I am by no means the best rider on the planet, or even the most experienced, but one thing I always wanted was a bike. After eventually learning how to ride one through the MSF, I discovered that drinking and riding was a no go. A real NO GO. But that didn't mean I couldn't combine my passions the correct way.
I eventually got enough experience to take longer rides, and with a goal in mind once luggage became the ultimate cool accessory, (more so than a Yoshi Pipe) I found myself riding to vineyards in Virginia at times, checking out scenic trails and the fantastic Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. I would find myself more in the scene, glancing at rolling green hills, old mountains of the Appalachia, chances to partake of fresh fruit, wine tasting (spitting), the sun shined as if the day would never end. Then someone came calling.
I received an invitation to write for a motorcycle magazine called Throttler. I've actually written my first article, and if you check the link up above you can see the article I wrote.
Throttler magazine is published out of Iowa, it's free if you find a copy at a local dealership where it might be distributed. The articles deal with a ride variety of motorcycle culture so please go check it out.
One last obvious thing, don't drink and ride EVER, that means ZERO CONSUMPTION while riding. Stick to the formula and you get to ride again. (You'll notice that all my bottles in this pics are of course UN-OPENED!) Even better yet... you'll have another drink when you're done!
Cheers and ride safe and smart, and then...
Drink well!
