heard of Hwy 129 (the Dragon), but have never saw it or rode it. This is about 10 minutes of it with me driving and my passenger videoing and holding on. This was on my V Star. Hope you enjoy, and can appreciate the beauty of the road, the sounds, the scenery....and my pipes. :D

All of us ride Harley Davidsons. Aaron has a 92 FXR custom built into a Night Train, didnt make them then. Matt has a 2005 Road King, Johnny has a 2007 Road King, I have a 98 fatboy custom and a 95 Road King. I just had my Road King repainted Aqua/Black. No pics yet. Aaron has it at the shop putting new Rhinehart tru-dual exhaust on it. I get it back this week end. Here are a couple pics when we were at Port Aransas memorial week. Johnny and Matt road down to spend the weekend with us.

Alot of people dont have respect for motorcycle drivers but there are a few bad apples that weave in and out of traffic that screw it up for the responsible riders...

I have been on a motorcycle once and it was awesome.


Here is how we have our fun!

This is down at Pueblo State Park in Pueblo, Colorado. 2 1996 Yamaha Jet Skis, 2 1998 Bombardiers, 2 2002 Sea Doo's and a 2002 Yamaha Twin Engine Jet Boat.

My Ride

Finally got it back. It started as a 2000 Road King Police Cruiser. Black and White blah blah blah. Very dull. But wait, I thought a new paint scheme would do it right. Turquoise is one of my favorite colors so I began searching paint books. 92 - 96 Ford Aqua. Well I did some wheeling and dealing with a friend and got him to paint it. Everything that was originally white became aqua plus we added a few panels. Did another trade for some Rhinehart true duals exhaust. Got it pinstriped. My birthday falls near to fathers day. So my sons got me some wide white wall tires. Good boys! I think it all came together well.
