��I think it may have begun in the fifties. ��At the impressionable age of 6 a friend of my fathers pulled up on an old Harley. ��It was beat up, in sad shape, no paint, but purred like a Tiger! ��I can still remember his face beaming as he caressed the throttle and made that Tiger roar! ��I sat on the porch for quite awhile after he left remembering that sound.

��At the age of 16 I met the Flat track racer sponsored by Harley-Davidson of Ventura, California. ��He was the incomperable Duane Keeter. ��Well this gave me opportunities to ride around the block on his sporster. ��However most of the time was spent on his brothers Suzuki 55. ��Needless to say, it was great fun!

��Years passed and I rode a couple machines. ��A Yamaha 100, a Honda CB200 what I could afford to own you understand. ��Besides I had no need for a bigger bike. ��I rode around town and mainly to work. ��I still feel as I did then, if you ride any two wheeler you belong!

��In 1997 the Lord blessed me with my hog. ��I now know what the expression "If I have to explain...You wouldn't understand" means. ��I have never experienced a ride like this. ��Since May 97 I have put over *50,000 miles on my scoot and every one was shear joy! ��I gave my car to my son and now ride the 55 mile commute to work on the hog. ��Rain, fog, sunshine, cold doesn't matter as long as I can ride it I will...

*I turned 50K passing a semi on a two lane road doing 85.... Safely of course!

*100K and still going strong. Bike needs some spit and polish. But I bought it to ride, not wash! Besides, it gets washed in the rainy season. Hehe

*110K Sad to say the scoot is down in my garage. It sprung an oil leak! You might say "So what, it's a Harley" but it just aint so. The new Harleys don't leak oil like the old ones. While it's down I'm adding a few things I feel it need like an Air Horn, more lights, and new LED Turn signals. All for safety you understand.

��Well that's about it, Keep the rubber side down, see you on the road!����

Your humble hobbit,
