 ABOUT ME.AT AGE 50 I,VE BEEN AROUND AWHILE.STARTED RIDING AT 5. MY DAD WOULD PUT ME ON THE GAS TANKS OF HIS ELECTRA GLIDE AND LET ME STEAR.OR I THOUGH I WAS!

WRECHED MY FRIST HARLY AT AGE 12. WHEN I TOOK THE GLIDE DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND PROMPLE FELL OVER.GOT MY ASS KICKED GOOD FOR THAT ONE!

MY FRIST REAL BIKE WAS A 1957 PAN BASKET CASE. MY OLDER BROTHER BOUGHT IT FOR ME AS A PRESENT FOR MY 16 TH BIRTHDAY.IT WAS HIS WAY OF REWARDING ME FOR TAKING CARE OF HIM AFTER A LEFT HANDER TOOK HIM DOWN IN 69. DESTROYED HIS RIGHT LEG.

I WENT DOWN HARD IN 89. BROKE MY BACK AND BOTH LEGS.SHIT HAPPENS WHEN A 20 TON TRUCK RUNS OVER YOU!

SO WHAT I,M SAYING IS. BEEN THERE DONE THAT AND GOT BACK UP FOR MORE. US GUYS WHO BEEN THERE NEED TO TEACH OUTHERS. NOT RIDACUAL THEM.SO WHAT THEY GOT MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS.WE ALL STARTED SOMEWHERE.CUT THEM SOME SLACK . OH BUY THE WAY I LOOKING FOR A OLD PAN MOTOR AND FRAME.WITH PAPER.

NEVER SHOULD OF GOT RID OF THE OLD GIRL.SHE WAS A GOOD ONE.SOFT ASS PLEASE.THE BACKS NOT WHAT IT ONCE WAS.    DEZ 

 

been hearing a lot of comments as of late about what is a biker, some are comical , some are just plain stupid, and some would piss off the pope so i thought i would add my 2 cents worth.

now ive been riding for some 50 yrs , my choice of bike is harleybut thats not to say that , that is all there is years ago we (harley riders ) used to call bkes like yamaha, honda and most all jap bikes junk . well that was then this is now and they have evolved , there making some damn nice bikes .

and the biker well the same apllys they have evolved , now i no the new breed of biker can be a pain in the ass but all of needs to remember that we all had to learn. and most of the bad habbits such as the way they ride came from none other then harley and there insurance company and the new guys and gals just dont no any better and all they have to go buy is harley cause nobody takes the time to talk to them.

well we all of us old timers need to cut them some slack , we all have one thing in common, we ride bikes and we ride because we like it and we all had to learn.

personally i dont have a problem with most cause i never joined clubs or ganges i figure i can get in enough trouble on my own, bout the only thing i take issue with is the way they were tAUGHT TO RIDE ,stagered formation what kind of crap is that, if i have to keep looking for you i cant ride with you, but that is what they are taught by none other then harleyin all there infinate wisdom o and dont forget the insurance companys  and they now a lot about right , yesh most have never even sat on a bike .

cut them some slack and take the time to teACH THEM THE RIGHT WAY. and to those that dont agree, when is the last time youve seen a pro team of riders riding staggered formation, it is dangerous and it will get you hurt.

all of you ride safe and and have a great ride . and if i can help anyone along the way drop me a line i always have the time .---jim (saddletramp@cfl.rr.com)
