We are all wired different. We can all agree we love riding our motorcycle. We don't all have the same method of operation and that is okay. Some of you like blasting down the highway 10 over the speed limit. Some of us like poking Along on that back road. Some of us like getting in them twisties and just enjoying the flow. As the season comes grinding to a halt I hope you are appreciating them ri...

Motorcycle season is winding down. I'm not happy about it either. Let's face it bro we are not going to ride in the snow. Here's a few tips on how to keep your motorcycle during the winter. Here's also a long ramble on why I still appreciate shelter so much. Sometimes you just have to let the happiness endorphins win. Sometimes they send me straight to my motorcycle. Other times my friends it's ha...

Often I think to myself the snowbirds have stuff figured out. When it's warm out they hang out in Ohio and when it's cold out they hang out in Florida and they never have to deal with the snow. What a phenomenal life. Year-round they can walk their dogs or ride their motorcycles or what the hell ever it is they want to do. What could possibly go wrong! Well let's face it we already know the answer...

Winter is coming. I don't like it any more than you do. If I get home and it's nice out I go on a quick motorcycle ride because I know this s*** is about over. Are you ready? Are you ready mentally, physically, financially? I know I'm not haha. Sure, I can pay the power bill but I don't have to like it. I'm not ready to put the motorcycle to bed. What choice do I have?

Ain't nothing like it my friends. Around the age of 10 when you can leave on your bicycle and pedal down the street and you have the whole town as your little plethora of entertainment. My friends the 70s were epic. Now add a mini bike to that. Now add a few friends that also had Mini bikes. I relived that yesterday. One of my friends from 50 years ago stopped by and guess what he was still on the...

Technology makes the best of the best but it also makes the worst of the worst. Technology will spoon feed you whatever you want to think is real. Don't subscribe to it. My friends put down your phone and go for a motorcycle ride already. My friends get out of your house and look around and see what's real in front of you. Technology or I guess I should call it mainstream technology has this abili...

Some people are happy to see fall come into season. Some people enjoy seeing it snow and the pretty blanket of snow on the ground. There are those of us that would like to punch them people in the mouth. Ha ha We are all wired different. Some of us need to be around crowds and some of us need to be the hell away from them. There is no wrong answer my friends. We can at least talk about it though.

Bro it's a motorcycle club not a charity. If YOU'RE here I hope you brought your wallet. I have seen it seen it seen it. These poor broke ass dudes on junk ass motorcycles that think their life will be complete if they join a MC. I've seen dudes that can't take care of themselves let alone a motorcycle let alone their family let alone pay dues and they still end up patched in. Before you go diggin...

I see a lot of pop-up clubs with young men in them. Good for you guys. I see a lot of gray beards that prefer to ride solo. Good for you guys. We all wired different. Over the years the way you think of things and stuff and stuff and things is going to change. You aren't the first one. Welcome to the world of greybeards. Maybe I can explain why the gray beards tend to leave the clubs that have a l...

Are you on your forever bike? Are you just getting started? Are you going to let a last minute major purchase in your life cause you to have to work into your retirement years? I have asked the question on Facebook many times. Would you rather have an old car to Tinker with in your driveway at home or do you want a brand new car sitting in the parking lot at work? I think you'd be surprised how ma...

I love motorcycles. Back in the '80s I loved motorcycles a hell of a lot. Back in the '80s if I had a day off if it wasn't down pouring rain you would probably find me on that motorcycle. I wasn't in a motorcycle club. I guess I was a reject haha. If I wasn't on the motorcycle Don't Pity Me or feel bad for me there was probably a skirt involved haha. No bro I wasn't wearing the skirt I'm talking I...

My friends there's no more valuable gift than time. If you are spending a little bit of time with somebody it's a big damn deal. While you're doing that let's make the most of it. Let's break down what that person needs the most. Let's look at a way to be a better leader. Let me tell you who all needs your mentorship.

Can you afford a new motorcycle? Can you afford to not get one? Has the current job situation raised your wage? Do you really have more disposable income? Are you ready for the federal government to raise the prime interest rate? What is this going to do to the cost of a new motorcycle? Even more important I thought I already looked as stupid as I could possibly look but now I have new glasses. Do...

Driving to work some of us turn off on the off-ramp that has the hardest job. Driving to work some of us turn off at the off-ramp that has the most comfortable job. There's no wrong answer bro only different results. Some of us do all that extra work for extra things and stuff. Some of us do the extra work because we want freedom as fast as possible. Some of us have easier jobs for a slightly easi...

In our life there are so many things and stuff and stuff and things that we keep spending money on that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with freedom. My friends as you get older and get tired of going to work you're not going to wake up one morning and say I wish I had cinemax. If you are drowning and you can't get to the surface to breathe you are not going to be wishing for a camper. Th...

I'm tired of being a tree. I feel more like being a rock in a cave haha. Over the decades, over the generations, bikers have changed bro. What it means to be a biker has changed changed changed. For the better? Probably. It doesn't mean I have to like it. How many doctors and lawyers and accountants and Taco Bell workers are so bored with their job that they decide to get a motorcycle to fill the...

All the hard work. All the pain. All the bills. All the repairs. Is it worth it? Why do we do it? Let's talk about it...

There are phenomenal resources available that can teach you how to manage money. They are phenomenal resources available that can teach you how to change your spark plugs or put air in a tire or many of them very difficult mechanical tasks. If you already are set financially consider this podcast satire and fun. Bro if you are struggling from paycheck to paycheck some of this s*** might hit home a...

Can you behave yourself when you are unsupervised? I suck at it. Haha When I'm unsupervised I go where I want and say what I want and do what I want. For the most part though that probably cost less money. Speaking of unsupervised though I'm seeing a lot of little businesses around here that don't even have an employee to supervise. I hope all these people that left the workforce are living their...

We are slowly but surely entering into a season that will start depressing some of us. Fall becomes winter. Bro it's not here yet. Me personally, this is my best month. Here's why:

Who has opposing thumbs and went motorcycle riding yesterday? Me! Oh I'm going to pay for it today bro haha. The alarm clock and 4:00 a.m. has no mercy. I'm here to tell you do as I say don't do as I did. Learn from my mistakes. More important than any of that silliness though bro I want freedom. I want freedom. I want freedom. Tennessee Ernie Ford might have said it best when he said St Peter don...

In Ohio we have about a month of just perfect Nirvana weather. Not too hot not too cold just perfect. What a great time to bust out some gear and go for a ride. It's a little bit warm to walk around and all that gear in a festival. Guess what you get there and you shed some layers. In the evening when it's getting dark and you arrive home what a fantastic time to appreciate shelter.

They quit when they are done. Are you done? Or, are you just tired? Are you tired of being in the cage? Are you tired of working for the man? Are you thinking of quitting? Don't quit just because you are tired of your employer. Don't quit until you are done with your employer. The same goes with life. Sure when you get home from work and start mowing your yard you're already tired. A half mowed ya...

What can I say bro we're all wired different but I'm not dreaming of new toys. I'm not dreaming of a carnival cruise. I am not dreaming of my next camping outing. When you are at work what do you daydream about? Freedom... Freedom to choose. Freedom to use your time on what YOU want to use it on.

Happy labor day weekend. Let's get it started. I wish I could play music on my podcasts. We'd be partying today. How are YOU celebrating? My friends. I hope you enjoy your labor day weekend. I hope you are living your best life.
