I see it everyday when I pick my kids up from school. Ppl in a fkn school zone with their cars moving, looking down at their phones. I just hope/pray my kids never get hit by one of these idiots. Im going to prison if it ever does.


It reminds me of the brain dead old folks you see at the airport slot machines.

If it wasn't for my job I think I'd just get rid of a phone altogether, move to the Gila Forest and live in an airstream trailer.

That's awesome. Durango CO is probably the coolest place I've ridden to. Went there one July when it was 105 in Texas and up there it was perfect. Rode the million dollar highway and out into Utah and northern Arizona.


July/August we road out to CO, spent a week riding around then headed to Yellowstone and stayed 10 days in the area. Left there heading to the Black hills for my one and only ever rally, just not my bag.

We normally avoid groups of letherclad posers like the plague but had to do it once and the Black Hills are spectacular

All in turned about 10,000 miles on that one in 30 days all of it on back roads and state highways.

Springtime will be the East Coast to Nova Scotia and back

Sounds awesome. Where do you usually stay? I have an oregon prison bedroll but as I get older and have fewer trips I've started using KOA cabins.

It wasn't much for scenery but Rolling Thunder was always quite the experience as you gathered more and more riders along the way. You reached horde status long before even approaching DC. The first time I did it there was still some reasonable chance that American POWs were alive in Vietnam and and it really was a powerful and even jarring experience just to be there in support of the Vietnam vets. There really was a sort of white trash grandeur in the way the MC bikers set aside all beefs and assorted scumbaggery to treat it as a holy pilgrimmage. I hear the national organization has declared this past year the end but I expect there'll be large numbes making the ride to The Wall for years to come. I hate it for anyone who missed it in it'a heyday. It was a beautiful snapshot of some of America's worst at their very best.

haha for sure. I lived in Tampa for a while used to go out to the bridges on Saturday nights to watch the bikes race and do stunts. There was also an old restaurant on a causeway that I can't remember the name of but it was the spot to meet up and race on weekends.

Interesting but would probably only go if I lived around there. Draw of the open road is too much that when I get some free time last place I want to be is stuck in a city.

Largest group I've ridden in is about 1,000 bikes during a post ride in El Paso. Pretty awesome looking back and seeing bikes as far as you can see, I imgaine rolling thunder is similar but on a much larger scale.

Whatever motel/hotel is at the end of the days ride, we absolutely never book anything ahead of time on purpose.

I will sleep anywhere that looks clean but my wife has higher expectations.

We honestly have nothing but a general idea where we are going and just kinda go where the mood takes us.

Or while you are walking it backwards into your parking spot at the local "biker bar"?

Love to ride.

Currently riding a dual sport bike but really want to sell it and get a scrambler. Love the old school look of those.

Problem is that I love riding on trails too much to ride long distances on the road.

I feel you....unfortunately my wife doesn't agree that I need minimum two motorcycles so I stick with the cruiser.

Did you actually think this was a good idea?
You'll only get ridiculed and cajoled.

Oh, I ride.
