  2. Thanks for keeping in touch Bro. If your talking about the brother that I think your talking about, he wont ever be back! : ) I do look forward to hangin out with you again as well. It's been way too long. Maybe when I am heading to Alaska, sometime in April or May, we can get together. Rent a scoot and we can ride out to Warrens and ride with him, he is riding a beautiful road king these days.
    Politics is the only thing that concerns me about any of the places I have travelled and will be traveling to. The people themselves are above them. Believe me.
    The biggest thing that kinda bothers me, sometimes, is that I am riding a machine through territory where most people wouldn't spend the amount of money on their house as I did on the HD. I kinda feel like the fat rich gringo showing off my wealth some times. A little decadent and outrageous I suppose. But you know what? I am going to ride this bad boy to the Southern tip of South America and back anyway!
    Once I pull into a town where I am gong to crash, I stash and cover it up for the time I am in the town and just walk around so am not flashing it all over the place.
    Anyways, guess I was rambling. Its all good, I have great respect for whats mine and myself and I am mindful of taking the best care of both. Not because I think people are going to hurt me or steal from me but because me and my stuff are important to me, if that makes sense? I could tell you some stories about bikers that I have met that are all pissed off at the people 'cause they got ripped off. When you ask them what happened, most of the time it was because they left something on their bike unattended, or got drunk in a bar... I do my best not to live life on the road that way. In the end I think it's not only about respect for myself and what's mine but also respect for the people and their space.
    Wow I bet this note has you sleepin! Sorry about that!
    Thanks again for keeping in touch. It makes me feel like we are dong this together!
    Peace.

  4. Now why would she be in fear of my journal making her sad? It is what it is. Let her know that I am satisfied, and most days, happy.

    "NOTHING COMPARES TO THE WIND BLOWING IN YOUR FACE, ON AN OPEN ROAD. WITH THE SOUND OF SOME GOOD TUNES AND THE PIPES RUMBELING IN THE WIND".
