    Had to explain this decades ago to my insurance guy when he asked after 1st payment. I asked, so I'll see you next year he said next year this is only 6mo. Pulled wallet out paid full year, told him if roads are clear of snow temperature 34° plus I'm going to ride if i need to. Shook his head giggling called me a crazy mf'er, i replied nope sane & dedicated, thank you for this. Saved & going to share.

    "To think of everything, or nothing" Ain't that the truth. There's either 1,000,000 thoughts going at once and I can't keep any of them straight, or there's absolutely nothing going, just riding. Thanks Weems! This is rad.

      Everyone starts somewhere. I pedaled my ass around till I was in my 30s and then decided I could trust myself with a motorcycle. I had minibikes as a kid and I was fine with them but I always hurt myself doing tricks on my bmx bike and knew I kill myself on a motorcycle. Now in my 40s I live for the time I get on 2 wheels just wish dad was still here to ride with.

    • @KeithHuntsman-onhiatus
      @KeithHuntsman-onhiatus 7 місяців тому +1

      Sorry to hear about your dad, mine died when I was about 27, but we weren't close anyway. My parents had already been divorced about 5 years. Yeah eventually I'll find that motorcycle, maybe it'll be a Triumph! Take care @@gerneticut

    Is there a name for this style of chopper or an era in which they were commonly modified like that? I don't know anything about choppers but I'm really drawn to its simple proportions and how the front end isn't crazy long
