I know someone who was drinking with her boy friend, ran a stop sign, hit a biker and left him their and he died. It was years ago. I was told she was driving not to long ago, but she let her boy friend take the blame. He left town. Got away with it as far as i know.

I Ride

I ride.

Staccato of raindrops

Tattooing my face in transparent ink,

Stinging,

Yet I ride.

One Hour in, soaked through,

Wind chill...

Knee's barely move,

Shifting becomes hard,

Yet, I can't bring myself to stop.

Two hours in, roll to my destination,

Rain not mattering

My brothers and…

I find I am always thinking "trauma" type crisis when I am riding my bike. We have came up on car accidents where I have assisted until the ambulance arrived and face it, a motorcycle wreck is the one thing we all fear. Somehow I just never planned for anything else. I carry gloves and a few minor supplies on my bike and in the glovebox of my truck.

This past weekend the hubby and I rode our bikes to New Braunfels, TX where we were met up by my brother and his GF who rode down from…

Well we had a great father, son adventure tonight. My son and I decided to ride the Harley to the Stockyards, spend some time at the HOG Rally and then eat at Risky's BBQ. Well before we could eat we noticed it was getting DARK and cloudy and had a few raindrops hit our heads.



We decided we needed to head home and get our dogs in. They are scared of thunder, lightening, and hard rain.



Just as we were leaving we saw a huge double rainbow in the eastern sky. Just…

Just read the Taser Story... Wanted to share mine!

OH YEAH! Done that, but it weren't quite like that!

I bought a taser for ME! And yes, it DID have a spark between the prongs... A nazty sizzly sound that was instantly mesmerizing and called to me "Edge... you want meeeee...." Being the sik individual that I am (I was an electrician) I just HAD to test it out! Since I had read the above article (years ago) I knew that if I did it myself... I would not be able to "Let Go" with a…

Seven-thirty, on a Saturday morning, when the rest of the world was wondering what they will do with their leisure time, I’m racing to Ft Lauderdale’s famous Elbo Room to ride with the fire guys and cops. The beach is so beautiful that nobody needed to go anywhere else, but we do have a full calendar here in South Florida. Jager Mike and Dee Dee invited everyone back to Big Dawg’s for a party with Richie Supa, and the Sheriff’s department escorted us through town, insuring us a safe ride,…

I bought a 99 cbr f4i this was my first bike. I tought myself with tips from other riders. The first day on the street i dumpped it following to close and to much throttle and opening my clutch to soon in a turn. I was ok but a lesson learned quick about turning. I have a good bike now but it wasnt so good when i bought it. It had a bad engine which i should of rode it first. But looking at the ppl i took them as good ppl but to my suprise they werent. After 4000.00 dollars and a bad bike…

  This was many years ago.  I was a young man, at the ripe age of thirteen, a whole 4 foot tall and 65 pounds.  I was finally able to get two wheels, it was my first bike.  A artic cat ma50.  I road that thing all the time,  anyway one day I was at 4corners and heard about a party, so I camped out that night like all nights during the summer.  waited until dark and headed out to find this party not knowing what I was getting into.  After 5 or 6 miles I had made it, yes my first party.  There…

My uncle was a hard core biker my whole life. I do not have a memory of him with out his bike. 

I stopped riding about 15 years ago.

The begining of 2011 my uncle had came to see me. We told him that we would like to get a "Victory".  His reply to that was "I would never own one of them f***en things."  Later that night my uncle told us that by the summer of 2012 we will be riding again. :)

In August of 2011 we lost my uncle.

All of his family and friends got…

Thought I might be getting a little to old for my motorcycle. But after reading the article on the 82 year old lady rider, I think I might have a few more good years left.

Three weeks ago my hubby, I and a group of friends went to Bandera, TX for the Rumble in the Hills rally. It was very fun. The best part of course was the riding. We rode the Twisted sisters two days in a row. The first day we rode pretty much all of seven hours. I was exhausted. Not quite used to such hard sharp curves, but my experience level is growing. It was really great hanging out with our friends at the Motorhome and watching people act silly.

This weekend is Beach and Biker…

On September 19,2010 I was hit head on by a drunk driver in a pick up truck we were both doing about 50mph when he decided to take a left turn without slowing down we were so close there was not enough time to do much but to try and lay my bike down but he was to close. He ran me over breaking my right leg including my foot ankle, phema, thibula and both pelvis, also crushing mt L1-L5 and T11-T12, damaging my neck and breaking every rib, and fracturing the left side of my skull creating some…

My husband owned a Honda motorcycle when he was 16 and loved it. At the age of 60, he bought a 300 cc Sym Citycom scooter and started to ride again. He wanted me to join him. I was 54 years old and had never ridden before.

One evening, a couple of weeks after he bought the scooter in April (his 60th birthday present from me), we went out to a school parking lot so that I could take my maiden ride on the scooter. He rode the scooter there and I followed in the car. We positioned the…

    Just moved up from my Road King to a Ultra Limited, and I like it, after 30 years on a Harley now It's time for the " Geezer Glide "

Okay.  Here it is.  The story of the one time I dropped my bike.

It was a balmy evening about 9:30 p.m. and I was on my way home from Hooters after watching the first Monday night football game of the season....the Vikings were playing so I had to watch.  After a great game and a good filling of their hot wings and twisted onion rings I headed home taking the scenic route through town to one of the main avenues that takes me right past where I live.  I had just turned onto this main…
