Live to Ride - Ride to Live...

When visiting my daughter and son-in-law in Colorado I was facsinated by the sense of freedom experienced by the "big" bikers - Harley Davidsons etc.As a youngster I was not allowed a motorbike
- now in my early sixties I dream of riding those wide open roads on a Harley!! In truth I would need lessons to ride and I probably would not be able to pick one up should it fall over!Still we all need dreams.Here are a few pics I took in the states....

David, great shots! Now get your own HD and live the dream. I recently bought a Harley (first one) and I'm just a couple of years in age behind you.

Hi David,
I like your bikers gallery very much. Very nice presentation.
I also have a Harley-gallery so if you have the time, take a look.

I have been riding for over 40 years and have just purchased a 1200cc BMW RS.

It is incredible to see your quality pictures and so much interest in what is my support,ie flowers and the admiration of scenic beauty. Please email me and tell me about your bike/gear and plans for BC trips in 2007. Cheers from Burnaby. Peter D Starkey loyalist@shaw.ca or 604-294-3559.

Great shots. Saw lots of mature bikers in the US quite different from the UK.Most were happy and friendly.

I tell everyone when my daughter goes away to college, that I am getting one and going cross-country! Good to dream!

Excellent shots. You're making me want to get one - thing Beth (and Melissa) would let me?
