2 Wheeled Thoughts
- Midnight bugs taste the best.
- The best alarm clock is sunrise on chrome.
- Never mistake horse power from staying power.
- Well trained reflexes are quicker than luck.
- If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.
- Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to stop for the night.
- A bike on the road is better than 2 in the garage.
- Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit.
- Saddlebags can never hold everything you want but always hold everthing you need.
- Gray haired riders didn't get that way by luck.
- Maintenance is as much an art as a science.
- The only good view of thunderstorms is in your rear view mirror.
AND......
- Only a Biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window!!!

The Fearless Board Track Racer
In the early 1900's, America was hungry for a new form of entertainment.
Motorcycles were becoming increasingly popular, not only as a means of transportation, but for social interaction as well.
Taking a cue from the French who raced bicycles on a wooden track called a Velodrome, the Motordrome was built and board track racing was born.
A motordrome was a huge oval or circle track constructed from a wooden frame and topped with rough cut 2 X 2 or 2 X 4 wooden planks.
They had high, steep banks.
Even though the rough cut lumber provided "grip", it made crashing even more dangerous.
Oil spills were also a danger factor.
By the 1920's, motordromes were at their peak, popping up in many major cities.
They provided high speed entertainment to all types of willing spectators.
This was not an aspect for the faint at heart.

The motorcycles were not much different than a bicycle.
Although they were capable of speeds over 100 m.p.h., they didn't have brakes!By the 1920's, motordromes were at their peak, popping up in many major cities.
They provided high speed entertainment to all types of willing spectators.
This was not an aspect for the faint at heart.
Over the next few years, board track racing was fading from popularity. After several fatalities of racers, & even some unlucky spectators, the motordromes were being referred to as 'murderdromes'.
By the late 1930', they had all but disappeared.
The fearless men who raced on the board tracks will forever hold a place in history and will be remembered as the true pioneers of motorcycle racing.

What A Trip!!
Have you ever just packed a bag, hopped on your bike, and hit the road???
The best times I've ever, EVER had on a motorcycle were just that random and spontaneous!
I have left town without planning a destination at all.
I'd pack a bag with a few changes of clothes, a few necessities, & a map, & hit the road taking old state routes rather than the super slabs.
"A Perfect Picture" by Dave Barnhouse |
It gives me peace of mind & is the best weapon against stress I've ever found!
There is something serene in a road trip that, to this day, I've not been able to find a substitute.
On the road, you learn alot about people and sometimes a little bit about yourself as well.
Rollin' down the road with a song in your head, your hand on the throttle, & accompanied by the rumble of your Harley's exhaust, is 2 wheeled therapy in it's purist form.
Sadly, many people have not experienced this since we live in world inundated with schedules, planning, meetings, along with the 'rat race' technology has created.
I call these trips 'Hobo Runs" as they are reminiscent of the days folks would pack a bag, hop a train & search for opportunity, adventure, & sometimes their next meal.
Life is a trip...so take one!
Don't let overplanning keep you from the relaxation of the open road.
It's calling YOU!!!
