There is certainly something to be said about the saying, “Find something you love to do and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

I am very excited to be writing about the motorcycle lifestyle. I am an avid motorcyclist, of course thanks to my husband who owns a HD 100th year anniversary Softtail Classic and an ’03 883R Sportster.  We have been fortunate enough to ride on some of the great roads from coast to coast.  The greatest thing about living in the state of Forida is you can ride 365 days of the year and my intention is to make it more enjoyable for you by sharing my own experience and those of other great motorcyclists who wish to share their stories.

New Jersey Devils owner Jeff Vanderbeek wants to put it back together and place it outside the Prudential Center, home ice for the Devils.

But costs could break the bottle plan.

 A motorcycle ride led by a well-known name famous for his years on four wheels is celebrating its fifteenth year as it leaves Stevenson, Washington on a 3,500 mile trek.

The Chick-fil-A Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America is setting out exactly 15 years since the inaugural Kyle Petty Charity Ride left Sacramento, Calif., on its first cross-country journey. The 15th anniversary Ride benefits Victory Junction and other children’s charities. Petty and his wife, Pattie, founded Victory Junction in Randleman, N.C., in 2004. The year-round camp serves children ages 6 to 16, with serious health issues, at no cost to their families.
