How-d Jkrijt!

first...oh YES.....I know all about Peter & Kay! I'm a big fan of their work!!

There are a growing number of folks who are building some very off-road capable Harleys, which is very cool...but frankly, I'm getting very 'tired' of the whole "Oooooo....you ride a Harley" thing!

(I pulled into a gas station/market the other day, and as I walked through the store a couple of bozo's came right up to me and said "NICE BIKE MAN!!!"...but I knew that there waz no way possible for them to have even seen my bike from where they were in the store...they could only hear it. Sooooo......just because it makes a Harley noise...it's a cool bike????? idiots!!! )

I've been building and riding Harley's since the late 70's, and I just don't relate to the guys that ride 'em anymore. Too many of them are all excited about their new Harley-Davidson brand underoos, and about trailering their bikes to Sturgis and strutting around in their ill-fitting chaps. (frikken sheep.)

My wife thinks that I make too much about all this, and I should quit worrying about what others say and think....but this crap is seriously EVERYWHERE!!!!! I simply can't stomach it anymore. I don't relate to these clowns, nor do I even want to.

Riding bikes is a very spiritual thing to me. I'm not doing it to please anyone but myself. and I definately don't do it to be 'impressive' or cool.
(kinda odd what I do for a living, huh?)

so.....I'm ready for a change.

and as I said earlier...I've got certain things my new bike will hafta be able to do...
...and still have off-road capabilities.

oh, and I kind of a big guy too, so we gotta keep that in mind, especially for the long miles.

Do you know of any other bikes that could fill those shoes??? I sure don't!


Thanx for your kind greetings. Time to go riding!!
