Way to go Dyna Bro!

It is the sound of our people!

Still need to repair/replace front fender, and repair chips in tank. Do I keep the brilliant silver pearl or go a different color all together? Chrome fork lowers, LEDs for signals, change tank badge, and a few other farkles.
I'm sure this "project" will be done in about another 10 years or so...

This off-season's upgrades: Passing lamps (no pesky bar), flush gas cap and fuel gage, and new seat. Wasn't sure about the seat until I rode for a couple hours. HUGE difference, especially with the beach bars! I didn't have to keep a death grip without the windshield at 70+ mph

2004 FLHRSI

If you had to choose only one...

2022 H-D Pan America Special 1250 with 17k miles OR

2024 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 with 2k miles???

Epic.

I just realized how much more difficult waiting until spring is going to be this year. Awesome video!

I’m leaving the industry (as a career, not as a rider) after GM’ing 10 different dealerships in my career.

7 Harley-Davidson, 2 Triumph, 1 KTM, 1 BMW, and 1 Royal Enfield.

Gave my notice last week.

Biggest question I have: What’s it like to ride with friends on a Saturday?

I didn't expect so many young ladies who don't seem interested in motorcycles to follow me on Bluesky.

Maybe there's hope for the Millenial and Gen Z to start riding motorcycles again? 🤔 🙄 😆

I deem this beef suitable for consumption.

On a scale of 0-10 how likely are you to recommend your health insurance program to a friend or family member?

Ooh Rah

Two in the stable:
2022 H-D Pan America Special. Commuter bike, gets a little off-pavement. Bells and whistles galore and 150hp.
2004 H-D Road King Custom. Beach Bars, Fish Tail exhaust, mild cam. Loud and slow. Weekend grocery getter and never-ending project!

11. Do you have outward concerns, opinions, emotional reactions to how other people choose to live their lives? How does enacting legislation play into your opinions on how other people choose to live?

10. What are your true thoughts about preventative and prophylactic care? Have you made efforts to practice it? If so, how difficult was it to practice?

9. Do you trust doctors and healthcare professionals? How about health scientists?

8. Do you know how new medications and medical devices are studied and made available to the public?

7. Do you know where healthcare standards and recommendations come from (ex: breast cancer screening recommendations). Do you know how insurance companies help guide these recommendations?

6. Are you white? If so, do you understand the disparities in health care and food availability for you/your family vs anyone not white?

5. What do you do everyday to maintain your best possible health? Do you regularly drink/smoke/vape/eat junk food? How effective were you at looking at your/family daily habits and changing them in the past?

4. How much do you know about the health system of, say, Canada? Do you personally know Canadians and had discussions with them about what they like/dislike about their healthcare system?

3. Have you/partner/child ever been to a doctor and decided you did not like him/her. Was it when you had private insurance? Or were you on a form of government run healthcare? What were your options when you decided you did not like the physician?

2. What are the three biggest causes of mortality in the US?

1. Can you identify fake news/memes on sm? The number of people convinced they were reading the real "manifesto" of a rich white kid from a family that OWNS healthcare facilities makes me think many struggle with this.

11 questions to induce critical thinking about non-profit vs. for-profit healthcare.

Credit to (stolen from) my sister-in-law Sally. She's pretty smart and not on Bluesky yet. Don't tell her I said she's smart, I'll never hear the end of it.

We need to see HSA maximum contribution limits increase to the level of the HSA policy’s out of pocket maximums, imo. Am I missing something?

Riding engages both hands, both feet and demands a level of attention that forces us to clear our minds of other distractions. It starts for many of us when we ride bicycles for the first time. In a picture, it’s this:
