Well, this is my first, of what I hope are many, blogs related to my future plans to explore the country on two wheels.
8 – 10 years ago I developed a dream to own a motorcycle. The dream was placed on hold until my two daughters were grown and off to college. By the way, I advise anybody who is interested in owning a motorcycle and has children, to wait until they are self-sufficient and that you have appropriate life insurance.
Once the girls were out of the house, I purchased my first bike, a Triumph Bonneville. A standard 865 cc bike with a top speed of 110. She was a great 1st bike and I rode her for a couple of years as I learned to ride. However, one 4 hour ride to Lake George from Greenwich, CT and I knew that I needed a new long-distance bike.
My next bike was the Victory Cross Roads, a 1731 cc bike with a top speed of 120. This bike served me well and allowed me to extend my trips as far north as Montreal. However, 8 hours in the saddle and I found that without a fairing to block the wind blast at 60 – 80 MPH, my shoulders started to fall off. So, I knew that I needed a new bike with a large fairing.
My current bike is a 2016 Indian Roadmaster. A monster 1811 cc bike with a top speed of 110. She is built for comfort and not speed. with the most storage space of any bike on the road, I am ready to explore the country on this two-wheeler starting in March, 2018.
Until then, you may not hear much from me. But, once I hit the road, I plan to blog frequently and let you know where I am and where I am going. Looking forward to wheeling so keep tuning in
