This is me, my 2007 Harley Nightster and my best friend with his Harley. I LOVE to ride but unfortunately where I live it is now cold and snow is on the ground. My friend, well, he is lucky enough to live in a state where he can ride year round.
I had always wanted a motorcycle, dreamed of riding on the back of one, owning one. People though I was crazy. Now I am an ICU nurse, I see several motorcycle accidents in my unit and some of the doctors have fun pointing them out to me and asking when it will be me in that bed. Usually I just laugh, what can I say? I know the risks, I always put on my gear but I know there will come a day when a car does not pay attention or my tire will blow out and I will crash. Riding her benefits me in so many ways! Of course the thrill of the ride itself is great but it is also a way for me to get out by myself to truly be alone. I love to get out of the city and just enjoy the ride. This bike is some of the best therapy I could ever have to get away from in insanity in my life.
As a side note, the friend in the picture has his own blog. You can find it listed as Adventures in Chrome, go on give it a click!

My wife loves to ride too - during the summer I send her down to ride with our friend in Indiana. Maybe I should get her a bike of her own...
I took a motorcycle safety class once. Crashed into a pole on the last day of class (target fixation - long story). I consider it a public service for me to keep my ass off of a motorcycle... BUT I definitely appreciate the appeal!
Awesome bikes! I've always had a secret yen to be a biker chick.
