Seriously? I love those Heritage Classics. And, no more chains to worry about.

Yep. Last bike I owned was a 2001 Valkyrie. Sold it when commuting was getting just too dangerous. Now that I'm retired, I live in the country and just want to bomb around country roads.

Wow that's incredible Kevin! I've been wanting to know somebody that had that bike with that engine. I have studied that engine somewhat and it is a marvel of technology.

Beautiful bike but there is no way I would ever get one after seeing the aftermath of too many crashes. Stay safe, Kevin.

My last bike, named Mufasa. Hey, no comments, please! My daughter named the bike after the James Earl Jones lion in The Lion King.

Thinking about naming this new bike Betsy. Classic American bike, classic American name.

I've ran in to some obstacles this year, not on a bike and had to get rid of my Goldwing, I miss it like I've lost a loved one. Congratulations! That's a beautiful ride!

You sold your Wing? THAT'S a bummer! Those things just about drive themselves. Only motorcycle I ever heard of with an optional wine cellar. They are something!!

Yes, there is no safe way to drive a motorcycle. All you can do is lower the risk by riding smart. And not driving like UTAH. Did I mention his name came up in my last Motorcycle Safety Foundation class?I've never owned a motorcycle, but have forever admired a big, thumpin' Harley...Congrats, Kevin, and be careful out there...

Yeah - earned that one.
My wife and family made me agree to never ride another bike. I get it - they went through emotional hell due to my last caper.
I really do miss them, though. I'm trying to be an adult by doing what they want... but it doesn't mean I have to like it.
May you be safe, Kevin.

Gave those up back in the seventies. Always want to hop aboard one again yet wisdom of old age keeps saying no. Keep the shiny side up.

I seem to have said something with more meaning than I knew. I am sorry, UTAH. I didn't mean to bring up any pain for you. I just was remembering a conversation from maybe 15 years ago where you talked about how you navigate your ninja bike through traffic, with a slash and thrust sort of procedure to work your way up the traffic bolus. That was the last time I remember the topic of you and motorcycles coming up so I was teasing you about that. I didn't realize that you had some things come up on the personal front with respect to motorcycles. Sorry, buddy.
