Bio
Where do you start with something like this. I'm your typical white male. I'm married, for the third time. I have 9 kids and 4 grandchildren. Currently I'm an OTR truck driver. I've been doing it for the past year and a half, but I've had several careers. This one is just the latest. In the past I've tried selling cars. That didn't last long. I should say it didn't take me very long to figure out that I'm to honest to sell cars. I've spent lots of years in the restaurant business. Most of that was in the pizza business either as a manager for other or for myself. I also spent 8 years in the Air Force working in ER's and flying Aeromedical Evacuation. I have to say, the biggest mistake I've ever made was getting out. Anything else you want to know, just ask. I'll tell you.

Calling all HOGs

Rate: 3 Flag

Today is the day that all HOG lovers should be waiting for, and I'm here to bring you the good news first.

Yes folks the new 2010 HOG is now at your local Harley Davidson dealer.  After a long trip from York, PA to Yankee HD in Bristol, CT this shiny new HOG can be yours for just a few dollars a month.

 

There are some advantages to my job and being the first on hand to see the newest and greatest is just one of them.  Talk about hot!  You have got to see these.  They will make you want to trade in that old moped tomorrow.

 

Do I have pictures of what's in the box?  Sure, but your HD dealer would rather you come take that test ride yourself.

You should see this new shade of red that they have. It will make a fireman's hose run.

Didn't know about it. Water cooled or air cooled?

What we had were mainly cruisers. And yes they were water cooled. I guess that now that I'm getting older I like those built for comfort not speed.

They were to hot to be anything else.

I think what we're really looking at here is a box of weapons Erik Prince was hoping to smuggle into Iraq. I bet the box also has Bibles and other Christian paraphernalia inside as well.

With all the security that went along with those shipments I'm surprised I didn't have a Blackwater helo flying overhead.

I prefer my vehicles with at least 2 doors, but are you gonna get one?

Me get one? So either you want to see me dead or you think I have a death wish. Let me think on that one for a minute and I'll get back to you.

That was easy. Neither or true.

I would love to have one. I can't see spending $20k+ on a toy.

Did I ever tell you that when I was in the military I was a medic working in ERs and flying Med Evac? While there I picked up a kid who hit a pick up. This helmet kept all his brains contained so we didn't have to pick them up. His skull didn't do the job.

I also picked up a guy who according to the lady behind him was putting his foot down to stop. His foot hit the side of the curb and slipped off. The bike fell over, his head bounced on the grass, dead from broken neck. BTW, I've broken mine twice. I don't want to try for 3rd time is a charm.

I didn't get him but my buddy picked up a guy who went over the handle bars. Had on a helmet but no face plate. Road rash rubbed his nose and lips totally off.

I think I stick to my 80K pound truck thank you. But if I every do get one you have to ride with me.
