I've owned several motorcycles and have had at least 1 Harley Davidson in my possession for the last 20 years. My 1st was a 1994 Sportster, I put 22,000 miles on it in 14 months and sold it for about $2500 more than I paid for it. I had to get a bigger bike. I've ridden in 37 states, including 3 times from coast to coast on my Dyna Wide Glide. I still own that bike and ride it locally but for touring I ride my 'Geezer Glide', an Electra Glide Classic.

In my 12 years of EMS, I've been on quite a few motorcycle accidents, including those of people I knew. My advice to anyone wanting to get on 2 wheels is to take a riding safety course. The most effective safety device is between your ears, not over them. Riding is similar to flying in that you're doing your own thing, just you and the road. Even flying with others, in a group, you're together but still you in your airplane. I've explained what riding is like to 'cagers' as... 'You know when you're on a road trip and pull over in a new place, get out and smell the air, stretch your legs, etc....well when you're on a bike, the whole journey is like that'
