When I was younger I remember my parents riding motorcycles. They rode both dirt and road bikes. I believe that is where I get my passion for them.  I have raced dirt bikes and also am an active member in a local Motorcycle Club. My son raced motocross for 6 years and he also

My motorcycle has taken me many places. I remember going to the Blessing of the Bikes in Baldwin, Michigan. We took the highway there because we wanted to get there fast. On the way home, we took some back roads and ended up going through the Hardy Dam, what a beautiful place.  In 2003

He sat at the bar with his leathers and patches. For this he was already labeled by many patrons in the small town bar. In fact I too had probably already judged him without even a word exchanged. He risked rejection and approached our table. It took my friends only but one brief glance

My husband has always been a “biker”. Well, a biker at heart at least. In the beginning he was a “magazine/Harley T-shirt” biker. He didn’t own a bike but dreamed often of the day he would.

We are few, but we are many. Living for the good times, there have been plenty. Who are these Brothers by my side? These are the men that won’t run & hide. It is with these Brothers I chose to stand. Shoulder to shoulder, man to man. It is to each other that we give our all. Picking each other up
