THINGS--JUST CRUISEN-- AGAIN & AGAIN

WELL—IT’S JUST AS I SAID LAST WEEK—ANOTHER ‘JUST CRUISEN’ POST..OF COURSE THERE WERE PLENTY OF BEAUTIFUL SPOTS AND ROADS THAT I COULD HAVE STOPPED AND TAKEN A PHOTO OR TWO OF, BUT I JUST COULDN’T BRING MYSELF TO STOP THE BIKE—WANTED TO KEEP ON ROLLING..

MEET RAD OLSEN AND HIS BEAUTIFUL 09 ROAD KING
RAD OWNS KENNEDY ELECTRIC IN TORRINGTON--NEED SOME WORK DONE??
RAD'S BEEN ON BIKES SINCE HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD!!
AND STILL HASN'T HAD ENOUGH

AFTER DOING A COUPLE OF ‘MUST GET DONE’ THINGS, I WENT THROUGH THE USUAL RITUAL OF UNLOCKING THE BIKE—DOING THE SAFETY CHECK THING (BACK BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH WAS OUT-NO BIG DEAL-JUST MAKE SURE TO USE THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER SO THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON), WASN’T EVEN GOING TO TAKE THE CAMERA—JUST WANTED TO RIDE FOR A FEW HOURS AND ENJOY THE HIGH..

AND HERE IS RAD'S BEAUTIFUL WIFE-SYLVIA..
LOOKING GREAT WITH HER 07 SOFT-TAIL DELUXE
SYLVIA HAS BEEN RIDING SINCE THE EARLY 1980'S

MORE GOOD PEOPLE THAT WERE UP AT BARKHAMPSTED
LEFT TO RIGHT
BRAD, BEEN RIDING SIX YEARS ON A SUZUKI BOULEVARD--JAY, 30 YEARS ON TWO WHEELS, ANOTHER LIFER WITH A '05 SOFT-TAIL--THE BACK SIDE OF ART, AGAIN ANOTHER LIFER THAT DOESN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY BIKES HE'S OWNED, RIDING A 2011 ULTRA CLASSIC--AND PAM (BELOW)

PAM TRADED HER SUZUKI PLUS SOME $$ FOR HER '07 SOFT-TAIL DELUXE, HER SECOND YEAR
BEING UP ON TWO WHEELS AND LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT

THEN I THOUGHT BETTER OF IT—I KNEW THAT ON SUCH A BEAUTY OF A DAY I WAS SURE TO MEET UP WITH SOME OTHER ‘IRON HORSE’ PEOPLE..SO, AFTER MY USUAL APPEAL FOR DEVINE PROTECTION, I FIRED UP MY ‘LOW RIDER’ AND ONCE AGAIN—I WAS IN THE WIND—RUNNING THE SUPER HIGH THAT ONLY BIKERS KNOW—ALL THE CRAP OF THE WEEK, ALL THE JUNK THAT WE HEAR ON THE NIGHTLY NEWS, THE BULL-CRAP THAT THOSE FANCY DRESSED POLITICIANS PUKE UP JUST FALLS AWAY AND IT’S JUST YOU-YOUR MACHINE-AND THE WIND-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------F. T. W.---------LET’S RIDE!!!--------------------------------------------------
AFTER ROLLING THROUGH EIGHTY OR SO MILES I DECIDED TO HEAD OVER TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE STOPS--BARKHAMPSTED (WHERE I MET ALL THESE GOOD PEOPLE)..PRETTY INTERESTING PLACE.. DID A BLOG ON THE HISTORY OF THE SITE BACK IN JUNE OF 2011=CHECK IT OUT IN THE JUNE ARCHIVE SECTION..TILL NEXT WEEK--HAPPY TRAILS--STAY WELL--STAY HAPPY AND BREAK THE RULES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE....(THANKS ROSE)

You go Jim!! Clear those cobwebs and c.r.u.i.s.e. :) Those lady-bikers are something hey?
Yesterday when we were out and about I said to the girls a couple of times "keep a sharp eye out for Harleys won't you?" They were more than curious to watch what I was going to do if we came across any. ;)

Hi Rose, Always good to hear from you..Your right -the biker women I have had the pleasure of meeting are in a class by themselves..I have been trying to do a story on another motorcycle club exclusively for women but it's been tricky hooking up with them..Talk to you soon-Jim
