Being an explorer is an inherent part of the biker spirit along with the need of freedom. In its heyday Route 66 satisfied these two basic needs for many Americans. Because of the nations desire to grow and prosper the interstate highway system was devised as a way to increase commerce and speed people to their destinations. The problem is that it put the focus on the destination and took the joy of the journey out of the equation. This started the decline of two things, all the small towns along Route 66 and people's ability to enjoy the journey and not replaced it with the need or instant gratification. Read more.

Hey, I had a strange day yesterday. My mission was pure creativity, to come up with an artistic notion for the Flying Piston Charity Builder’s Breakfast in Sturgis about a month away. I was burning daylight with no concept, materials and limited time. It was 4th of July and my mind spun with my plans for getting on the road to Sturgis, which would cut my deadline back for making a metal piece and shipping it, or hauling it to Sturgis. I went to the Long Beach VA for a healing hands treatment Tuesday and struggled trying for focus. My son wants me to write a book about my life and when I think about it all the Bandit shit ...

When the atmosphere started to cool they changed their tactic to Climate Change. That allowed them to blame everything that happened from car accidents to earthquakes, to rainfall on us. Scary stuff.. Now we are facing another California move ...

Or anyone else for that matter." - Matt Levatich, President and CEO, Harley-Davidson, Inc.
