  • Ride till I can no longer get on the bike

    Well to start off I just started a new life after a Liver Transplant in 2013 that went very well. I also beat Liver, Lung & Melanoma Cancer so I am meant to be here for more time so I am going to ride the bike whenever possible. I am going to be 64 in February and hope to keep going for a lot longer if the Good Lord lets me. If he cured me that many times he still has something I need to do for him so we will just ride until that day gets here.

    I am a retired Pennsylvania State Prison Officer of 28 years and love to ride.

    I started out riding bikes when I was 10 years old on a 45 Harley Flathead we had and then stepped up to a couple Harley 36 knuckleheads I fixed up that I rode to high school. Since those bikes I have had many more of all types in the stable at one time or another.

    My latest one is a 2003 Vulcan 1600 classic I just purchased a few months ago and will be getting it into better shape this winter with new clutches and lifters and a few other things to get it running in top shape.

    So if any one is ever in the Western Pennsylvania area give me a holler and maybe we can meet up and ride together and talk about our rides.
    We will be friends until we are old and senile! Then we will be new friends!

                    Hey inky! I'm not sure why I just got notified of this thread, but I'm glad i did. I'm in Butler and would be happy to ride with you sometime, if they ever get our roads clear. Find me on Facebook or shoot me a message here to my inbox. I'm happy that you're going to enjoy being in the wind for a while longer. Take care!
