A motorcycle is a fabulous form of transportation for those that will try it. I rode a bike once and fell in love. My friend rode a motorcycle and swore to never get on one again. It isn’t for everyone, but a bike provides a sense of freedom and a connection to the ride that you just can’t get anywhere else. Two wheels are an amazing way to get around, and a motorcycle will add fun and adventure to every trip.
While a motorcycle isn’t usually suitable for the weekly grocery trip, and it’s tough to take your animals to the vet on one, they provide a freedom and fun that you can never experience in a car, not even a convertible. And they give you a connection with other riders, that you also can’t get in a car, no matter what kind.
There are a billion types of bikes to choose from, cruisers, crotch rockets, touring bikes, sport tourers, you name it.

Colossal thunderstorm I woke in the night to flashing lights and the distant growl of thunder. Laying awake in my tent, I enjoyed the show. It was distant, so it was nice to watch. It wasn’t long though, before the first drops of rain started to fall. Now was the time to worry. Was this
Casual start I was feeling more excited to get home, but definitely still wanted to savor the time and the trip, so I decided to take it easy today. My ride would be fairly straightforward, just on the U.S. 2 out of Michigan, across Wisconsin, and into Minnesota. I was headed to the campground my

Another new plan When it got to be 1930 and I still hadn’t heard that I could stay with my friend from work the next day, I started looking to see where else I could go to escape the bad weather. I initially thought I’d go to Niagara Falls, stay with my friend that didn’t
