I hope I am wrong, but it seems to me that events are leading us toward another world war. It seems, when times get tough, and someone wants to push their views and or expand their borders... You get the drift. Time is also a factor. There has to have been enough time, about 50 years, since the last world war so that the old folk who actually fought in the war are dead and can't sound the warnings loud enough to quiet the young folks war chants.

Politics are/is a difficult subject I usually stay clear of. When you are forced to defend what you feel at the core of your being to someone whose beliefs make your stomach turn and your head ache, it makes life difficult. One person wants and feels that a particular person would be best for our country, and you feel that someone else would do a better job. We discuss and argue around the kitchen table, on lounge chairs, on cell phones, and in the work place. It can be troubling.

Ok, I am so lame, my Mom told me to rent it. It was funny. My wife teases me about putting on leather and all black when we ride, but hey when in Rome. If you rent the DVD, there is a section in the bonus tracks on how to get your wife to OK the purchase of a motorcycle. I did mine the hard way... I hope this helps someone who like me did a long look as the rolling thunder was passing you by. I have to take my bike in tomorrow for its 1000 mile tune up, not bad for 6 weeks and not taking it on any trips yet.

In our little corner of the world (Memphis) on Wed night Joe's Crab Shack hosts "Bike Night". Basically the parking lot is broken into 2 areas. Cars in one, and bikes only in the other.

The Mrs and I got there about 6:30 which turned out to be a little early. As we rode in, the closer we got to the bike lot the rumbling got louder and louder, and even though she gave me crap... yes I started reving my engine.

I never thought I would get here, (mid-life) but here I am. 10 years ago I was drinking and hanging out, coming and going as I pleased. Dating all the wrong women and loving it. Flash forward and I have a REAL job, mortgage, nice house and a wife how is SO sick of hearing about my old life!

To tell the truth, it was fun.. but being married and sharing life experiences has a lot more benefits. First of all most of my stories now don't start with "Man we were drunk... do you remember the time when we...."
