The North Coast of United States. The only beach in Pennsylvania USA. (Erie PA)

73 year old guy. Diagnosed in 1980. Sold my motorcycle 2010. PPMS. Reading other people's posts shows me how fortunate I am. the only debilitating pain I have had was 2 bouts of Trigeminal neuralgia. Dr

Raymond Sekula, of UPMC in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania relieved the pain.

Blessing to you all.

73 with PPMS, you are an encouragement. What kind of bike did you have? Nice to meet you, blessings Jimeka 🦋

Honda Pacific Coast. It looks like a scooter on steroids. 800cc, 150k miles when I sold it. I worked at the Harley Shop part time. BUT I prefer quiet.

My job at Harley was police funeral procession escort. We put sidecars on them and rode all winter. on a bad day my whistle tasted salty from the road salt splash.

Maybe it's the salt that has helped preserve you. I would have loved to have worked in a Harley shop. I didn't get to ride one until nearly 2 years ago, it was on my bucket list, blessings Jimeka 🦋

Jimeka, even though I cannot ride anymore I have sev.eral friends who will pick me up with their bikes and take me on a 4 hour vacation to Allegheny National Forest. In some ways it is better being the passenger. I don't have to pay attention I can just enjoy the ride. I hope you got a good ride

When I lived in Canada, it was always Nortons that I rode, but now I can actually say I have ridden a Harley. I love being the passenger, it's nice feeling normal and the balance isn't an issue . 🦋

Never rode a Norton BECAUSE on the Old Nortons the rear brake pedal and the gear shift were on opposite sides from m normal. I figured the risk of my making an error wasn't worth it.

trivia question for a Canadian. If you go due south from Detroit Michigan what is the first international border you cross. I had to go get a map when I was told the answer. my cousin lives in Port Edward Ontario he clarified me on this.

I lived in Sarnia, Ontario and used to go through Point Edward to get to Detroit, as far as I can remember. I am from across the pond, been back in the uk 30 years come June.

UK! You don't sleep much! So what caused you to be a citizen of the world? A motor cyclist in Sarnia, you had a short riding season.

I drive a 1952 MGTD (left hand drive,) I have had it for over 40 years. Do you see many of them?

Wow, that's a nice motor. My x and I used to have an MGBT back in 1977 but we sold it to emigrate to Canada. I was there 11 years, travelled a lot, I was a fitness director so getting jobs was easy. My x worked for Ontario Hydro, then Esso, then we moved to Alberta , Fort Mcmurray, then Edmonton. Came back here and married a farmer, being settled ever since. Just tractors now. My boys love motor bikes and quads, but I must admit it's fair weather riding on 3 wheels, push trike called Freedom for me now.
