A little about me

I know I am not the main subject but I figured I might as well tell you a little about myself.

I go by the name of Axe. And yes, I do ride with a Club but unless you actually know me then there is no reason to know any more than that.

I grew up in Upstate New York and I do not regret moving to Florida one bit. You get used to the heat in the summer, and eventually temps that you would have considered mild are now freezing.

I ride as much as I can, not usually a lot of long trips, but mostly too and from work. I will ride in the cold, but, like most, it is not my favorite.

My first motorcycle was a little 1989 100cc Kawasaki trail bike that I got when I was 13. Loved that thing, kick start was the best part. Laid it down a few times, and learned the ride on that thanks to my dad. Thanks dad, my love for riding is all your fault :). I think we sold it when I was 16. I just didn't fit on it anymore.

I did not have a bike again until I was 21 and bought a 2003 Suzuki Bandit 1200. That was a blast, but decided to trade it before I killed myself, plus, after one long ride my crotch said "hell no, not again!"

Second road bike was a 2002 Honda Shadow Spirit 1100. Great bike and I would recommend it to anyone learning to ride. It was pretty comfortable for the most part on long rides even for a guy my size. Very little happened to that bike in the near two years that I had it. I hate to see it go, but we just can't afford for me to have two bikes.

My most recent bike is the topic of this blog. A beautiful 1999 Harley-Davidson Dyna Glide Convertable. I have not had it long enough to give a full opinion on it, but that is also another reason for this blog.

Enough about me, back to the good stuff.
