This blog is where I talk about my personal experiences riding motorcycles, being in riding clubs, hanging around biker bars, rallies, and taking long rides through the countryside.
You might even find some explanations about life, and why we exist on this planet.
I don't know if riding motorcycles can bring you closer to the answer or not, but it does give me lots of time to think.
About Me
I live in the south west region of Riverside County, CA, more closer to San Diego than Los Angeles. This is the best place to be a motorcycle rider, because all the best riding is minutes away, in any direction. Some of the best biker hangouts are here too, and this area is just crawling with bikers.
My other motorcycle blog, Biker News Online, is now just for news. I used to opine on that blog from time to time, but now I just want to keep that one for news.
But if you care to read what I really think about stuff, and what I do with my riding time, read this one.

I just want to ride. A couple of my close buddies are in the process of starting a club and we came up with a one piece patch design. Within weeks we were questioned where we are from, the name of the club , how many members etc. The last question was " who gave us permission to come to ......? " And the funniest part of it was they were in their 20s and did not ride their bikes. We decided that riding is about freedom and by having the patch and being in a club makes it more complicated. I think mc clubs are great but I like to ride my bike around the country, not tell people where they can go and what they can wear.
can anyone comment please

I was watching some online motorcycle videos a few months ago and one of them went into an interview mode where they asked a bunch of bikers "What makes a biker a REAL biker". All of them, 20 somethings to 70 year olds, were trying to define "biker" and they all made fools of themselves. At what point in time did being a biker come to mean "be just like me"???? Each and every one of them thought that a "REAL" biker had to ride a certain type of bike, wear certain types of clothes, ride a certain number of miles each day, do this, drink that, and all kinds of unbelievably sophomoric attitudes that drove the rest of us freedom loving folks to biking in the first place. Oh, by the way.. in answer to your "permission" seekers - "Mr. Smith, Mr. Wesson, and the U.S. Constitution"
